I noticed there are a few positive reviews and a lot of negative reviews and I want everybody to understand that when it comes to applying for a credit card they want to see responsible spending if you spend over 30% of your income you need to make more of an effort to make more of a payment instead of minimum payment you make a double payment they want to see that you can regularly make payments and pay down extra from what you spent. I would not suggest paying the credit card completely off because that does not show your responsibility and I definitely would not suggest canceling the credit card because that will lower your credit score even more make your regular payments make extra payments and show them over a period of 6 to 12 months that you can be responsible and they will approve you for a line of credit increase they will not close your account I think people just need to educate themselves a little bit more on how credit cards work so please do not just take the negative advice on its word and do your research because having this credit card has increased my credit score by almost 75 points in just the past 6 months.

Total Bull
Credit Karma Member

My credit score is almost to 700 on Credit Karma so I applied for the Care Credit Card so I could get some dental work done. When I applied they didn't approve me for the amount I needed so I decided not to get the card. Then I get a letter in the mail saying my credit score was 551 and that's why I wasn't approved for the amount I wanted. Like what?! Why is my score SO different on Credit Karma?????

Awful platform and customer service
Credit Karma Member

After receiving a new card they can't add it to my existing account and are asking to create a new user and password. REALLY? The last thing people need in this world is to have more usernames and passwords

INCOMPETENT CUSTOMER SERVICE
Credit Karma Member

I called on 4/25/23 to change my due date with Care Credit. the customer service rep I talked to could barely speak English and the entire call was frustrating. She told me I didn't need to make a May payment since I was changing my due date. I questioned her several times, asking her, are you sure? I don't have a May payment, because I was ready to make the payment but still needed the due date to change. Her answer, no. You do not have a May payment. I called today 5/23/23, I was charged a $41.00 late fee and I did in fact owe for May. I knew I should have called back and spoke to someone else. I spoke to the Manager, Chris - he did remove the late fee. I will pay this card off and never use it again.

Synchrony Bank Care Credit
Credit Karma Member

I was paying double payments every month, then I noticed an unexpected balloon payment of over $1500 dollars that significantly made my pay balance high due to an expired promotion. They also charge $99.00 interest charge per month until your balance is paid in full. What type of rip off credit card is this? Once I pay them off, I will never deal with them again!

TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE
Credit Karma Member

I've been trying to figure out what promotional balance was over, but it's impossible because they do not show you on the app. What they do is continue to carry that balance over and charge you interest for it. I have made almost $400 worth of payments on an $800 balance in the last week. The first time I called, I asked them to apply the $160 to the promotional credit that expired - they said they did and that the remaining balance for that promotion was around $76. So I paid the $76 and an additional $160. When I called today to ask them to apply the $76 to the left over balance, I found out they never applied the first $160. Then I asked them to apply the $76 so I can be done with that expired promotion, and they told me it wasn't fully paid off. Then apparently I get everything settled. I look at the account and everything changed again, but the total doesn't make sense. I reach out through the chat app and it took me 3 hours to get absolutely nowhere with someone named Dia. I have NEVER had this much issues trying to pay someone. I will NEVER open a care credit account, again, and I will be closing this one within the next two weeks, after it's paid in full.

Avoid at all cost
Credit Karma Member

Account opened in Sep 19 for 7k for the purpose of dental work. It was paid perfectly on time and was quickly obvious that the payments were amortized. The principal balance moved very little despite paying extra most months. The moment I paid it down to 20% they reduced my available limit by 80% which dropped my credit score by 60 points. They sent the generic letter citing a review of my credit is what resulted in the available credit. This company is a farce and I will be finished with them in 2 months. Stay away, far away!

Takes Advantage of People in Their Time of Need
Credit Karma Member

This is a classic example of a credit company that takes advantage of people at their most desperate time. You apply at a time when you need money for medical care. These are big expenses and many need help at the time. They don't tell you about the whammy interest payment that you will get if you don't pay the balance down. So BEWARE, you must pay it down in a year or you will be back to square 1. I paid down 1/2 and then the big 30% interest payment was charged and I was starting over.

Closed account
Credit Karma Member

I have had this card since 2013 with 100% on time payments. I changed bank accounts and my auto pay was on the old account. I never got notified that my payment didn’t make it. They immediately closed my account without notice. I realized the payment wasn’t made so I immediately paid on 3/2. They said they closed my account on February 19. My payment was due February 14. Not even 30 days. Their customer service is a nightmare to deal with and they would not help me fix this problem and just said once an account is closed there is nothing they can do.

Account closed without warning
Credit Karma Member

When it works its amazing and a tremendous blessing. They increased my line when I was in dire straights. Recently the account closed with absolutely no warning. Credit Karma sent me an email to let me know it was closed. When I called they said the card expired and they couldn't reissue it because of my credit score. She wouldn't confirm if there was a threshold or why no notice was given. I have good credit so I'm unsure why I "don't qualify" My parents have this card in case of emergency, so I am so grateful CREDIT KARMA let me know this card wouldn't work if they needed it.

Card owner for almost 2 years with good payment history and never 30 days past-due.They took half of my available credit without any concerning cause of non payment to do so. Then shortly later my account was closed with no notice, just happened to look on my Credit Karma and noticed the account was closed. Will not recommend this card to anyone.
