Review: Total VISA® Credit Card
Quick Review: The Total Visa Card is an expensive unsecured credit card for people with bad credit. Total Visa does not require applicants to place a refundable security deposit, but it does charge high fees, starting with an $89 “program fee” that’s assessed before account opening. There’s also a $75 annual fee the first year, which is replaced by a total of $123 in monthly and annual fees each year after.
What do you get in return for those non-refundable fees? A fairly low limit and a very high APR. The Total Visa Card’s credit limit is $300+ to start, and its regular APR is 34.99% – almost twice as much as the average secured credit card charges. As a result, whether you’re in the market with a secured card or an unsecured card, you should be able to do better than the Total Visa.

As a result, whether you’re in the market with a secured card or an unsecured card, you should be able to do better than the Total Visa.
Total Visa Review Highlights:
- Monthly credit-bureau reporting. The Total Visa Card reports account information to the three major credit bureaus each month. This will help you build positive credit history if you don’t miss due dates or max out your spending limit.
- Expensive fees everywhere you look. The costs begin with an $89 program fee before you even get your Total Visa Card, and they just keep on coming. You’ll get hit with a $75 annual fee upon account opening, which gets replaced by the combination of a $48 annual fee and a $6.25 monthly fee in the second year.
- Limited initial spending power. New Total Visa cardholders start with a $300 credit line, of which only $225 is immediately available given the $75 first-year fee. So you have to ask yourself if that’s enough of an emergency loan to meet your needs. After all, the whole point of using an unsecured credit card for bad credit, such as the Total Visa, is to satisfy financial obligations that you can’t afford in cash. If you don’t need extra spending power, a secured credit card will make credit building much cheaper.
- Interest packs a punch. The Total Visa Credit Card has an astronomic APR, which will quickly inflate the cost of any balance carried from month to month. For context, the average secured credit card charges only 18.20%, according to WalletHub’s latest Credit Card Landscape Report.
- Card design options. Total Visa allows you to choose a design for your card from their gallery for free. There are a handful of options, including dogs and cats, flowers, a beach scene, and an American flag design.
- Bank account required. You need a checking account to get approved for the Total Visa Credit Card. It will be used to facilitate monthly payments. This is fairly standard, but not all credit cards require a bank account.
- Better options for bad credit. Whether you need an emergency loan or just a low-cost means of building credit, you can do better than the Total Visa Credit Card. Just take a look through WalletHub’s picks for the best credit cards for people with bad credit.

How much do I initially have to pay to get the Total Visa credit card? Reply 86
Brianne Larch
@BrianneLarch
The Total Visa card initial fee is $89. And then once your account is open, you have to pay a $75 first-year fee, and $123 each year after that.
You will have to live with that if you absolutely need an unsecured card to rebuild credit. There's no way to avoid it.
An alternative would be getting a secured card, and here the Discover it Secured, Citi Secured and Capital One Secured lead the pack. None of these charge a processing fee or an annual fee for that matter. Therefore, with responsible use, you'll rebuild credit at virtually no cost.

KEYAIRA SUTTON
@keykey
You may be able to go over your Total Visa credit limit with the issuer's approval, based on your payment history and overall financial responsibility.
Going over your credit limit isn't always possible, so it's best to either budget carefully or ask for a credit limit increase, in order to avoid hitting your credit limit.

Will my Total Visa available credit go up after I pay the annual fee? Reply 66
RODNEY BENNETT
@rodneyben
You will not automatically get a credit limit increase after paying your Total Visa annual fee.
Howerver, you can ask for one, as credit limit increases may be approved after your account has been opened for six months and there have been no late payments and no over-the-limit issues.

Your Total Visa credit card limit will be $300. They may grant credit limit increases after your account has been opened for six months if it was used responsibly. They do not mention a credit limit increase fee, so it's safe to assume you won't be charged one.

