First update. Just received the card which is visually appealing without being flashy, a good fit for me. Approval was based on EX Fico 09 (762) and supplemented with EX V3 (661). With the $5k approval with high inq's they obviously relied more on Fico than fako.
Activation went without a hitch. Immediately made an online payment which also went smoothly with an instantaneous push alert notifying me of the purchase. The app is no frills, quick, and very easy to navigate.
So far, so good. Here's hoping payments go as smoothly.
