What's Your Rating?
It's easy to get what you need from this card: pay your bill on time, don't charge more than you can actually afford, and get back to using your card for what a credit card was intended for—a short bridge to payday, not to carry a large balance for years. Unsecured debt has risk, so they have to get their money back.
A lesson that's taken me years to learn and years to get the discipline not to charge it up. I didn't have bad credit when I got this card; I was just bored one rainy day and applied. It was approved with a 5k limit.
The interest is too high and very slow at processing checks.
It seems like they process checks after the due date, even if they receive them on time, to collect late fees and interest.
