So, I also jumped on the BHG credit card train last week and applied for the BHG Money MORE Business credit card.
Was subsequently approved instantly for $12k w/ an unknown APR.
Unlike most of the folks here who got approved, I did not receive a "DocuSign" form, rather just an email confirming my limit and approval.
Today I check my mail and already received the card.
When I went to activate it on their website, I get a message that it's been "Blocked due to suspected fraud"...uhh what?
On another note, the card does not have my Business Name on it, just my name and looks like a Personal Credit Card, but has the "Business" wording on the front.
I call CS to ask what's going on, and the rep tells me "I've filed an escalated request for the back office to contact you in 24-48 hours"...
So I ask him, is this normal or can you explain why this is happening? He says it's normal and someone will contact me via email.
Obviously I'm assuming they want my formation docs (which I have and everything is legit) but this is bizarre to say the least.
Has this happened to anyone else?
I know this is a new card we all went for, but now I'm starting to think my suspicions were correct in this BHG was some fly-by-night company.
Many thanks for your replies.
@atst2000 i have not had any issue with my bhg business card. i sucesfully did a 4k balance transfer and have been able to use it for purchases. The only issue ive had is that for some reason BHG blocks the card from being added to Paypal. I too recieved no docusign after approval so im sure they just need to verify something with you and youll be up and running again in no time
When I tried to activate my new BHG More Business it said it was blocked for fraud.
I called customer service, got a call center, was put on hold, then told I would hear from them, and it would probably take at least 48 hours.
Not very nice.
Kind of scary. Maybe this is some kind of phony operation.
I attempted to activate my card as well, had the same issue that @SouthJamaica & @M_Smart007 reported
When I called CS, I was told that I needed to email identification documents....front and back of gov't ID with matching address and a utility bill with the address.
Sent that off...we'll see what happens...
Fintech strikes again?
.. Weird thing CK although not business for same company I believe gave me a personal loak for 79k offer if not mistaken that popped up other day. ah here is screenshot. lol at apr though. Not meant to thread jack, jjust found it funny seeing all this BHG stuff then popped up on CK on main page. that apr is with a 800+ fico and a 830+ vantage....Interest and fees only 50k+ lol
Yeah, so I basically had the same thing happen 15 minutes ago. (Card was here when I arrived home) Spoke with a rep who was just dense, and he basically gave me the whole "escalated to the back office, they'll call in 24-48 hours" thing. So we'll see. I'm a *bit* annoyed at this point. Keep you guys posted.
