Yeah it's hard to get approved with this awful card. I literally put 20 hours into getting mine. No exaggeration.
You should have put your business income being higher than $1k, but too late for that now.
Try the credit department at (866) 710-2688, between 5am and 5pm, Pacific time. Ask them specifically why you were rejected. If it's because of your $1k business income, tell them you entered the wrong thing, and tell them you thought they meant per week, not per year. But don't say that unless they tell you this was the reason it was rejected. Remind them that your credit is perfect, and you're glad to prove your identity as necessary. Tell them you are fine if the card has a low limit, but at the very least you'd like to get started with it at whatever they'll approve.
It also might be a "security" failure. That's why they denied me, which was really annoying, because there was absolutely no reason for it. I had to jump through a million hoops to prove a million things to them, before they finally issued the card. Nobody could coherently explain to me why there was a security concern in the first place. I didn't have to bullshit about anything to get approved. It was just slow and a huge hassle with a million phone calls, due to their incompetence. If it is security, ask them for the security department phone # and call them.
