Bravo Card

How is this card not talked about more on here? What am I missing?
Sounds like a **bleep** good card to me.
3% back on Groceries, restaurants and gas.
0% for 24 months -yes, 24....on BTs

Is Santander an evil bank or something? Just seems this is better than say, the marvel card and yet that one is talked about all the time and this one is rarely talked of.

I figure I have to be missing something on why nobody likes this card. Smiley Happy

Re: Bravo Card

Im sure if tydawg finds this post he'll let you know why. They are a huge bank but from what i gather are very conservative , take forever to approve you and for many the rewards dont match to what they want or expect. No real experience with their ccs but i do know the one time i tried getting a personsl loan they wanted at least a 700 just to consider. Bravo indeedSmiley Happy

Which is absolutely hilarious, considering they're the number 1 sub-prime car lender in the US. They'll back a 25%, 72 month loan on a 10 year old Hyundai with a 150% LTV, but want at least 700 for a loan? Smiley LOL

Re: Bravo Card

I think there are a few reasons why this card isn't popular:

 

1. It has a $49 AF - which makes it inferior to other cards that offer 3% on those categories (there are quite a few actually, the best is the SSFCU Power Travel Rewards that offers 3.3%, but is geography limited)

 

2. They give 3x "points", but they don't happen to mention what their points are worth or if they can be redeemed for cash or cash equivalent, anybody know?

 

3. I think a lot of people hate Santander.  I actually used to like them becuase they had a checking account where they gave you free money every month, but they stopped that last year.

Re: Bravo Card

If I remember correctly, Santander got burned when they bought a bunch of sub prime loans from Lending Club...

 

I may not remember correctly though - I'm getting old...  Smiley Wink

Re: Bravo Card

And though it's not mentioned yet i think another reason (as if those others aren't already enough) Smiley LOL is about their credit lines?