The issuer imposes a $29 fee on each additional card, every year.
And should you continue to use this card for more than 12 months, you will also pay an additional $6.25 a month, or $75 annually, in servicing fees, which is hefty.

PURE EVIL! This card issuer, Bank of Missouri, is the DEVIL! If you're credit has taken a nosedive like mine did, then you have to start somewhere but this card is the worst imaginable. Discover has the BEST second chance card in existence and they treat you like a human being. DO NOT GET THIS CARD

Mar 13, 2020
Even if you don't use your card, they bill you $6.25 a month. High interest rates. Not very good customer service. Avoid this card at all costs. You will get billed high interest and lots of fees. There are better cards out there.
Feb 27, 2020
This card sucks, I would not recommend this card unless you plan on canceling it within the same year, the customer service sucks, they just had a data breach for customers using cards at Wawa‘s gas station, they didn’t send out new cards to customers, This card actually did not help my credit it helped me hurt my credit, and did I mention the customer service sucks
Jan 06, 2020
This is the worst card ever. I make two payments a month and they still charge a late fee. The rep told me it’s only considered as lowering your balance not an extra payment. I’ve never heard of this with anything I’ve paid. Paying this off and done. DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS IS ONE OF THE WORST. Zero stars
02/07/20
I'm confused. If you have a minimum payment of let's say $60 and you make two payments of $20 during one month's statement cycle, then you did not meet the minimum payment by the due date and thus, you will be hit with a late fee. It's not the number of times you pay, it's the amount you pay.
Also, if you pay the minimum amount before the due date and pay another amount before the next statement date, that second payment does not count as a payment for the following month--you are just lowering your balance of the current statement cycle. Hope this helps!… show more

I have been inpatient in the hospital and they wont wave the late fee because they already waved 2. I have documentation supporting so they just want more money. Im reporting to the consumer credit dept. Its beyond my control but do pay every month.
02/07/20
Some companies will waive a late fee once per year as a goodwill gesture. THREE late payments indicates a history of paying late. I'm so sorry you were laid up in hospital but they are under no obligation to waive fees. It appears that since they have done so in the past, three's their limit.
Nov 05, 2019
By the look of the reviews. I normally don't go by everyone reviews because everybody has different experience and some folks just be complaining because they don't want to pay etc. I have not seen 1 review that makes me feel great to pay this $89. I will be cancelling.
Sep 30, 2019
Lie, It denied me so it does not approve everyone with bad credit. It is very misleading and now I have this on my credit report going against it. Very unhappy! I just got approved by capital one instead and you do not have to have an annual fee or have to pay anything up front and my 1st payment isnt due until the end of October.
Sep 25, 2019
Stay away! $89 start up fee plus $75 dollar annual fee just for a $300 dollar limit! Hahahahahaha NEVER! You are better off getting a secured mastercard through Capital One! You pay $200 to start but that whole $200 is yours and eventually becomes refundable if you dont use it! This card is a waste of time and a joke and is just out to take advantage of desperate people with bad credit trying to rebuild credit! Such a shame!… show more

Your payments thane up 21 days to be process at Total. Even though they take the money out of your bank the same day. Rip off!!!! I will pay them off and never bam again with them! That is absolutely ridiculous! They just hold your money while they make money off your money in the form of interest.

Only ACH payments have up to a 14 day hold. If you listened to the activation prompts it would’ve told you if you make a payment by a checking or savings account it has a 14 day hold.

If you absolutely have no other options. Personally have had no issues with payments, or using the card. Just expensive, now no cli for a year and you have to pay for one. Gave the option accept these terms or your account will be closed. It will help you rebuild.

