Re: First Savings Bank

Have them... hate them... didn't know they were sub-prime when I applied and should have cancelled when I saw the credit limit.  Talked to them and they said they would raise it after 6 months -- didn't happen even though I paid religously.  Oh, and you are limited to 2 payments per month so even if you have such a low limit and want to "free up some air", you can't just keep paying it off throughout the month like Cap1.

Re: First Savings Bank

Oh wow ... Now that is crazy to limit how many times you can pay! Sooo glad I inquired about them before even considering their offer. You have to get rid of them as soon as you can because there are much better cards out there.
