Good Card
1 year agoPay your minimum or more each month and your score will slowly rise. They charge $40 a month for late payments so watch out. I have my payment on auto-draft so I'm not late.
Do not
2 years agoRun run run run do not get this card. You will not get an increase in your limit. They don’t tell you this. Unfortunately I canceled this card on the day that I had to pay the annual fee and they wouldn’t even waive it do not get this card
Great to help build credit
3 years agoI got this card right after I was getting out of financial trouble. Paying my bill off every month and it's helping my credit slowly. Discipline yourself and your score will continue to rise.
First progress card
4 years agoThis was the first card I got to build my credit. the company will never increase your limit, and the monthly fees are too expensive, so you’re pretty much stuck with this card for life if you don’t mind your credit score to drop.
Very informative!
6 years agoThis website has been an eye opener for me. They really walk you through the process of rebuilding your credit up. I think only the serious people seeking to rebuild there credibility for life should apply, and be able to be apart of all the information and help Credit Sesame is willing to contribute. Thanks for sharing, Dorothy Guccione
rebuilding credit all over again
