this is a trap card if you pay on time and they can't make money off of you. They will cancel the card and give you no reason. So if you're responsible this isn't your card if you pay half your bill a month this was made for you....20% interest

not worth it
1 year ago

Don't bother with this card. it is easy to get the high limit. Had a 4500 limit and after 6 or so months of paying the card on time ( and quick note: they take out interest for every payment you make which I must have not read in the initial starter packet ) the lowered my limit to what I owe. so yeah this card is not worth it but if you do decide please make sure and read everything they send you .

Don't waste your time, worthless card.

I 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 year ago

i 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
1 year ago

A 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
1 year ago

I 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
1 year ago

I 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

Upgrade 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.
