UWCS Pre-Approved!

I just got a pre-approval from Union Workers Credit Services. Has anyone heard of them? The card comes with a $10,000 CL and %5 APR and a $37 dollar activation fee that is credited back to your account after your 1st purchase. http://www.unionworkerscreditservices.com/

DO NOT GO WITH IT!!!

 

I got this offer as well and did research......everyone who signed up paid their $95 and bought stuff and never got their money or the stuff they ordered and never heard from these people again.

Re: UWCS Pre-Approved!

A new one on me! On their FAQs page, it says that they're not affiliated with a bank or existing instituion (something like that), which is a bit scary to me.

HSBC has the Union Plus card, which is surprisingly good, and doesn't seem as nutty as other HSBC cards. But I'm clueless on this one, sorry.

Re: UWCS Pre-Approved!

Also this is NOT a credit card...it is a catalogue card.
