I honestly think the best move is just to open a business checking w/ BOA and put 1.5-2k in it, let it sit (small debits) for 1-2 mo and then apply. BOA seems to be very averse to banking with people without a relationship. And if you do this and then cal recon, you can say that you'd like to avoid the monthly fee by charging $250/mo on an associated card. If underwriting wont let you through then I think you're SOL. It looks to me like BOA ate it on alaska miles and now they're only thaking big ballers/debt ridden people.
Edit: And if you're 1.5 CD you can instantly transfer the funds, saving you 1-2 weeks
