Well I can't thank all of you on FWF enough, all your help has made all of this possible.
Link to my SoleProprietorship rolling AOR 1.0-5.0 I ended up doing 5 AORs in the last 5 months, to make up for my low credit scores, I also carry balances as well on my biz cards. Credit scores are better now, they were mid 650s when I found FWF.
Income 300,000+ TC FAKOs TU 748 Exp 699 (frozen) EQ 759 waiting for TU to show 15,000 to my merrill card, so score should rise INQs TU 0 EXP 20 EQ 1 (choppage)
Goals- As much 0% BIZ credit as possible, even if it's 0% on purchases only (Any 0% puchase card that aren't the usual, I'd love to add. I've been coming up with ways to get the money off the cards as a purchase. Also a few personal apps this time. maybe some signup bonuses. CITI 40,000 TYP funded with a credit card
I plan on copying Venturions, 2ndCore AORs and adding atleast a few more apps and removing some of the chase apps. I also plan to unfreezeing my Experian for 1 day so I can apply for my known Experian pullers. I also plan to only leaving my TU unfrozen for my Crap1 app and my USbank apps, if USbank doesn't give me the BT screen then I'll unfreeze my EQ so they can pull it. Most creditors in my area pull EQ, so if I can steer some to pull my TU (fast B*) I will.

A great number of the apps you list seem to be personal card apps, not business card apps.
If this is the "LLC" AOR... why?

I know mark, i'm going to do a few personal and *ROB* from venturion's and Secondcore's AOR and any others, i'm just so damn busy, it will take me a bit to put it together.
I lose my internet connection atleast once a day, so I saved my OP before I lost it. After spending all that time formating my current cards I didn't want to paste it to a file and possibly lose my formatting.
EDIT: Just after I posted this, I went to edit the OP. I typed it up and click update and lost my connection This crap pisses me off!

A list of lots of Biz Apps(and some personal too) from my recent Mini Biz AOR as well as Apps I plan to apply for in the future, though the Biz apps are largely from smaller banks outside the big issuers. 2. A list of lots of Apps(50/50 personal and Biz) from my December AOR, which has lots of cards you probably already have or are considering applying for. 3. SecondCor521's list of Apps from his latest AOR, that I know you mentioned but that you could probably mine for more apps if you wanted.

I really need some help with this, I'm planning on trying to run VERY HIGH volumes thru a rewards card. I don't know much about the rewards cards but understand most have dinky CAPS on the rewards you can earn.
I think Jevon knows alot about this, so your favorite AMEX cards are needed. Even if they are Charge cards! I need as many rewards cards that don't have rewards CAPs, either Cash rewards, miles or TYP.
I need a CITI AMEX with a 0% 12 month FEE or NO FEE BT offer, is there such a card? I found 2.99% YUK!
I have no idea how to put all the REWARDS together right but I guess i'll be learning soon
Also what are the best US BANK cards, now that there are no FEE BT's?
EDIT: Am3x uses 2 banks (I see) to issue their cards, Centurion bank and Am3x bank FSB. I wonder if there are more and if they are different credit bucket?

Thanks for the mention but honestly, I think you'll have to search through some lists or issuer webpages to find what you want. I was going to suggest AMEX Blue for Business as that's usually a 15 month 0% for purchases but the OP says you already have one. Also I find BOA and Cap1 are better at giving 0% purchases promos then 0% BT promos. Other than those lists that's all the info I think I have. Best of luck.

Sorry Jevon, my bad, It's DOLMAR who RACKS the heck outta rewards points.
Also I'm working on the OP and find it confusing while i'm searching and adding cards, so I put lines in between each card so it's easier to where each link ends in the editor.
I'll remove them, I still have to shuffle these things around and who knows what else.
So it's still a work in progress

Is CRAP1s limit 1 app per 45 days or 1 biz, 1 personal per 45 days?
Well thats it for tonight, what a pain!
It looks like I have to many Elan/usbank cards but in my last AOR I was able to get 1 card per biz on 1 INQ. So I'm hoping for the same type of results.
I have a few more personal than I planned on But if I got all of them, I'll CLR and close about 1/2 of them.
I need more biz cards, it seems like i'm missing some but I've been looking at it for too long.

No time at the moment but all my FAKOs jumped today for no real reason.
780(TU) 725 (exp) 771(EQ)
My Experian Fako from TC jumped 26 points and nothing changed for the last week. My TU went from 748 to 780 My EQ went from 759 to 771
Everyone should check theirs, maybe there were alot of new 30 day mortgage lates????
There might be a few other apps that would work for you.

