I jumped on the individual one last year, but my understanding is you could get the business one as well, correct? I currently have the venture card, and I actually do not want to cancel it right now simply b/c i'm working on something else with them that is pretty lucrative. Just wondering if the business card was available last year b/c I will more than likely go for that this year, if i qualify.

You confirmed it for 100k points again this year?
What line did you call to get the CSR who spilled the beans?
Sounds like a good deal if you can afford the 3 hard pulls and are looking for a points program with great flexibility.
I do wonder whether the T&C's will back up what the CSR says about last years approved members. Will there be a loophole?

Another 100k would be great. If you got the personal card last year I wonder what your chances would be to get the business card this time?
I didn't realize many people got 3 pulls, I only had two (ex and eq). It's like no one but barclays even knows transunion exists.

Yes, there was a business version, I think Gleff was able to get 440,000 miles between him and his wife using personal and business. The catch was you needed two accounts with 100k miles. I'm not sure if you could use the same account this time as you used before.

Doesn't look like it. Read the first post in last year's thread for those that counted...

In order to properly evaluate the profit potential of this fine opportunity for capitalistic enterprise
, I would like to know if the miles used as the baseline in the last iteration of this promotion had to be earned via an actual credit card (and if so, what evidence was required), or simply just sitting in the account.
PM please if you have specifics so that the appropriate account(s) for this promotion may be properly structured. Oops, my bad - I mean properly manufactured. Oh dear, that just did not come out right.

Using the two programs for personal and business should be just fine. I guess it will be up to Capital One, but last year many people upgraded existing cards to the venture and they were able to get the matching promo, so I think you will be safe.

All that needed to be done was the submission of a frequent flyer statement showing your total mileage balance. I believe there was also the requirement that you needed to have earned some of the points through another mileage earning credit card but I cannot recall how that needed to be reflected on the FF statement.
Also the statement could be up to 6 months old, so if you made a large redemption you could still match against the higher balance.
The program was easy: send statement, receive notification that you qualify, receive points. They really don't have any way to check the statement validity, so it was an honor system really.

For last years deal, it was just required to have the miles in an active FF program. The source of the miles did not matter and it was not necessary to have another credit card in that mileage program.
