    <description>&lt;P&gt;So, I’m pretty sure that this post won’t matter much, since this entire thread seems to be about nothing other than venting and complaining about how Square is disappointing everyone. &amp;nbsp;But I’ll give it a try… again. &amp;nbsp;I’m not going to say anything I haven’t said before, but what the heck. &amp;nbsp;Maybe one person will read it and actually have a light bulb go off! &amp;nbsp;LOL&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Tuesday, I got an offer. &amp;nbsp;My current loan was at 70% paid at that time. &amp;nbsp;Here are a few things about my business:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;UL&gt;&lt;LI&gt;My new offer is 30% higher than my current loan.&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Business &lt;STRONG&gt;is up 35% over&lt;/STRONG&gt; this time last year.&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;My card processing volume &lt;STRONG&gt;is up 41%&lt;/STRONG&gt; over this time last year.&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Ratio of card sales to total sales = 80%&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Length of time to pay 70% of my current loan = 8-1/2 months.&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;I am seasonal, so actual time to pay 70% of my current loan was &lt;STRONG&gt;about 4 months&lt;/STRONG&gt;, give or take a few days. &amp;nbsp;Obviously, during my off season I paid my minimums in full, and on time.&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;None of this matters to me since my policy is never to take a new loan until my current one is paid in full. &amp;nbsp;This is because I do not want to pay a fee on top of the fee I’ve already incurred with my current loan. &amp;nbsp;If I take a new loan early, I will be paying higher fees than if I wait. &amp;nbsp;Paying higher fees for money I’ve already spent is ludicrous.&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/UL&gt;&lt;P&gt;I know of two other people who have received loan offers under similar circumstances, a few whose new offers were delayed and lower, and a couple of others who have not received any offers at all after paying off their previous loans entirely months ago. &amp;nbsp;Since they are all friends, I know their situations and that has allowed me to make a few conclusions.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;OL&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Square doesn’t say this, but it seems very obvious — If card processing volume is not &lt;EM&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;significantly&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/EM&gt; up, then it seems obvious that new loan offers will not go up.&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;In fact, &lt;STRONG&gt;flat card (or barely growing) volume seems to be a red-flag&lt;/STRONG&gt; that indicates that the business is not growing and possibly in distress enough that a lower new loan offer is warranted.&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Sellers with high cash volume (which Square can’t count since they can’t count on that money, ever) seem to be received lower (or even no) new offers. &amp;nbsp;How high is high? &amp;nbsp;I don’t know. &amp;nbsp;But before the pandemic I was a 50-50 cash-to-card business and my offers were always both low and slow. &amp;nbsp;It wasn’t until my card volume got up to at least 70% of total sales that my offers really increased.&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Extra payments don’t seem to move the meter at all. &amp;nbsp;I know one person who has done that religiously when his cash sales were really up. &amp;nbsp;While it helps him stay on top of his payments, Square can not count on him always doing that, nor should they. &amp;nbsp;They rely entirely on card sales volume. &amp;nbsp;He understands this because we’ve talked about it a lot.&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Lastly, none of this is a surprise. &amp;nbsp;The lending market, especially for sweet repayment deals like Square offers, is dried up and hunkering down in fear. &amp;nbsp;Every lender is watching the market indicators in fear that a recession is coming and that it won’t be pretty. &amp;nbsp;Thankfully, our idiot politicians did their bare minimum jobs and didn’t make things worse, but things are still not looking good for lenders who have lots of questionable loans, right now. &amp;nbsp;The market looks a lot like it did just after the pandemic fears started ramping up, and we all know how that turned out.&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/OL&gt;&lt;P&gt;Good luck, everyone. &amp;nbsp;If you find greener pastures for quick money, then good for you. &amp;nbsp;Given what I read every day in the financial journals, there is not much of that anywhere. &amp;nbsp;I hope you all make it through, whether or not you get a satisfying loan offer.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Anyone get new loan offers recently? I know square/block had a HUGE stake in crypto; wondering if that has affected anything like square loans. Paid off my 4th loan and all my qualifiers are marked as "GOOD" .&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I received an offer two weeks ago at 90%ish paid off and two of my friends that have different types of businesses received offers recently.&amp;nbsp; So I know the offers are out there.&amp;nbsp; My offer was half of what my last loan was that I took last year.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Just a note all three of us do our checking/savings with Square now so not sure if that helps.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I haven't received any new loan offers this year. I'm currently at 70% repayment. Usually I'd get a new offer between 60-70% percent. I've read in the forums that this (2023) year the offers are hitting a littler later in the percentage and without the massive increment we are use to. These loans have been so helpful, I really hope they don't slow them down, but I totally understand if they do with everything that happened recently in the tech sector. &lt;span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":confused_face:"&gt;😕&lt;/span&gt; I'll keep this tread updated if anything changes on my end. Happy 2023 and continued success guys!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I’m on my 4th or 5th loan with them as well as my largest. 76% paid since Oct 2022 &amp;amp; no new offers. I have never waited this long either. Hopefully something comes up soon&lt;span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":grimacing_face:"&gt;😬&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Yes, I got an offer and accepted it in January. I have completed multiple loans with Square. This time, due to what must be a rather short time period that the numbers are based on, my offers went from $26K to zero, to $25K over the course of less than two weeks.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;square loans are a trap.... get something from American Express (kabbage) small business, they don't charge you based on what you process for the day.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I received my most recent Loan from Square in February. I believe it was at 75% or so payment of the last loan when the offer came in.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;It was literally when I was in a crunch for cash which was nice, so hang in there and if you need a loan it will hopefully come through in time. It's still better than the offers not coming from the bank LOL&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;We love Square Capital! It may not work for you, but has been a perfect addition for our business. We've had 6-7 loans with no issues.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Can you explain how they are a trap? They're extremely up-front with the amount they'll give you, the amount you'll repay, the percentage you'll repay per day, the % they're making, originating fees, etc. There is literally no trap when it comes to them compared to traditional lenders that charge interest and thus you end up not knowing the total cost of said loan.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;As far as loan amounts and "interest/profit on Square's part" I find it more than fair considering many of us aren't able to qualify for traditional financing.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Banks don't lend without significant credit history or business length and they're just as predatory to those they actually loan to.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;In a perfect world I wouldn't need a Square loan but they've provided an invaluable resource when I've needed financing the most.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I FINALLY got an offer today for $2k less than the one before and my sales have been 2-3x what they were before for the past 4 months. Doesn’t make sense&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
