Anyone manage to get a contactless card from them? I requested one and the card requests kept failing for multiple "mysterious" reasons. Eventually one of the reps admitted they've been having trouble with faulty contactless chips and just sent me an EMV only one.
Got 3k MR points for my troubles but just wanted to see if anyone here got a functioning one.

If you don't want a hassle, just pretend not to have a business (if you don't have an easily provable business). (See my "enhancement" of mia's post directly above.) That way they can't request documents asking you to prove your business name, prove your business income, etc, etc.

The application asks for both you business and personal income. I believe the business income is listed in ranges, choose the lowest. I believe the personal income is a box where you type your actual income, the same as on a personal card application.

Respectfully, I understand that part. I applied anyway and got approved, but only for $2K? I'm not happy with that but I can deal with it for now. In six months to one year I will ask for an increase.
The good thing is that I was able to use the app in the wiki. It gave me a problem for a minute, but the site saying that it was having problems after I applied and wouldn't go through. Maybe because I was on Chrome, so I went to IE and it went through.

When you receive the card, see if it has this feature:
The expanded buying power above your credit limit* gives you the freedom to tackle business needs as they come up-and the best part about it is that it's automatic, so you don't have to give us a call to set it up.
Enjoy expanded buying power with the option to spend above your credit limit
The amount above your credit limit is due in full each month as part of your Minimum Payment Due
There are no overlimit fees
*The amount you can spend above your credit limit is not unlimited. It adjusts with your use of the Card, your payment history, credit record, financial resources known to us, and other factors.

The good thing is that as a business Amex card it does not report to personal credit bureaus (as long as its keep in "good standing"). So you can at the very least walk right up the credit limit and not worry about how it affects your "utilization" and thus your credit score. (As mia said, you may or may not have the ability to even go beyond your credit limit.)
Because of this, a low credit limit on a business card (used for the same stuff a personal card would be used for) is not nearly as bad as a low credit limit on a personal card.

all right Exactly. I was thinking the same thing, especially after speaking to a rep via chat about 1 AM, who suggested that I wait 60 days and then call back to request an increase. And a major thanks for showing me how to go about this.
I do like what Mia has mentioned above but I still feel a bit better with an increase of my credit line one way or the other. I don't believe that I'll ever have a good feeling of ever going over my issued credit line. Only in a pinch, and a major pinch at that.

Then it asks for Personal Income, both total and the portion of non-taxable.

Not at all. May be you need to have a dictionary definition on Revenue, as well as Gross Income, Net Income, or Grasp, Net Loss - when the costs are bigger than the revenue!
Quite true. @:-)
Some businesses can have a large revenue, and a large cost + overhead, resulting to just 15% (just an example) of the revenue being the income. I would imagine a lot of the small time resellers on various websites fall into this profit margin. Not to mention a lot of businesses are losing money despite having a revenue, sometimes a very big one too!
