Are MR really that valuable? I have a few other 2%+ cards (Spark, Arrival+) but if it would be valuable to generate 100K MR a year then maybe its worth it to get this card over one of the Delta cards. I guess the question for me is how much more valuable is 100K MR than $1000 or $1050? If these were Chase UR I know I calculate those as about 1.8c as that's what I get transferring to Hyatt, but I'm not a MR expert.

The way I see it, I'm taking a run at Membership Rewards points now. My system is set up for accumulating max MR points (everyday preferred for bonus spend & now blue biz plus for all non-bonus spend). These points add to the generous sign up bonuses I received (100k personal plat, 30k everday pref, 20 blue biz plus). At some point I'll run out of MR sign up bonuses available to me and will switch to Chase, Starwood, Citi, etc. For now, enjoying MR and there are plenty of transfer partners to take advantage of.

Business application includes an additional section with fields like: Industry Type, Company Structure, Years in Business, Number of Employees, Annual Business Revenue, Estimated Monthly Spend, Federal Tax ID number. Many of these are pull down menus with ranges. (You will ALSO provide information about your personal income, home address, etc and that's what will be used to evaluate the application.) Answer truthfully. I suggest you start an application and post back if you aren't sure how to answer.

so how do people fill those out? seems different from what i recall a while ago, which figures considering how different personal applications have also become.
im assuming no one has heard (rumors) re a personal version coming soon.

Industry Type: Other
Company Structure:Sole proprietorship
Years in Business: Lowest range or 0
Number of Employees: Lowest range or 0
Annual Business Revenue: Lowest range
Estimated Monthly Spend: I use the amount required to earn bonus
Federal Tax ID number: Social Security number
Don't overthink this. Issuers want to issue business cards, and they want us to use them, but they cannot openly market them for personal use.

I make some extra monthly income from renting a room in my house. I get paid in cash so it's not taxible. I've agreed to pay some bills, etc as well. would my application most likely get approved?
