Great card, best interest rate!

Credit Karma Member

In the process of rebuilding my credit, I applied for several cards. I was approved for most including this one. Reasonable credit limit ($1200) and best interest rate of them all (27.99%). Application was simple, immediate decision, quick shipping of card, and easy app. Highly recommend

Worthless

Credit Karma Member

I was approved and waited 25 days for the card to he told that they were having problems with the people making the cards. They couldn't tell me when the card would be sent at all. They didn't have a problem sending out the bill and charging me the interest for a card I hadn't even received. I cancelled the card. Ridiculous!!
