It reports as a line of credit. I'm not famiar enough with the different account types to know what effect that has on the credit report though.

It reports as a LOC, high balance, and current balance due.

If that is the case it will be a Fico hit when it reports. I can't remember the levels but paying at least 11% off right away will lessen the impact a bit and when it is payed of to a balance less than 9% or so, it should boost points depending if you have any other installment loans.
I have had an approved Upgrade Triple Cash Reward card since January of this year, but I haven't used it yet because of it's hybrid ways and the way interested is calulated.
When your make a purchase or "drawn" (as Upgrade calls it), I know that amount is converted into a loan. When the "drawn" that ffinally hits on your report, does it affect the average age or accounts?
When I first got the Upgrade card I had about $6000 report. My FICO score went down about two points but this could have been due to two new accounts. A month later it was paid in full and I got 6 points back. The utilization does not factor in with credit card utilization. Vantage scores it differently but those scores are useless as far as I'm concerned.
Congratulations on your Upgrade approval!
Congrats on the approval. 🥂
