Difference in the First PRemier Cards

IS there any difference with the first premier cards? IT seems everything is the same except the image on the card?

The difference- one is junk and the other is JUNK. Stay away fron them at all costs- you will be paying fees for a low liit card that will probally not grow. Follow my advice in this thread:

Re: Difference in the First PRemier Cards

I got a "pre-approval" notice in the mail for this card a few weeks ago.  Just look at the fine print! Smiley Surprised

Available Credit and Cash Advance Limitations: The initial minimum credit limit will be at least $250.00 and the following fees will be billed to your first statement: Account Set-Up Fee of $29.00, the Program Fee of $95.00, the Annual Fee of $48.00, the Additional Card Fee of $20.00 per card (if applicable) and Monthly Servicing Fee of $7.00. These fees will reduce your available credit until they are paid. If you are assigned the minimum credit limit of $250.00 your initial available credit will be $71.00 ($51.00 if you select the additional card option).

Ridiculous!

I used to have First Premier and I realized that after all the fees they take out you don't have much left for yourself. Be leary of those credit cards that make you pay a fee as well in order to receive your card as well.

Re: Difference in the First PRemier Cards

piling on excessive fees on the front end of a cc will soon be illegal.  somebody had to stop them.  there are almost always better options to pursue as moondog indicates.
