Don't bother
2 months agoThis company had no means to make an electronic payment so I had my bank initiate the payments through bill pay. A day before a holiday I initiated a payment -- money immediately left my account. First progress held the payment and on the 6th day, posted it to my account along with a $41 late fee. Horrible people. Horrible customer service. Card was good but this was unacceptable. I canceled the card immediately. If you're going to report me as having a late payment - what's the point!
Terrible
7 months agomy credit score went way down and its so slow to take payments. plus the customer service was awful
Don’t bother
2 years agoPayments are only 2 ways 1) bill pay through your bank or 2) mail in check .. both are slow to process, potentially making you a late payment. Also any correspondence must be done through snail mail. There is no other way to contact customer service
great first card
2 years agothis card is awesome for a first card i now have 6 cards and i still use this one because it has a 9.99 apr lower than my cap1 and added 58 points right when it hit my report $49 yearly fee is definitely worth it.

Worst EVER
2 years agoIf trying to rebuild your credit, move on. This company is a joke. The only way you can pay your bill is through bank transfer (which for some reason takes 14 days with this company) or be a dinosaur and mail a check. It’s incredibly inconvenient. No pay by phone option or online pay through their website. Waste of time. Had it for two months and realized this was a company out to charge a bunch of late fees because it’s impossible to get it to them on time! Had to cancel. DID NOT HELP MY SCORE!
Good way to start
3 years agoI got this card because my Credit score was low. After a year of having this card I applied for my first major credit card and was approved. This card is a good Starter a card.
Great card
3 years agoI’m so glad you help people get out of debt by building up their credit.
Credit Card Prog is not in NY! ☹
4 years agoWhy isn't this credit card available in NY?☹
