Review: NASCAR Credit Card
The Credit One Bank® NASCAR® Credit Card is an unsecured rewards credit card for people with bad credit or limited credit. It offers a starting credit limit of $300 in return for an annual fee that could be $39 - $99, depending on creditworthiness. However, any balance that you carry from month to month with the NASCAR Visa will accrue interest at a very high rate.
Perhaps the best part of the NASCAR Credit Card offer is the rewards. Cardholders earn 1% cash back in select spending categories as well as 2% back on purchases at Nascar Shop. But a lower annual fee would likely trump such rewards earnings for most people with poor credit.
All things considered, the NASCAR Credit Card is a decent option if you have bad credit and really do not want to put down a refundable security deposit to get a secured card. There simply aren’t many unsecured credit cards with even semi-low costs. Just know going in that you’ll have to pay more in the long run, relative to a secured card, for the unsecured spending power now.
If you need more information before making a decision, you can learn more about the NASCAR Visa Card’s strengths and weaknesses below.

Just know going in that you’ll have to pay more in the long run, relative to a secured card, for the unsecured spending power now.
If you need more information before making a decision, you can learn more about the NASCAR Visa Card’s strengths and weaknesses below.
NASCAR Credit Card Review Highlights:
- $300 Minimum Credit Limit. Your initial spending power could be as low as $205, considering the annual fee, which is assessed when you open the account.
- Rewards on Select Purchases. Using the NASCAR Credit Card to make purchases at the Nascar Shop gets you 2% cash back. Other purchases categories provide 1% back, but you won’t find out exactly which ones until you’re approved for an account. The options, according to the card’s terms and conditions, are 1% back on “eligible Gas and Automotive Purchases” or 1% back on “eligible Purchases.”
- Potential for High Annual Fees. The NASCAR Visa may charge up to $95 the first year and $99 each year after. The average annual fee on a credit card is about $21, and many secured credit cards guarantee $0 annual fees.
- High APR. At 23.99% (V), the NASCAR Card’s APR makes carrying a balance from month to month cost a pretty penny. The average credit card APR is 18.04%. Still, several other unsecured credit cards for bad credit charge even higher rates than Credit One’s NASCAR Visa.
- Not Much Competition with No Deposit. Unsecured credit cards for people with poor credit are notoriously expensive. In addition to high annual fees and APRs, some charge application processing fees and monthly fees. All you get in return is a very small amount of spending power that you don’t need to pre-pay for. This is why secured credit cards, which tend to be much cheaper in the long run, are a better bet if you don’t need an emergency loan. They can help you build credit just the same.
- Much Depends on Creditworthiness. Several key aspects of the NASCAR Credit Card offer will be up in the air when you submit an application, including its annual fees and interest rate. You won’t find out the particulars until you’re approved for an account. That kind of uncertainty makes it difficult to compare credit card offers with confidence.

Your limit is disclosed when the card is issued, and can be found on the welcome materials, as well as each of your monthly statements. The maximum amount is not disclosed, but the minimum credit limit you will receive is $300. If you’re unsure of your limit, give customer service a call at 1-877-825-3242.

You won't need to pay a security deposit for the Credit One NASCAR Credit card. This card, like the Credit One Platinum, is unsecured.

@robert.stark
No, that's not possible. You'll have to wait for your card to come in the mail to find out your card number. You'll get it in the mail two weeks at most after being approved.

Can I get approved for the Nascar credit card with a bankruptcy? Reply 7votes6votes
Peter Fox
@PeterFox
It is likely to get approved for the NASCAR credit card after a bankruptcy, but it really depends on when you filed bankruptcy.
Best way to find out is to check if you prequalify. That won't affect your credit and you'll have a better picture.

How do I get a Nascar Credit Card credit limit increase? Reply 7votes2votes
James Bronzz
@jbronz
You can ask for a NASCAR Credit Card credit limit increase by calling 877-825-3242, but only if you have at least 6 months of on-time payments.
Credit One even says that accounts are automatically reviewed for credit line increase opportunities but they do not disclose how long it takes for this review to take place.

The NASCAR Credit Card is available to applicants with bad credit. A recent bankruptcy might make it tricky to get this card. But when you click "Apply now" it'll take you to their preapproval page. So you can get an idea of your odds with no harm to your credit score.

