I sell things on eBay (although pretty much stopped doing it in 2014), and I am a software consultant. I told them I should be able to pull in like 36k last year, 40k this year, and that I make the majority of my income from the consulting side of things. They said the business just doesn't have enough credit, history, or revenue. I thought I heard of people being approved with as little as like $1 revenue?

Is there more of a strategy to getting approved for a business card? Do they want to see something in particular?

Also for reference, I was just approved for a 100k Amex Business card today as well. If I can get that card, no way I shouldn't be able to get a Chase Ink. This rejection was done over the phone, and took 4-5 minutes worth of time for them to decline me.
