Whoa Nelly! Floor and Decor No PG Approved, Monster Limit of $14,500

This is not a drill. They instantly approved me for this card. I'm shocked. I only asked for $5k thinking I wouldn't qualify for much at all. I only have 4 accounts reporting on my business credit reports according to Nav. 7 on DnB, 4 on Experian, and 2 on Equifax. The one that I'm still paying on and reporting every month is from Nav.com. Although I've had my business in name since 2016, I've only had it as an LLC since November 2019, so it's now been officially two years! 

 

I also tried for Amazon Net 55 again but got a pending message, so I think it's another denial on that one. 

 

But whoa, I wonder what other no PG accounts I can try now. 

 

Paydex score is 80. Experian is 86. Equifax is 414.

Re: Whoa Nelly! Floor and Decor No PG Approved, Monster Limit of $14,500

@MmmarkAzwe received a no-PG Sam's Club Mastercard (Type 1, lowest rate) after 1-year of building business credit. If you refer to the link below, you'll see that journey. We obtained one Sam's Club MC for another business, but it was PG, but when I was out in Las Vegas at a conference, of all places, decided to take a gamble and go  into Sam's Club and apply for the no-PG again. We were approved instantly for $14,000 with no-PG.

 

You have to find business lines of credit that report to the various business credit bureaus. A PAYDEX of 80 is surely a good thing, but having a decent EX and EQ business score is likely necessary as well. When we received the $14K Sam's Club, we had decent scores (see the thread). For what it's worth, we're started moving away from all these different credit lines (as someone had noted would happen in that thread). Our bank has been "okay" and we started leveraging American Express more.

 

I used to subscribe to Experian Intelliscore and Equifax Business, but now just subscribe to Nav (nav.com). I pay the $39.99/month for business credit monitoring. Plus with the Nav+ account, they report to Experian.

I app'd and requested $10k, but was instantly approved for $14.5k.  Thanks for the post, wouldn't have guessed this one.

No problem. I'm glad to see that this post helped out quite a few in the last few weeks for sure.
