FNBO Business Card waitlist

[Anonymous]

Just tried to prequalify for this card and received a waitlist notification. Has anyone else experienced this and if so how long were you on the waitlist before they allowed you to apply?

Hi @Anonymous I am not sure what is the wait list means. I have not heard of the wait list. Is it some thing FNBO trying to market to some states and waiting for the approval?  Could you please explain little bit more.

I heard someone mention the wait list for FNBO a few days ago. They have also lowered their pre-qual limits recently from what I can tell from checking the personal card... it used to show a pre-qual limit the same as my bus evergreen, but now it is lower (more on that below).

There is a First bank business master card, isssued by FNBO, that pays flat 1.5% cashback and they pull experian personal according to other data points. 

Data points: https://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/Business-Credit/FNBO-Business-CC-First-Bank-MC/td-p/6483859

Pre-qual link: https://www.card.fnbo.com/mpp/firstbank/business/web-mc.html

The sub is only $30 and 0% interest but they have a pre-qualify, link like the evergreen. My "prequal" limit was the same as what I got approved for the evergreen business, when I checked a few weeks back. However, recently my preapproval amount went down by around 40% with no profile changes. Several other members have mentioned the same thing. I suspect this is due to global issues. 

Good luck with the waitlist and the master card if you decide to apply.

Hi @AceTen when you try pre-qual how long did you wait after your got your first card? When I try to pre-qual it says too many inquirues. But I have only 5 new inquiries since my FNBO card approval of which 4 are from FNBO it self. My first personal ($11,600) and Business card ($13,900) were pre-quals and the approvals came exactly same.  Right now I don't want to add new cards. I have decided to wait for 6 months and then try pre-qual again and see what they show as.

Hi @LP007 what did the letter say. Normally for Business Apps it is common for them to take time. For some people they automatically gave the card. For some they took time and approved it. For some people they asked for additional documents. In my case I got 7-10 day message. All they wanted to do is pull my Credit Report again. Not sure why. They did pull once when I applied. I let them pull my report again and after that it is approved within 4 hours with the exact amount that I pre-qualified $13,900. I can not complain. I am happy for now. I am going to let my credit report age for 6 months and see where my scores stands.
