pretty good
I was really scared when i applied for this card. The reiviews i read were horrifying and it took me awhile to finally say whatever and apply. People have complained about every aspect of this card, but frankly, there all full of crap. They complain that the payment system is always down, Just download the app it works 100 percent of the time. They complain the interest is to high, well they tell you the interest before you sign. They complain they charge interest daily and not monthly, well they also tell you that on the application. They say they make an express payment but only 100 dollars goes through and they have to wait 7 days for the rest, Well if you read right below the express payment option it tells you they will make 100 available immediately but the rest could take up to 7 days. Ive heard customer service was horrible, Well they spoke english pretty well and were helpful but then again i live in nyc and im used to broken english. Also I have only had this card for 30 days and they already increased my credit by 200 dollars. My overall review is, its not the card that is bad, its the people who dont know how to read. Credit One has literally wrote out everything about what they do but people just dont seem to want to read, maybe thats why your credit is so bad you need this card. card is not so bad, Im honestly suprised im writing a positive review i was sure i was going to give this one star, but when i read everything and followed up all the complains from this thread i realized its not them who are wrong, smh.
A God Send...
I have had my Credit One Bank card for a little over 6 months and I love it. I'm trying to build my credit scores back up and not once have I had an issue. Customer service is great.
You complainers need to stop scaring the new customers that are trying to better themselves. If you have a problem keep it to yourself.
My score was 575 and got approved
It’s good for those who have poor credit but don’t want a secure card
Absolute Garbage
I received a bill of 94$ before even receiving the card. Then I called to report card lost they informed me to wait 7-10 more business days to see if i receive it. After already waiting 15 business days. Customer service miswell be a group of monkeys that read the same prompts to answer your questions. I've never had to argue with a company to cancel my account before, How is a customer supposed to cancel with they say its not possible? Your guess is good as mine... After the 4th phone call I finally got a competent person on the phone to cancel my account. I highly recomend not getting this card. it's a joke.
Extremely Aggressive Company
I applied and recieved this card as a stratagy to rebuild credit. I've watched this account like a hawk, made every payment on time keeping the credit utilization at 30% regardless of the payment amount. I always pay the bill before the due date and before the 12th (which is a few days before they report to the credit bureaus) . I'm not sure what happened, but somehow I was 4 days late this last time, I found out myself when I logged on to pay the bill. I paid $400, which was an amount that put be well under the 30% mark. I also saw that thay charged me a $25 fee and disabled the card (I wasn't using it anyway) After I made the payment, I called them to express my displeasure with their tactics. I had made a substancial payment exactly one month earlier and was confused why they were saying my payment was late. Later that day, I recieved a call from them demanding I pay a $55 minimum amount due. The person that called was was Indian, which means they don't even use Americans in America for customer service, they farm it it to India. This guy demanded that I pay $55, refused to listen to me that I had just made a $403 payment hours earlier. I demanded to speak to a supervisior, he hem and hawed around and claimed he couldn't find one and offered to refund the $25 fee, something the first guy said he was going to do but failed to do. Finally, I got the guy to admit that he saw my payment $403. He did not appoligize. This is a sh** show compnay. Just be aware if you get this card. I'm not going to use it anymore, I don't need the hassle!!!!

WORST CREDIT CARD EVER
We had 3 Credit One credit cards in our family. The reason we accepted the offer, was that their logo looks very much like Capital One, and we thought we were obtaining Capital One cards.
On our Credit One Cards, interest was charged from the date of the purchase. Large fees apply for Credit One to expedite a monthly payment. The CSR went to great lenghts to convince us to keep the cards open when we wanted to cancel. In short, the worst credit I have every had and should be AVOIDED. I do however, recommend Capital One credit cards.
People, it's real simple. Read. Look closely, and read. It's not that hard to tell the difference between "Capital" and "Credit". Read everything and don't allow yourself to be fooled. Then you won't have to come on here and post a bunch of junk telling everyone how you made a mistake and it's the fault of the credit card company. All Credit One terms and fees are explained before you even apply...if you bother to READ any of it. Post reviews, not whiny, pointless rants.
AMEN!
Worst card ever
DO NOT,I REPEAT...DO NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT GETTING THIS CARD UNLESS YOU LIKE ROLLERCOASTERS,PLEASE TAKE MY ADVISE OR YOU WILL REGRET IT, I PROMISE YOU!!!!!!
I actually LOVE rollercoasters...but, I can't say that my experiences with Credit One have ever once been comparable to a roller coaster. It's been good for me.
A rewards card for those with low credit
I got a pre-approval notice from CreditOne about a year ago, asking me to apply. After I was approved, they did not ask for any deposit from me. They did take a $75 annual fee that was deducted from my initial credit line. Now that I’ve had this card for over a year, they charge me about $8 per month for the annual fee. Also, after I made all of my payments on time for the whole first year, I got a small credit limit increase. My credit line went from its initial $300 to $450. I wasn’t expecting a credit line increase so this was a nice surprise. Another cool thing about this card is that it’s a rewards card! You get 1% cash back on gas and groceries. It’s hard to find a rewards card when you have low credit. This is one that’s easier to obtain. I also noticed that the APR is only at about 25%, which is lower than both of my other credit cards. Overall, I like this card a lot. It’s never done me wrong. I think it’s a great card for people trying to build up their credit.
Great approval odds, horrible customer s
Great if you just want to setup a bill for auto pay and build some credit history. If you're looking to use it and have access to customer service rep who can help you, go with a capital one card
I totally agree that cap one should be everyones first choice as a starter card. However credit one is a good choice for a second card. It IS one of the only cards available to people with poor credit that offers rewards and regular credit line increases. At $8 a month the annual fee really shouldn't scare anyone away.
Worse card ever!!!
If u live close to a state line, u have to call them several times to approve to use the card out of ur state. They have a monthly annual fee of $75 whatever that means. After I tired to make a cash advance they blocked my card. When i called to have it unblocked they said they had unblocked it but yet i couldn't even use the card for $1 purchase. I had to call everytime to have my card unblocked for every purchase I tired to make. Customer service was a joke. They would tell me the same thing over and over everytime I called without fixing my problem. I haven't had the card for a week and i already chopped it up. I'll be paying it off then closing the account asap!!!
