RECEIVED PRE APPROVAL MAIL OFFER
Credit Karma Member

I received a pre approval mail offer, was going to toss it and changed my mind, can't remember what my score was at the time maybe high 500, was approved with low $500 CL, I have had the card for about 9 months no credit limit increase.. customer service is not the best and yes it is a US BASSED CUSTOMER SERVICE... again not the best, but the online payment is easy to set up

Rip off
Credit Karma Member

Company is dishonest. I have a credit score of over 800 and they said existing purchases APR will not change and it hiked up one point. Called them and they said I was misinformed and refused to lower it despite my excellent history. They are a fraud. Do not join.

Drops your credit limit a ridiculous amount if you don't use card often. Were not talking a 500 dollar drop....we're talking 4,000 to 5,000 dollar drop. And right before holidays. Tsk tsk tsk. Bad card.

Also a victim
Credit Karma Member

We all can't be wrong. Story after story of adverse action. I was also a victim of it. Lowered by limit from $4,000 to $600. Haven't used it since. They said they sent a letter, I did not receive one.

Avoid at all costs
Credit Karma Member

This card and this bank are so horrible that I would pay to be able to rate them at zero stars instead of one star. My experience has been fradulaent interest charges on (O%) balance charges..they grudgingly admitted to it. The real story here is that they process the transfer immediately to charge you their 4% charge and bogus interest charges but then take a MONTH or more to pay off the first bank, after they already charge you fees and take up credit with the transfer. I have done two other bank transfers(Barclays and BAC) and in both cases within three days they added the transferred money to my balance while paying off bank #1. This bank has the worst rating on this site for good reason.

Stay away from this bank they offer you 10000 bonus point after expending certain amount in the first three months and they don't give you anything. Not only that they give you a good credit limit,then raise it and after a few months take it away for no reason and let you with just a very low credit limit . I have to close the account because customer service they can't give you a good explanation.

DO NOT TRUST THIS CORRUPT BANK!!!
Credit Karma Member

DO NOT TRUST THIS BANK After being approved for $5000 0% Balance Transfer Card for 12 months, I was searching their user account page to setup auto pay and couldn't find it. I called customer service and spoke with a rather rude representative who told me they've got to mail a form which I've got to sign and return to them so they can setup auto pay for me. I asked, why is it such a process to setup auto pay? Is your bank attempting to have your clients forget to pay one time in an effort to penalize them and raise their 0% to 27% for missing a payment accidentally? Regardless, I received, signed and returned the form and auto pay was set up. Upon the second auto payment, their system failed and didn't make the payment. They charged me a late fee and were in the process of raising the interest rate. I called and argued with them and won the argument. They deleted the late fee and reset the interest rate to 0%. I specifically monitored that cards payments for the entire 12 months and paid the cards $5000 in full before the 12 month expiration. I just received a letter from Fifth Third Bank stating they were lowering my available credit from $5000 to $500 for numerous erroneous reasons. It appears this bank was vindictive towards me because I used the 0%, paid it in full by the end of the 12 months and now by lowering the available limit by 90%, they are deliberately attempting to damage my credit score. In my case, they can't because I've got a ton of fantastic credit. But, in return, I'm definitely wanting to hurt them financially by writing this honest review and telling all of you to stay away from this corrupt, untrustworthy bank.

Great card and bank.
Credit Karma Member

I really don't know what to say to all the people who complain about the bank or getting their cl lowered. I have had this card for a year now and never had a problem with the card or the bank. My payments post in 2 to 3 days and never had a problem.