Great app lots of help with my credit improvements so can understand what needs to be fixed I don’t think it’s fair for the credit reporting agencies to just decrease my credit score for no apparent reason though

I was extremely disappointed about a situation where the coronavirus was out and I need to make a payment on my credit card to lower the balance so I would have more available credit so I could rent a car instead of driving home credit one bank said I’m only allowed to make 3 payments within a month. I needed $400 Deposit for my rental car my credit limit was $500 and my available credit was $100 at that time. So I have $400 cash I was going to pay my credit card with they said NO I’m not allowed to make a payment you’re only allowed three payments this was such an inconvenience they ended up raising my credit limit $100 I was still short $200 to get the rental car and they said sorry we can’t do anything about it mind you they charge a $9.95 fee for us to make a payment on the account so I asked him what the issue was and why they said because they don’t wanna make any more payments towards the fees and I’m like what fees are you paying in the first place I’m paying the fee to pay the bill on that this is such a hassle and such a headache that I ended up just taking the extra hundred dollars and having to take a train ride home with my kids cross country from New York to LA (thanks credit one you were such a great help for this.) “””complete sarcasm””… show more

I’m closing my account. I never really spent a lot on it. The annual fee was $75 for me. I heard it’s different for some others. You pay the first annual fee upfront. The second year it’s spread out monthly! That means they’re trying to collect interest. It’s a way to keep you in debt. Once you payoff your card, YOU MUST CALL THEM TO CANCEL! If not, they’ll bill you another annual fee! Plus, I don’t like the way how it always ask to verify my banking account. I used it three times paying off my balance. They still ask for verification before I can use my own account. I have to verify with a code sent to my email every time and verify AGAIN to use my bank account! I actually received an email indicating I could not use my bank account until I tell them the two small deposits they made in my account. So I pay the annual fee of $75, then they hold my payment option hostage until verified after I used it three times?! I’ll be fine without this card!… show more

This company is noted for screwing consumers. Credit one is infamous for extending credit far beyond the means of the consumer in an effort to maximize their profit margins. A friend of mine got caught up by these criminals and they gave him a credit line of 1,500 when his monthly income is only 1,400. He is an elderly Veteran who is on limited income and now because of them he is in danger of losing his place to live. He had no idea they were charging him $99 a year to have the card and 27.99% interest . I wish they had negative 10 star ratings on this site because that is exactly what I would give them because my friend now owes these scum more than $2,000 which he can't pay down because he doesn't have enough income. Ripping off 84 year old Veterans should be a felony and their board of directors should be facing 20 years in prison...
Don't even think of doing business with these scum or letting them anywhere near your wallet....… show more

Bad Customer Service and they mislead you on the fine print. It’s a scam because they are ripping you off by charging you an annual fee and a monthly !! Then when I tried to cancel they gave me the idea that they would close my account and wouldn’t go to collections but they did the exact opposite

I have the Credit One Card to rebuild my credit. I will not recommend this card. I received the card on June 1, 2019 and immediately received a statement for fees which I paid in full within 2 days. I used the card twice in June and paid it off a couple of days later. July arrived: no no statement, credit reporting for the credit amount, nor payments. In fact, as of today their app and website still shows my due date as 7/12/19. It also takes a week to post payments.
There is absolutely zero benefit for me having this card if they're not reporting to the credit agencies. If not for the yearly fee I've already paid, I would have cancelled the card. Instead, I placed it in my drawer and will close it in December.
Of the 5 cards that I have, this is by far the only bad one. All other cards reported in a month. Stay away!!… show more

Update to this review 2020! So CreditOne did its job for me. I kept the card a year. Since that point my score went up, as well as the credit limit. I think it was $700-$1000. I've closed the card because it did the job I needed it to. It helped me spring over to Discover IT and a couple of store cards I shop at regularly. I closed it because as I near a 700 credit score. I am able to get better offers. The card has a lot of negative reviews, but I read the card agreement and knew what I signed up for. I paid the $75 AF up front and had no monthly service fee. The second year instead of $75 up front they broke it up to a monthly wit no AF. I closed the. card because th only card I pay the AF for is my Quicksilver One @ $39/yr. I do not think this card is meant to keep for years. It is a rebuilder, you rebuild and move on. Some of these reviews are absolutely ridiculous. Again, if you could apply for a card with great interest and high limits you wouldn't look for this card.
I have this card. I applied when my credit was about a 540. I was approved for 300. About 2-3 months later I was granted a credit line increase to 500. I never have issues when I use it. I use it in and out of town with ease. As for fees or the interest rate. It shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone. If you had excellent credit than you wouldn’t have applied for the card. My payments post easy. It takes about two days to clear. The only thing I don’t like is that you can’t schedule payments in advance. Like I have to long in to make the payment, instead of scheduling them for the month on my pay day. No complaints!… show more
