Not on the BGR

Why because of FR risk from using AP and buying Vanilla?

Ye, BGR is apparently very sensitive to triggering FR for VR and AP.

BGR is by itself an FR risk. The risk may multiply with spending patterns.

With my wife we closed her cards in the FR as they wanted to see a tax return with biz name on it. I told them we didn't have that but our income is enough, but she said it needs to have the business name. She did say if we had used my wife's name as the business name then that may have been enough to pass the FR. They understood that it's an ebay business with not alot of revenue, so no business tax return, but they want to see the "biz" name.

Was the spg app put on hold or cancelled? sometimes they do that with multiple apps and only do the pull when you call in. that happened to me with personal and biz spg.

Good to know thanks mine is still in pending state and when I call they give me this garbage about executive team looking it over should I just wait it out or keep driving them nuts?

So i can get a FR even after i'm approved & they can close my account if i don't have a biz name on my tax returns? I'm planning to spend around $2k monthly without VR on this card

Yes. BGR is the riskiest Amex card to get.

If it's normal spending (not 4 charges of $500), you should be OK. No guarantees.

Yeah, regular stuff from groceries, gas, shopping & drinks night out with friends. I'm not planning on doing any VR on this but I might use Amazon payments for my monthly Rent. Will it be ok
