Those Of You Who Have a Mercury MasterCard How Do You Like It?

I received a pre approval for this card and was wondering if it's a good company to deal with. I'm pretty spoiled with my Discover and Citi cards as they have been excellent companies for me. I might want to do a balance transfer with it because my Capital One card has no rewards and will never be upgraded or provide a CLI. Then I could close CapOne. Do you like your Mercury card? What bureau did they pull?

I have had the mercury card since may. the interest is high. it gives 1 percent cash back and zero af.

I like the card because i am rebuilding and the sl wasnt bad.

before you go crazy looking for another card call discover because they have been giving people zero bt offers.

the mercury mastercard doesnt give bt's right away, at the 4th or 5th month you will see a pop up with a bt offer. their bt is 9.9 interest.

Had mine for about 8 months now. Got a SL of $3k. As already said, the card offers a 1% cash back that can only be redeemed in increments of 1000 points which is essentially $10. Payments post to the account next business day so no extended holds. Free monthly Transunion FICO 8 scores. Haven't gotten any CLI. Minimalist mobile app UI. Overall I have no complaints, though I don't think I've ever had to contact their customer service.