I'm not really worried about cards with uncapped BT FEE's, I can make purchases for my business or my brothers business to get the cash.
I'm torn on wheather or not to do all the personal apps, If I get a bunch of new accounts then my AOR days are over for atleast 6 months or longer.
For anyone who is interested, listityourself.net worked WONDERFUL, I listed my Cell phone as my business phone for my LLC and my other Cell phone for my SoleP.. It took 48 hours to get it listed
I made my new MAJICJACK my home phone number, it has an answering machine with each account, and it can be forwarded.
I have a bunch of empty apartments, I can make each apartment a new business with it's own phone and business reports. I figure my BIZ AORs can earn as much as renting an apartment LMAO!!!
Anyone need a biz address? I have plenty of them
Each of my apartments brings in about 7200 per year after costs, heck 200,000 in 0% can do that without the headache of any tenants. You gotta love it!
I need all the biz cards I can get my hands on, even if it's just 0% on purchases. So keep them ideas coming!!
There is a 2/1 duplex in my area, all brick. Listed at 89,900 to 79,000 to 69,000 to 59,000 to 49,900 and now is 44,900! Damn that looks tempting. The units rent for about 500 per month. Just a thought.

I don't care about the BT fee, I have a 0% 75 fee biz card right now and there is always on offer on it for me.
I applied for my SoleP. for the us air biz card (I think) and they sent me a power rewards card, so I figure it's the power rewards card is a different credit bucket than my BofA platinum plus biz card.

I'll wait until EXP refreezes by the end of tomorrow
1 observation: I froze 4/2 until 4/3 so I was planning on doing my experian apps tomorrow then my EXP would automaticaly refreeze, but it unfroze instantly so I got my apps in on 4/2 now I have to wait until it refreezes.
I don't know if it will refreeze on 4/2 midnight or 4/3 midnight.
I'll have to see if I can figure it out.

AMEX plat. biz was an instant denied, all kinds of reasons.
your AMEX risk score is too high. your AMEX commercial risk score is too high.
Number of revolving accounts (Experian) number, type and recency of INQs (experian) length of time accounts have been established (experian)
your app was processed using OUR AMEX commercial risk scoring system bla bla bla.
Balances on Commercial account(s) are too high. Too many recently reported financial accounts with a balance. ( ya think!!!!) Total revolving utilization on revolving trades is too high. (They only got that from my SoleP.'s biz report) Your consumer credit bureau score is to low (They pulled out of their a$$ fico 720+ with 20 INQs)
I think this (AMEX plat biz card) must see my SoleProprietorships Credit lines and balances. But my next 2 am3x biz apps were deferred (starwood and Delta)
I then did Hiltonhonors (personal) and was deferred.
All deferred AMEX apps asked me if I wanted to add employee cards, after initial processing but before deferring.
I also have 2 AMEX platinum biz cards for my SoleP., So it might just be that I hit the limit of plat biz cards.

Well Discover burned me, I used a BT check and they reported a week before the statement printed
So now my 7,800 discover is reporting 7,500 balance, right in the middle of my AOR
Ironically, I was coming to find out from Win333 about his experience freezing experian as well. I read the 6 page post about freezing (search titles for Freeze) and wanted to get some real-life commentary on the freeze process and how long it takes to go into effect using the experian site to do the freeze. Its $10 in my state to freeze (TX). Thinking about freezing and applying for a couple more apps since I got a ton of experian pulls in my AOR the other day and there is only 1 new account showing on my report thus far.

After experian gets your freeze info, it's takes about 3 days to freeze. So if you overnight it, you can get it done pretty fast.
To unfreeze: It was instant and you can tell them what date to refreeze.

I know have 5 unique for each report.
Experian is unfrozen for today and tomorrow.
got the nationalcity identity protection email, I was able to sign-up for that service. It might be a duplicate soft on TU but it will be a unique on EQ.
So that gives me 5 or 6 unique on TU and 6 unique on EQ.
Days to B*: about 8 days on TU about 18 days on EQ
AMEX CLI 6K --->24.9K= 18,900 new credit AMEX SPG biz 5,000 BofA NEA personal 5K HSBC personal 9,375
HSBC- in the past only gives me 500 Credit lines, so I close them. Finally got a decent line. AMEX- I have a 12,000 BT on a 15,000 account. BofA- I have 44K BT on a 46K account and 29K 0% on a 31K account.
I didn't expect alot of new credit with these 3 creditors, It's hard to move around 200K in debt all at once.
I paid off all my CITI cards and requested to combine my old CITI biz (soleP.) with my new CITI PP bizcard, they said 24-48hrs. If that goes thru, i'll try to move my 17K personal to the citi PP biz card. If this all goes thru I'll close the accounts and apply for the same cards again.
AMEX just sent me a BT check for the new CLIed account, but I think I can run purchases thru eBay and get rewards and 0%.
Just called AMEX, there sending out an AMEX gold charge (NO INQ) 5K points 1st your annual fee waived. I'm going to shoot for about 50K per month in purchases to get the rewards.

