    Default Anyone using Amazon Business? Do they report to D&B?

    Got an email from Amazon advertising Amazon Business. I called them to ask if they offer Net 30 billing and ask if they report to Experian and Dun & Bradstreet. The answers I got were not as concrete as I would have liked. It sounds like they do offer some sort of 30-day billing, and the guy said that everyone reports to the credit agencies. I'm under the impression that when it comes to business credit reporting, MOST businesses are not actively reporting. Anyone using Amazon Business and know if they report?

    The only company that I can think of that offers Net 30 and reports is Quill.com, and maybe Uline. Anyone know of any other large companies that actively report business credit?

    Some of my big vendors both report to and reference D&B...

    Trying to build credit or avoid ruining it ?

    ETA: I think the chances though are pretty slim. Amazon's data > D&B's. Why would they spend the time?
    ETA 2: Highly likely to somewhat require you to sign for the business obligation if they do have terms, which I highly doubt they even offer that, but you never know. They like to push CCs

    You don't need a Dunn and Bradstreet number to do business with Amazon.

    I've seen it required by Government, but that is because they are communist assholes.

    I started trying to build business credit a few years ago, but I've been slacking and I can hardly ever justify ordering from Quill. I got a credit card, but the limit is so low that I can't even use it for it's intended purpose. I forgot how it feels to have no credit. I tried to get my business credit card company to increase my limit by $500-$1,000, and because I'd had the card for less than two years, they wouldn't do it, even temporarily. On my personal lines of credit, I went through a period of about two years where I would just double the amount of credit every six months and they never blinked an eye. Such a difference.

    See above, the point is to build credit. I don't really need credit at all, I just want it.

    Dunn and Bradstreet are not credit reporting, by the way... they are more of just identifying a business.

    Experian, Transunion, Equifax, are the Credit reporters.

    The best way to build credit, other than being responsible for the loans you take on, is to ask one of the credit bureaus to help you monitor your credit.

    I started paying Transunion $10/month, and my credit shot up.
