Exclamation declined for business card due to insufficient BUSINESS credit history???

Here's one I don't remember reading about here before:

I recently tried applying for an Alaska Business card (I had once before, and cancelled it about a year ago). First they asked me for 2 years of my taxes (they actually asked for more but then told me that the rest didn't need to be sent because of the nature of my business, and that it's just a stock list of requests ). But after I sent that, they notified me that I was declined due to insufficient business credit history! They said on the phone that they only saw 2 business cards from his year and 2 from ast year. Well, I had a Citi business card and an Amex business card opened circa 2015 (closed a year or two later), and currently have 2 business cards open from Chase, 1 from US Bank, and 1 from Amex, so this business credit bureau they used must only monitor certain banks and not others? Anyway, I've never heard of someone being denied at BofA (or anywhere else) for "too thin" a business credit history.

This just proves that they're constantly changing business card procedures at BofA, because they approved me without questions two or so years ago when I had much less business credit history.
