What more do the banks see what you apply for a business credit card?

Do they see all the other Biz cards on that social, with all the same info that the personal cards usually have?

For most Biz cards, they pull a personal and biz report. 

TBH I have never seen my Biz report.

Got auto-declined by Amex for too many cards within a few months - will that count as a credit pull?

Where does it show a list of credit pulls (without signing up for paid version)? I do see that it says my latest inquiry is 04/2016, which would indicate that it was not a pull unless the report wasn't updated yet (just happened yesterday).

Lol A+ in everything and F in credit inquiries.

Check the EX back door. 

Normally Amex is a SP for denial for existing card holders.

Existing card holders typically only get a HP for a denial if they would have been approved based on the last AR SP but their report changed in a way that they were denied.

Can I call a credit bureau to combine multiple pulls from the same month if one pull was from a personal app and the other a business app?

Do US Bank business credit cards report/affect personal credit score?
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

My credit score listed on Amex dropped by almost 30 points this month (high 700s to mid 700s). Can that solely be attributed to opening new accounts and closing others? I opened at least 4 cards within that timeframe.