Op updated a little, not much going on yet.
I put in for a few CLIs before this AOR started, I got a letter from chase and CITI asking to unfreeze EQ. I had frozen all 3 reports before asking for the CLIs, I guess we know who they will pull when I apply for the new accounts.
This might not work 100% of the time, but it's just 1 more tool in our belt to figure out who each creditor pulls in our city/state.
All apps complete, I blew this 1 pretty good. It took me 5 freakin hours to get thru 20 apps.
I've paid down CITI to 0 balance, that was the 1 I wanted to do 1st with my best report. I forgot to unfreeze my EQ on the 1st 4 CITI apps (UGH)!!! So no instants and I'm sure I'll get a letter to unfreeze.
After I realized my BLUNDER, I did 2 more personal CITI apps further down the list, Cash returns and PP elite. Associates bank and my 3 citi biz cards where in the 1st 4 cards with my EQ frozen.
I tried changing my address on my credit reports so I might get some instant approvals. But only Experian has updated my address correctly. This morning EQ changed my address to an address from 2 years ago (F*ers).
So within minutes of submitting the 2 CITI apps with my report unfroze, Citi was on the phone to verify some info on my credit report. 2 different phone calls???
Anyway (sigh) CRAP1 approved instantly but no limit.
Chase only did 1 pull as usual.
Overall very frustrating, this just wasn't my day for an AOR. Employees calling, stress, credit report messed up or frozen.
I think I'll have to B* before letting the CITI biz apps pull my Report, I think I can have it done in about a week. I'll pull an EQ and count my softs tonight.
I didn't really expect ANY instants since my report doesn't have my address, so it's just wait and see now.
Oh on my 2nd CITI call they asked why my phone kept cutting out (voip) so she asked if it was a cell phone. I told her it was voip, they must have been looking up my number and it didn't come back as a landline or a cell phone.
My Voip is 40 bucks for the 1st year, so they're going to have to get used to it.
Sorry to hear the woes, Win. You put a lot of planning and work into a VERY complex A-O-R. However, at least it looks like there was not much damage so you can try again soon.
BTW, my online Equifax disputes are not working as the written report in the mail claims the accounts/inquiries are not showing on my report (though they are). So, I just called and asked them about the discrepancy on two of the inquiries using the confirmation number from the mailed report as a result of the online dispute. Well, those two disappeared today!! New strategy?
Also, is the VOIP you mention MagicJack (sp?)? Why is it buggy? If I recall correctly, its because your Internet connection is buggy, right? I ask b/c I'm thinking of getting MJ myself. Thanks.

I've been trying to do to many things at once, Hired a new crew, eBay, AOR, Ex-girl back, freezing/unfreezing, the list goes on and on.
EQ disputes, Thats how Supercreditman disputes. I haven't done it that way just because I didn't know how to get around it being my INQ. So what did EQ ask about the INQ?
The phone is majic jack, I have heard it cut out before (like someone calling on call waiting) But that phone call didn't sound like that, I wonder if they just couldn't look it up as a land line or cell phone. When I use reverse look up on other phone numbers, sometimes it tells me it's a cell phone. I'm sure CITI has state of the art equipment to figure out what type of phone the number is associated with.
I have my majic jack setup on a diferent computer than i'm not using, I highly recommend it. I can now even fax from my home also, i'm thinking it's the best 40 bucks i've ever spent. Using the listyourself service along with the majicjack just makes it a home run.

Creditchecktotal is great!
It's not cheap, but I can pull reports when ever I want and multiple times a day. I only get 1 soft but the report does change if something has updated.
FNBO called to unfreeze my Experian for my CLI request, I told them I wasn't interested.
HSBC called to offer me a great deal on their "credit protector" it's only $1.35 per 100 bucks That comes out to 16.2% per year, what a rip-off!
On a 10,000 balance, thats $135.00 per month. Man the public doesn't stand a chance!
Citi PP approved for 11,000 it looks like Citi cash returns is approved but no limit yet. I had to choose 3 security questions, for each new login.

Have you pulled a hard copy of your reports directly from TU & EQ? At CB they are reporting you can pull your report with CCT up to five times a day. That EQ shows 1 soft each day but TU is showing 5 softs each day. It would be nice to get some verification on this.

I bought an EQ report (only 1 soft per day from CCT) but I haven't used my TU dispute yet, i'll try soon to see if it reports more than 1 soft daily.
Citi 5% cash rebate was approved for 15,000, that makes 2 Citi personal approval from this AOR.
Citi 5% 15,000 Citi PP elite 11,000
it looks like all my Citi CLIs were declined, go figure. So Citi won't CLI my accounts but they'll give me new accounts for 0%.
