Re: the "WORST" card you have ever had

I HATE DISCOVER, ALTHOUGH it is my first card, they pulled 2 TU, 1 EX ON THE DAY I APPLIED!! Smiley Mad

AND DISCOVER now is only for cash over.

My CreditOne is the worst card I have:  no grace period for interest on charges, $99 AF payable monthly, and CLIs for fees only.   I am closing this card next month.

Re: the "WORST" card you have ever had

My barclays apple financing card, I have been with them more than a year, always paid on time, and recently have been PIF.  

 

When I requested a CLI, they questioned me about my 2 HP's from GE as if they where anything to worry about, 2 HP's in the past 2 years!  Then they only gave me a 3k increase and acted as if they preformed a miracle when I have a 700-ish credit score. I just won't be using the card ever, I have much more generous lenders who I can spend with.    


Starting Score: EQ: 657
Current Score: EQ: 740 3/05/14 TU: 721 2/08/14 EX FAKO: 763 3/05/14
Goal Score: 800

Re: the "WORST" card you have ever had

I never had a sub-prime card so I'd go with my USAA secured, I don't really like any of USAA cards due to the fact they give low limits with terrible rewards. The secured card is worse because it never graduates, has an annual fee and no rewards.
