I don't see any benefits to this card when compared to the personal Aviator Red card. Am I missing something?

Sorry for posting this here, but i didn't find a thread for Barclay's business cards so this one seemed most appropriate. So just a heads up, I'm seeing various reports (5 so far) that Barclays business credit cards opened from 1/1/22 onwards are reporting as new trade lines/accounts on personal credit reports. Seems to be right around the 30 day mark after opening the card.
This shouldn't really affect aviator biz for now since it's not currently open for applications.

The "reconsideration" number guy sounded like he was slugging beers in Guam. What I could make out was "we don't know, we don't know, people will approve or not in few days. Email if approve, letter if not approved".
Isn't there any way to get a real decisional person to ask to close my JetBlue personal to open this biz card? That 1st recon # isn't that.

Ohhh, I hope not. Just applied last weekend and called today and still no word on the biz card. I did biz for 5/24 purposes.

All 3 credit bureaus do NOT show my Barclay AA business card opened on 3/1/22. They DO show my CL decrease on my personal card (had to shift credit over to be approved for the business card).

I thought there was something from DoC site about this and it turned out to be an error on Barclay's part. But it wasn't for the AA card as they weren't accepting applications at the time.

At the insistence of 2 telephone reps that I absolutely did not have a biz application in, I let one do a telephone app for me. But now checking on the biz status link in the wiki, 2 applications are showing as pending. The link they referred me to could not find any applications. So it's critical to use the status link in the wiki (thank you!). Barclays is "different".

update Success:
Just received an email thanking me for going paperless on my Aviator. Never got a welcome email.
I was approved for the one applied for online exactly one week ago and also declined for the one the telephone csr submitted for me yesterday when she could not locate an application. (too much to hope both approved by Barclays.....they're tight). Hoping they don't both hit as pulls.

I did the opposite without any issue, and only a few months apart. I opened the Biz card back in June of '21 and an Aviator Red in Oct. I did use the promo code from an AA flight I had in Sept, so I don't know if that made a difference or not. I received both bonuses.

Here is the main part of a snail mail letter I got this week:
Regarding Your AAdvantage Aviator Business Mastercard:
Dear sdsearch,
Due to a technical error, you did not receive the Anniversary Bonus on your AAdvantage Aviator Business Mastercard account.
We have now added your Anniversary Bonus to your account and it will be reflected on your statement within 1-2 billing cycles.
I presume they are referring to this:

Limited-time offer of 80k miles + $95 statement credit with $2,000/90 days. Looks pretty juicy.

Citi AAdvantage Business Platinum = 15.99%; Citi AAdvantage Personal Platinum = 18.24%; Barclays Aviator Red Personal = 16.24%
25.24% just seemed a tad aggressive and was curious if other new applicants are seeing the same highs.
Thanks