I would not get this card. If you would like to rebuild you credit. Here is a way to go. I had bad credit still have. I applied for a 200.00 dollar secured Discovery IT card. I used every month my fico score was 610. I also paid it of every month. After 7 month I got my security deposit back and my credit line got increased to whopping 2000.00. I have no annual fee so far have not paid any interest yet. I also got now two capital one CC with no annual fee. My score right now is 595. That is because i Replace the bad ones with good ones. With other word I get rid of the bad apples........… show more

I have the Discover It (non-secured) Cash Back card and I love it. I asked my college-aged students to apply to their secure card to build credit. Discover is a great card and treats you like a king. I only hope everyone else gets the opp to get their card, secured or not. Their app is outstanding! And you can pick what day to pay your bill!
May 10, 2019
Do not recommend at all. I'm sorry I ever got this card. As soon as I finish paying it off I'm closing it. You can not makeva payment as you want. 1 every 14 days. I must gave missed it in the fine print somewhere they mentiined it and made a second payment. They rejected that second payment then charged me a $27 fee for reversing it which flat out refused to reverse. I had 2 unauthorized transactuins on my card very little amounts $1 and one for 36 cents both they said I needed a police report to get a credit for. It would cost me more in gas to drive there. Customer service has inconvient hours and you email them and they tell you cant go over any account details via email. They have long hold times. The website doesn't work a lot of time. This is a horrible company.… show more
03/08/20
The 1 payment every 14 days is for Checking or saving account payments. Debit cards are only 5 days. So you have other options of payment methods.
02/22/20
So you didn't read the TOS (terms of service) and you fault them for following their own TOS? You won't file a police report because it's too far to drive and inconvenient? You don't mind that someone has access to your card? Customer service hours are inconvenient for you?
I don't mean to sound too critical but it's apparent you aren't interested in being a responsible credit card user. You are criticizing the credit card because too many things are inconvenient for you. You may not be at a point in your life where you can accept responsibility. That comes in time but seven years is a long time to wait for another opportunity to establish good credit, isn't it?… show more

I had an unauthorized charge on my account in September and tried calling them but could not get in contact with a customer representative. I finally sent the information that the automated message tells you to send, only to have them send me an affidavit to complete and have notarized. I do this and send it in. Then I receive a letter with another affidavit and more instructions for things I need to send in. I do this as well. Only to get a letter on January 2 stating that they have not received my information. I call and explain the situation the lady tells me I must submit a police report. I explain there is no police report (the charge was made in NY, I have never used the card in NY) and this is the only company that is stating this is required in connection with this charge. She then tells me I will be responsible for the charges.… show more

They are dishoy about raising your credit limit after six months. I paid this card in full every month. The 5th month, there was a payment error on their part, but I was told in the 6th month (when I applied for the increase) that even though the error was not my fault, I had to wait another six months to apply for and actually get, an increase. Poor customer service when trying to get them to take responsibility for their errors. Save your time and your money, and stay away from this card.… show more

After a bunch of start up fee of ($189), a deposit of ($300), monthly fees ($6.95 per month), and annual fees ($44.00 per year), I have cancelled the card due to one big issue...I had one fraudulent charge on the card and disputed the charge on August 27 which I noticed on the next monthly statement September 22. After 18 days the card issuer finally sent me an affidavit for the dispute. This would have been great a month after the fact and if I was informed as to what needed to be done in the meantime such as; file a police report…as the affidavit is only valid for 25 days…the police report take roughly 30 days to process so I am now stuck paying for the charge that was auto drafted out of my account. I would never recommend a sub-par company like this to any one I know and I truly hope they go under.… show more

After 8 months, I was refunded my security deposit and I also received a $1800 credit limit increase.

I first want to start this off by saying i have never wrote a review for anyone let alone for a credit card but i feel so compelled to save other from signing up i for this card that i feel obligated. THIS BY FAR IS THE WORST CREDIT CARD I HAVE EVER HAD. You can only use a payment method once a month. Let me explain you can only pay using your debit card once a month or you bank account can only be used once a month also which is crazy. But what really made me write this review is the fact that my card was comprised and i caught the first charge within a hour of them using the card. I called the card was canceled and i was issued a refund for the amount and a new card was sent out no big deal. I go to pay my bill this month mind you this transaction happened a month ago and i see that the charge was put back on my card. I call customer service and there is no longer an option to talk to some regarding disputes they want to send me out paper work to send back in to them. This is the kicker they are telling me it take 7 business days for me to get the paper work which means i need to pay out of pocket to cover the charge that was on my card. Now i understand if they called me and told me this but they never called and of course they waited until 2 days before my card reports to do this so i have to pay. Run run run please do not get this card i have other credit cards that are great but this card is like going back into the early 2000s and the rewards program is no existence.… show more

