Good
I was approved less than a month after my bankruptcy was discharged. My limit is low ($300) but because it lowered my credit utilization my ck went up 92 points.

Deceptive
They wanted 59 for an annual fee for 300. When I mentioned it she offered a discount for the first time only. I cancelled it immediately!
High apr and annual fee. Don't walk...RUN AWAY FROM THESE TYPES OF CARDS.
Their website is TERRIBLE!
I am only keeping this card, because I am trying to have on time payments through a few cards to build my credit.. But their website is HORRIBLE! When you pay a balance, it still show that you still owe for the billing cycle. It doesn't update the amount owed when a payment goes through. It still asks if you want to pay the statement balance, AFTER you have already paid it! A lot of times I go to check my payment history, because, like I said.. You just never know what's going on.. And the **** thing doesn't work! " error. can not process your request right now ". What a load of crap. Once I get my score a little bit higher, I am canceling this card FOR SURE!
Serves it's purpose
Got to rebuild. Simple as that
You'll regret even applying for this card.
Closed mine before the year was up paying $99 is 33% of your credit limit which is ridiculous. I called and asked if they could lower it since I've been an excellent customer and they could of cared less, told me no do I closed it. I applied for Capital One platinum card and was instantly approved for $2,000 credit limit and no annual fee after 5 on time payments will increase your limit. Indigo NEVER goes past $300!! Was glad to close the account with them.
bad
Used the card once paid it off it lowered my score DO NOT GET THIS CARD!!!
You are so smart, NOT. it would have happened with any card you apply for.
cancelling any credit card will lower your score. pay them off and just cut them up or hide them so you won't use them.
A $300 credit limit will not hurt your score if you close it and open another account with a higher credit limit. Why would anyone pay $99 for a $300 limit and sock drawer it? That's ridiculous.
Nobody want these high interest cards
Pretty stupid review.
Adequate for credit building
For the most part the bad reviews that I'm reading are from people who CLEARLY did not read any of the account disclosures it gives you to read before you apply and/or don't understand how credit cards work ex: if you have a $300 credit limit you can't pay them an extra $700 and make it $1,000 credit limit. Credit cards don't work that way, no credit card works that way so if that's what you're complaining about it's not really the company's fault. Yes the interest rate is crazy high, yes there is an annual fee, yes it's a low credit limit that can't be raised, yes if you're one second late for your payment you're going to get late fee. Get this card, use it responsibly, don't wait until the last minute to make payments. Oh and if you apply for the card you need to be aware that if you don't get a bill in the mail and you don't set up your online access or you can't set up your online access you are still responsible for the money you owe including the annual fee!!! This is not a scam this is how low credit limit credit rebuilding cards work. The only real complaint I have is the sometimes long hold times if you call customer service.
Does What It Is Supposed To
I never do reviews, but I have been trying so hard to raise my credit. I opened up an opensky secured credit card (its only $200) Most secured credit cards are $500. Just keep your balances low and you wont have any problems. I pay some out of every check (every 2 weeks). My credit score is around 550 for both, and I was skeptical if i should attempte and Unsecured credit card... but Credit Karma said so, good approval odds, and I was actually approved. I dont care about credit limit increases. I dont plan on using this much, the purpose is to 1 raise my limit amount, which lowers my utilization percentage, and 2 to have 1 more positive account on all 3 beaurus. Thats it. Simple. I approve!
DON'T DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Really Credit Karma....cards like this should not be on your website. People who are desperate will apply for this garbage card a get deeper into debt. How can I get a card with a balance and a ridiculous annual fee of $99.00 this card is just a trap for desperate people. Credit Karma, your better than been associated with cards like this one. I received my card today and just canceled it.
you shouldn't have cancelled it.... people waste money all the time.. you go out to dinner eat for an hour you pay $99... after an hour its all in the toilet. The only difference is... your credit wont go up.
if your options are next to non then this is the price you have to pay to start rising the credit score you crap'd on in the past. Credit Cards are used to spend wisely. If you don't have the money don't swipe the card, just keep it open and your credit score will go up with an annual fee of $99.. Try Capital One, I pay off my balances every month and there are no annual fees. I don't even get charged interest because it only occurs for the amount that you spent and didn't pay off when the due date arrived.
