LOL - sounds legit! 

 

All jokes aside - whats the difference between Credit One and Fortiva?

 

 I received an offer from CO and fell out of my chair laughing. Rebuild or not they are a joke!

LOL!  Was going to say, I'm pretty sure I recently got one and threw it away after nearly busting a gut laughing and was closer to yours.  All the aforementioned fees, 35.99 or 36.99 APR, but think I had a $1000 SL on it.  Might have been $500, IDR.

Wow, got me beat there!

 

Lol, that annual fee plus monthly is equal to a security deposit on Cap One or Disco secured cards.

I wonder how they stay in business.  The only people who would take that offer are people who don't intend on paying once their bill hits.
