Does anyone have this card and what is your opinion about this card. Is it worth to spend an inquiry on it?

It is an interesting card. What is the fico score required to get this card? What CRA do they pull CR from? What is the present acceptance or approval rate for this card for the new applications? I dont want to waste a hard not knowing the details. Please, share any info you might have on this card. Thanks....

The question is: Who accepts the card? I don't know of any businesses besides AOL or Northwest Airlines based on the article. Is it still a regional thing on the east coast, mainly Philadelphia (based on observations of their card offerings)? I know I won't be applying until I can find out who accepts the card. I really don't see it listed on their website.

Keep us posted! I'd like to see that funky card in my wallet at some point. It would be nice to have the TL even if I can't use it very often!

Hi CreditAddict, you are brave. Let us how you make out with the App once you hear from them. Also let us know what CRA's they are pulling from. Thanks.....

lol, by the sounds of it they should approve me because I can't even use the card! I'm in KY

That will be my argument for reconsideration if declined!

From what I read, I think we can use it a lot of online places like buy.com and other online places.

What the heck. I went ahead and applied online and got the message "we will notfiy you by mail". I guess it is time to wait and wait. Hope getting this card will be lot quicker than getting my Amex Oasis Card....

I called and talked to Revolution CSR about my app. He said with in 7-10 days either I'll get the card in the mail or a letter indicating the reasons why the card could not be issued. I guess waitl next 7-10 days and see what happens. He said they will do CR but not sure if it is hard or soft. I'll check my TC in the next couple of days and see if there is any hard on my cr.

I checked my 3in1 TC. Revolution card pulled a hard on my EQ for my application from last night. I guess I'll know in the next 7-10 days if I am approved for this card or not. Time to wait and see. Even once I get the card, hope there will be vendors to accept the card. First let us see if they approve me.
