Yes all the people on here sign up to report to DNB and we make are own network. not only would we help each other but,any new menbers. just my two cents..

I mentioned this once before but there were naysayers here saying that it couldnt be done. Im in the "process" of being able to report now. I think its a great idea if serious minded people got together to create an "intranet" of companies that report and give people what they want which is companies that report. Its not as easy as it was 3 yrs ago when all you had to do was be a "breathing" business to get credit. Now credit has dried up and companies that reported in the past have gone into hiding.

I believe the key is just to try and see what happens. Someone will give you a break.

Hey cleanmaster,

That is a great idea about the network. Let me tell you dnb has a vendor criteria for reporting accounts for other companies. I think the criteria is that you be in their system for 1 Year and have a clean file. Rl

hi could i ask you a question.

i just received my paydex.. but can seem to get any credit cards like staples or a gas card

i see you have alot of credit.. what should i do... my cpa is going to submit my finacials.. would that help with getting approved.. have good cash flow. i really need a gas card for my bus.. should i try bp i dont want to pg. anything

thanks

[bdell]

Hey

What do you have reporting right now? If you have your paydex as far as a gas card try for sunoco fleet card which goes through wright express and can be used at just about every gas station, or try for the chevron/Texaco card. Financials will definitely help in the long run but you should be able to get those two gas cards now.

If you just received ur Paydex, I would say go with Crown Fleet Card (which is also services by Wright Express, accepted @ almost all gas stations), as well as Chevron/Texaco.
-These both are due in full at month's end.

I think Shell Fleet and Exxon Fleet are revolving(I have yet to have luck with either of these two vendors)

As far as Staples, from my experience they are "weird" with their credit. You may be better off trying Office Depot.

What ever you chose, try your best to do the application in-store.

I had 4 tradelines reporting when I was approved for Chevron and Office Depot about 2 months back.

Uline
Grainger
Seton?
Emedco
AT&T?

I called Staples today, and I still can't get approval. Next time i'll try in-store.

NO PGs: Within the past 3 months got my first business cards (all gas)
-QT (was denied but offered a secured card, I declined)
-Valero (denied but offered a secured card, I took it since that's the cheapest and where I primarily use- they said in a year they'd convert to a real card and return the money I put up front)
-Chevron
-Exxon
-Shell (was the first one that approved me)

[milesb]

Any one ever heard of wright express? And if you have is it gas or in store and gas?

[MainSt.]

Wright express is a gas card for strictly gas purchases as far as I know.

[milesb]

Thanks i got approved but they want a debit from my bank account. If it is only gas that makes it not worth it. I would rather go get another experian trade from gboogie.

[milesb]

Thanks Mark. They said becuase my SIC code was trucking that they couldnt approve. They have some policy about trucking because of the way the industry is performing. Ill just go get some more tradelines and strengthen my file .

Hey Milesb that description of the wright express wasn't entirely accurate to shed some light on the matter the wright express is a universal fleet card which can be used for purchasing everything from transmission work at a suppliers center to purchasing a car wash to buying a bottle of water on a hot day at the fueling station while you fill up. The wright express universal fleet card does it all for a list of more vendors Click Here

I just applied for my wright express card on Friday and got a call from them today saying I was approved, I don't know the limit yet as that will come with the cards but I can say it's a net 28 not a direct debit.

Also they report to Duns & Bradstreet plus Experian so you might want to keep this account and pick up some more experian trades from gboogie.

Either way good luck and congrats on the approval

[milesb]

I figured I would go to gboogie one more time. Maybe uline,bitwave design. Then maybe something like seaton just to get my file fatter. Then go back in for a gas card.
