There are many reports of BBP card accomplishing exactly what you wish to accomplish with no AF and without appearing on the individual’s credit report and without affecting 5/24.

There are very few, if any, reports of an AmEx biz card, including BBP, counting toward 5/24. Other than a hard inquiry, there are few, if any, reports of an AmEx biz card being listed on an individual’s credit report.

There are few reports regarding AmEx Amazon biz card, maybe it’s an exception.
