What's Your Rating?
It has an $8 monthly fee on top of an annual fee and excruciating high interest! It will cost you over $150 a year if you don't use it, much higher if you carry a balance due to high interest.
The other first premier 2.0 card I have is higher yet! $12 monthly fee on top of $99 annual fee, thats over $200 a year again with no benefits. Thats not the worst part, these first premier cards can change there monthly and yearly fees(WHICH THEY DEFINITELY DO) whenever they want. I didn't fully understand the fees I was paying until a year ago which is completely my mistake for not reading fine print but it doesn't have to be your mistake!
Unfortunately, it was one of my very first cards so I have a lot of payment history on these gold digging, money siphoning cards.
I do not recommend these cards no matter how desperate you are. If you get any of them out of desperation, then later decide to get rid of them, you will lose payment history which is no good for your credit. For the love of God find yourself a different card!
