Question regarding the capital loansโ€ฆ myself and countless others are confused as we paid previous loans off early but never received another offer for funding even with an increase in sales. 

also I believe there to be a problem with the square card ordering system. I have ordered 3 and never received any of them.

It doesn't make since to me why we were eligible 8 times in a row with way larger loans then our most recent one like 10 times larger not to mention that we paid of not 1 but 2 loans during the pandemic so why were we not eligible this time around and please don't tell me that its the algorithm that decides because if that were the case then we would still be eligible please we have been nothing but loyal to square so pkease don't tell me that its a computer that decides or that the algorithm requirements where not meet.
