Is there any issue with applying if my LLC is new? (within the last month) Thanks!
@ Bob Sanchez -- Nope, that shouldn't be an issue based on data points we've seen. There's certainly no downside to applying and trying, at least. Please report back on your experience if you don't mind, because data points are always helpful.
My partner applied 5 days ago and we've heard nothing. It's a legitimate LLC incorporated several years ago, so not sure what the problem is but I wonder if they have been inundated because of the OMAAT promo and they are looking for reasons to deny? Weird. They say it can take up to 7 business days, so we'll see but I sort of thought we'd sail through. We usually do on business applications. We used a personal email so that may be the problem.
It took me 10 days to get a reply and then they refused the app because it wasn't a business they supported. (real estate brokerage, incorporated).
How long do new cardmembers have to meet the first $1,000 in spend for the 80,000 points?
I just got approved for Brex Cash. Do I link my bank account to Brex? Will they send the virtual card number? Will it accrue 2.9% credit card charge? I am trying to avoid the CC charge while paying college tuition. Thank you!
Just got instantly approved. Process was easy and took just a minute. I capped everything so hopefully the 80K bonus will post as advertised. Thanks Ben!
@ Ben -- Applied 42 hours ago. Crickets. I expect we won't be approved since we are a tech company. Whatever...
@ felim -- If you own/control a US Company, then your location/nationality does not matter. The Company has to be US-based (and registered) though.
@ ABS -- I would do it in the first 3 months, so that it stacks with the additional 10k points you can get for spending $3k.
@ Agnes -- Good questions! You can link your bank account or otherwise transfer funds in. There's a button in your account to activate/create your virtual card. Yes, the Brex Rewards card is a Mastercard, and would be treated as a credit card when you use it.
Applied a week ago and no response so far? Why it’s taking that long to get a decision?!
I applied with a legitimate LLC, in business for 15 years, a week ago. Still shows as ‘processing information’. Not that I care much either way but they are a little slow. Maybe just overwhelmed by sudden spike in applications?
@ SamOH @ FE -- Because Brex doesn't pull your personal credit, they use other business records to process approvals. If your business doesn't have a large "presence" for the automated system to evaluate, it will be reviewed manually, which does take a little longer. They are getting a ton of applications from this, and assure us they are trying to get through them as quickly as possible.
@ Jon -- If your company is properly formed (e.g., not a Sole Prop), and not in a restricted industry (e.g. gambling, weed, etc.), then do you mind forwarding that email to me and I’ll escalate it to Brex? We should at least be able to get you an explanation (and ideally a fix) because that doesn't sound correct.
They got back to me within a day and asked me for a re-send on my passport and to set up 2 factor verification. I assume I am done since I received a welcome email and a promise to send a physical card in6 days or so. Thanks, this will be helpful with International wires (Chase charges a fortune) not to mention the miles.
@Ben do you have a refreshed view on this for 2024 offers? Curious to know if these are still available or if now more robust.
