I got this card about 6 months ago and never used it. I believe my score was around a 545. It did report the $400 credit limit to all three credit breaus. I haven't had a credit limit increase, probably because I haven't bought anything from them. I would say it's a good card to get reporting for you if you don't have perfect credit. Looking at their site, some stuff is overpriced but not everything, there is some stuff that's listed at the same price on amazon. Also if you are worried about the comments about stuff falling apart, they do have lots of name brand stuff on their site. Name brand companies aren't likely to let you down since they have a reputation to uphold. I'm buying a humidifier today, hopefully this will give me the payment history they want to finally give me a credit limit increase. I guess I should have bought something sooner.

I have had a Fingerhut card for several years. I was going to use it to make a purchase online and when I got to the end it would not accept my Fingerhut credit card number. Called the 800 number and sales person took my order and then told me I have no account with them and would have to apply. Funny because I was holding the card. I told him to cancel the order and have never tried to deal with them since. To this day the account shows on any of my credit reports with a zero balance.

I got credit through fingerhut years ago and I'll confirm that if you don't buy anything from them you won't get an increase in your credit. All in all it's a good account, regulary reports which is all I need. It did eventually report for me even without buying anything at first. I actually forgot I even applied for this card until it showed up on my credit report as an active revolving account, what a great supprise!