Do have to correct one of the comments on here. You can make more than one payment on your account. I made 2 in one month 5 days apart from one another. If your making a payment with your debit card, you can make it 5 days from one another and if your making it any other way, 14 days apart.

Card is a bad card. A secured card is better. Card has a 28% rate, I’ve been burned twice by being close to the limit and they charge the annual fee. Shame on me. Went over credit limit because of it and lost 18 points off my fico score. Listen to me please! Get a primor secured with the 200 minimum limit and 9.9% fixed rate. It’s the gold one.

I pay on time and in full every month.
Yet, they keep putting 14 day payment holds on my account. I never had a returned payment.
Today, I called the company and spoke to a Quinton about my account. I expressed how, I used the last of my money to pay the account off, so it would cycle at a zero balance. I checked my account on Friday and I had available credit. When I went to grab dinner, all the funds were gone. Thankfully, I had a little money on me. The customer service was uncaring. I even told them to call my bank. I talked to Quinton and he said all i could do is email a bank statement and it will be off in 5 days, 5 days! He said he would try to expediate it.
There was no explaination of why my payments have on hold. I have never missed or bounced a payment! Because of this company I have no money for the rest of the week. I have no idea what i am going to do! No one at this company cares and it\'s sad.… show more

I have had this card for a little over a year and I am very happy with it. It is doing a wonderful job at helping me rebuild my credit. I see a lot of bad reviews but I can assure you I haven\'t had any problems. If you keep an extremely low to zero balance each month, you should be good with this card because that is what I do. I make the payments manually through a checking account and I pay more than once so I never have a payment past due period! Even though there is a 21 day grace period I still do not pay late ever. I am happy to say that I got an email recently that I qualified for a credit limit increase and I followed the steps and waited to see if it increased and it did by $150 extra. It can be done if you manage it correctly as I am proof.… show more

I have the total Visa card for 13 months now . I love it . The reality is , if your credit is shot to hec you may not even qualify for a secured card such as cap one . I didn't at first because my credit score was in the 400's , due to extenuating circumstances 7 years ago out of my control . They have raised my limit last month . I pay off the whole balance , or I pay more then the minimum every month . My credit score shot up 250 points from just paying on time . But it's down slightly because I applied for some more credit . I'm looking forward to it going back up eventually . Customer service is fine .… show more

I would give it a shot as I have had no problems with this card since I have had it. Use it to only rebuild credit. DO NOT USE IT to buy gas at the pump ever. Use it sparingly and pay off what you use waaaay before due date. DO NOT PAY MINIMUM, pay more then the minimum ALWAYS! Work to carry under 15% balance every month and you will have no issues. This card is NOT an AMEX so don't act like it is, treat as a way to rebuild only and you will be fine. Once your credit grows to fair try to add a Cap 1 or other or even better get another card that is secured and will read as an "unsecured", Merrick Bank cards read as "unsecured" and you can get it the same way with a deposit. Use wisely and you will be fine.… show more

I would not waste my time with this card. U have to go in to pay for gas still. It has taken us over 2 weeks to get our refund back. We are getting the run around by these people.

I had this absolutely WORTHLESS card with a $200 dollar limit about 15 years ago. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME. Go to a major bank and apply for one of their Secured Credit cards where you can raise your credit limit by adding more to your security account. TOTAL Visa will not let you change your credit limit. SUCH A CRAPPY card!!!! STEER WAY CLEAR OF TOTAL VISA.
