Card does what it says

Credit Karma Member, Verified cardholder


I’ve had this card a little over 6 months now. It’s done exactly what it’s advertised. My credit line was doubled after 6 months of ON TIME payments, and it reports to all 3 credit bureaus.

Hope your card is never stolen

Credit Karma Member, Verified cardholder


Cerulean card services has been made aware that my card was stolen and someone attempted to use it to make a very large purchase. The purchase was approved for $932.49 and within an hour of this transaction I called them immediately to inform them of the incident because I was unaware that my card was not in my possession. I was told I would not be held liable for unauthorized transactions. However, almost 20 days later the charges has not yet been removed from my account and I’m getting the runaround and incomplete answers from any customer rep. I speak to. At first, I was told a credit would be issued to my account and then investigation will be launched. No credit was issued to my account the day off or a week off the report. When I called back, I was told it can take up to 3-10 days. Before an investigator is assigned to the claim and no credit would be issued until someone is on the case. Then, over 10 days later, I’ve reached out yet again and I’m being told it can take 3 to 4 weeks before an investigator is assigned or anything is done about it. And now after calling again to follow up, I’m being told there’s no actual time estimate to when an investigation will be completed or any funds credited. Meanwhile, this charge and utilization is being reported to my credit bureau and dropping my score. It doesn’t seem like this company intends to follow through with any promises made to me. With every phone call and long hold time, my only resolution is that “your complaint has been notated and there’s nothing else we can do.” My biggest concern is after enough time goes by if the company tries to hold me liable for the transaction, there’s now very little proof I could dig up or get to clear my name. They’re letting all this time go by and it really is concerning and seems very shady. I am writing the Better Business Bureau to try and look into this matter further to see if there’s any other channels, I can use to get results for a more conclusive answer.
