I just got approved for the business spg card and I'm not able to activate the card until they get the ein or tax I'd number. I don't have one as it's not a registered business.
Can I give any number or it needs to be legit as they will go and in to some records to see if this is valid?

aren't you allowed to have your own at-home business with your own social security number?

What does that mean, you can't activate it until you give an EIN?
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

You can get a number instantly online.
Please elaborate I've been trying to do this for free for months.

Did you put on the app that the business is an SP,  LLC,  or Corp?

Just call any Amex number. They'll direct you accordingly. GIYF.

I can use mileage on United or BA. Any good reason to get SPG Biz over United Explorer Biz?

$7,000 in 3 months is a bit much to spend. I'm not running around all day doing MS.

Do business cards go into the 5/24 rules in Chase? Meaning, do they count business cards towards the 5?

I've had the United consumer card in the last 2 years. Will I get the bonus again on a business card?
