It doesn't look good.  See what others think:

I used to post my scores here. However, I'm prone to motion sickness and the ups and downs were nauseating.

I agree,

The terms are horrible, I believe worst than First Premier, if that is even possible.

Re: Discover Matrix?

This card is not a good card for building credit for several reasons. With an initial credit line of 300 after the first year you not only pay $75 annual fee but a monthly maintenance fee of $12($144 annually) whether you carry a balance or not, That is $219 that you pay to them and if they raise your credit after that you pay $30 for each $100 increment. Your choice but not for me.

Wow.....

That's just flat out wrong, trying to set a rebuilder up to fail again with those terms!
