Don't waste your time, worthless card.
3 weeks agoI had the card for a few months & they offered me a better card, & gave me a $100 promo credit which was applied to avail credit. I was never late & still not able to use the card or benefit from the $100 credit. I received a email that said my card was unavailable withdrawal/use, due to my credit dropping. I called cs & said isn't this card for people w/credit challenges? Why would you suspend a card if my score drops & then you turn around & drop the limit making my score drop. Dumb logic!
Terrible will pay off and not use again
1 month agoi got a $2000 limit then as i started paying on it they reduced my credit limit to $100 more than the balance owed. When I asked about it with there terrible CS (since I was getting increase limits on my other cards) they said it was due to my credit score dipping). I broke the card in 1/2 will payoff at the beginning of the year and leave the account with a limit and no use.
Keep it as an emergency card but be prepared
2 months agoA high credit limit is easy to get with this card but CS really needs to stop promoting this predatory company. If you take out a loan more than once/ swipe more than once and try to pay the smaller balance they apply your payment evenly so that you’ll still be making the same monthly payments. I gave 2 stars bc they report on time for monthly payments. However, if you pay off the balance in full be prepared to dispute w/ the credit bureaus 2 months after you pay. Use only for emergencies.
Worst card ever
3 months agoI was originally approved for a $4000 limit and before I could use it my credit limit dropped to $2000. When I called I was told I had recent late payments reported on my credit report. I contacted trans union and they have no record of any delinquency. I used it have been paying on it and it says I have $1100 available credit but my card has been permanently suspended. Something is wrong when I can get credit cards elsewhere. I even paid off my 5 year loan in less than a year
Strange practice
3 months agoI was approved for $10,000 and received the card. I never used it and the company kept reducing the limit until it's now $500. I still have no plans to use it and I suppose they will eventually cancel it. Although this comes in the form of a "card" it's really a loan.
Excellent Card High Limit Build Credit
4 months agoUpgrade is a great card. Generous limit for my below 650 credit score back then. Their other cards are great to. I have had Upgrade for approximately 2 years. My credit is at a 740 FICO now.
Horrible Company!
4 months agoI have 100 percent on time payment history with any company I do business with. They lower your credit limit to what is owed as you pay them. Never had anyone do that before. Would not recommend. Not a good way to treat your customers. Maybe they are having financial difficulty. Who knows?
Not impressed
4 months ago"After paying faithfully for months, they lowered my credit limit to exactly what my balance owed is. This gives the appearance that I have maxed out my card, hitting my credit score drastically. If you’re trying to keep a decent credit score, I’d recommend a different card. "
not good.
4 months agoupgrade card company should not be in business. it's business practices is nothing short if illegal. they are predatory lenders. the apr rates are charged daily and the balance are reduced all the time. customers services is non existence. very bad card and company. the feds should look into their business practices..
Very happy with card!
7 months agoI've had the card for 1 1/2 year and have had no problems with my $1,000 credit line. I mainly use it for a loan but have used it couple of times as a purchase with no problems ever. Highly recommend the card.
