Credit Card Offers For Bad Credit
Joseph asks…
Which credit card is best for building up a bad credit score?
I have A LOW credit score. I am in the process of paying off debts to try to repair my credit. There are numerous credit card offers that claim guaranteed approval for a fee. Iwould like to use any tactic available to help buildmy credit. I am however affraid to fall victim to the “SCAM”. Does any one have a possitive experince or advice on the options or other techniques for rebuilding credit.
admin answers:
There are a couple of options… You can try a gas company card. They tend to be great at approving lower credit score applicants and helping them re build credit. Another is getting a secured card through your bank. A secured card is where you put down the money for the balance that you want , i.e. $300-1500 and the bank holds those funds and then issues you a credit card. You still make payments on the card if you use it just like a regular credit card. After a period of time making all of your payments on time (usually 6months – 1 1/2 year) the card will be upgraded to a normal credit card and your initial funds will be reissued to you. If you close the card or default on your payments prior to the card upgrade the card will be closed and the funds re issued to you. Another card that will approve a lower credit score is Orchard. Their website is orchardbank.com. Good Luck

How come NO ONE will give me a loan or credit card when my credit rating is 652? Is it THAT bad?
This is all so confusing…. I get declined wherever I apply for this stuff and nobody can help me and now I have all these inquiries on my report and…. UGH. Shoot me. =/
Why is it everyone else I know gets ALL kinds of credit card offers and I can’t get ONE DECENT ONE!?
admin answers:
Too many inquires can make all the companies start to deny you credit. You best bet would be to wait about six months then apply again. You could also apply for a credit card with a company like first premier or orchard, you can find those card and compare them at http://creditcardwarehouseonline.com They do have some fees attached but their acceptance rate is around 85%. Then that will show at least you got accepted and might not scare the other companies off so much. Get one of those cards then apply for another in six months.
Daniel asks…
Anyone have Info on bad credit card offers? Good or Bad?
My credit is not too great and i need a credit card (unsecured) for traveling. Does anyone know if what is online is legitamite?
admin answers:
You have to read the fine print on all credit card offers.
1st make sure it is a fixed interest rate.
2nd make sure that fixed interest rate isn’t just for a promotional period.
3rd check what that interest rate is. There are some that are just a flat rate and others that are more like variable rates because they are a fixed % on top of a variable index. It can be confusing.
Try to find the lowest rate available to you. As your credit gets better look for better offers and try to get that balance on the higher rate card paid off.
I wouldn’t apply for a credit card online unless it was from a company name I am familiar with, like Chase, Bank of America, Capital One, etc. You want to be as careful as possible because you have to provide your social security number and date of birth. All very sensitive information. Good luck!
Mary asks…
Is openning and closing credit card accounts good or bad for credit history?
After few months or years I am attracted to other credit card offers, meanwhile i don’t want to have many open unused credit cards. Somewhere I heard having many open accounts hurt the credit score etc.
admin answers:
Yes opening too many can hurt your credit due to the fact that the creditors all have to pull your credit history which brings your beacon score down every time. Also most creditors look at it as though you could feesibly go out and max out every charge card you currently have opened on any given day.
Paul asks…
Why do Credit Card companies offer credit cards to people with bad credit histories??
Are they that despret for buisness?? A buddy of mine is in over $7,234 worth of debt, unpaid student loans, and recently had to file for bankrupcy. Yet these credit companies wont give up, or go away. They’re determined to keep offering him credit, do they see something special in him? I guess they’ll have to find out the hard way..
admin answers:
Because they make more money off of them. Because they are a higher risk customer, they can charge higher interest rate. The person will pay on their cc for a while, the cc will make a nice tidy profit. Eventually the person will default on their card, but often the company has already made enough off of them that they still turned a profit.

What is one way to establish your credit and one way to protect your credit? What are some things you can do to improve poor credit?
admin answers:
It is usually easier to get get credit from a store/gas station. (dont apply for too many credit cards)
The best way to build credit is pay your balance in full every month and never miss a payment.
Go to https://www.annualcreditreport.com/cra/index.jsp and get a free credit report every year. It will not give you a score but it will give you an idea of what someone pulling your credit would see. Its also a good way to see if you have an open credit card and forgot about it, or someone stole your identity and opened a card in your name.
Pay off current balances on whatever credit cards are still open. Do not carry a balance into the month.
Utilization > If there is a 1000 credit limit and you are using 900 dollars of your credit ‘allowance’ that looks bad. Using under 30% of available credit is good.
Applying for too many credit cards can hurt your credit score. If you apply to one or two in a month wait at least 3-4 months before applying to other cards.
If you have a credit card, use it. If you dont use a credit card at all and make no payments it does not help at all.
Its also important to have some emergency savings for 3-6months of bills in-case bad stuff happens (you get fired, car blows up, you fall down some stairs, ETC) Rainy days do happen, expect them.
I have also read that having a savings and checking account can make it easier to get accepted for a credit card.
Lizzie asks…
How can I get my credit build up if no one will give me a credit card to begin with?
How can I get my credit build up if no one will give me a credit card to begin with? I have never had a credit card, I bought a home and I have been paying mortgage on time. Will that help my credit? I do have doctor bills on my credit report, any ideas as to how I can get rid of them without costing me a arm and leg.
admin answers:
Like the other users said, you could get a secured credit card; however, you really want to stay away from credit cards period! They are bad news; if you ever have hard times, they will pursue you relentlessly and even sue you if you can’t pay. Like someone else said, get a debit card with a VISA/Mastercard logo. There’s no need to even have a credit card if you do this. I will never have another credit card after all I’ve been through with the different companies. By the way, Capital One is the worst. They’ll give you a card easily enough, but if you ever get behind, they will not work with you and won’t settle out for a lesser amount to close the account. They also like to sue. This is how they pay for their expensive TV commercials. This is just my experience with them. Keep your life less complicated and just stay away from credit cards altogether.
Helen asks…
What credit score must you meet to get a capital one business credit card?
When applying for a Capital One Credit card you can see what credit you should have to get approved, but the business card does not have that. Does anyone know? Or do they go by your business revenue?
admin answers:
UNLESS you have been in business several years and have an established business credit record the credit is gained through your own personal credit reports.
Paul asks…
How does a credit card work and why do I have to get one?
I just turned 18 and I am trying to get my own place but they said I need to have good credit. To have good credit, they said I have to build good credit, but the only way to build good credit is to have good credit. Why is that? I was looking at credit cards and purchases become way more expensive when you buy them a credit card. So why use one? But to build credit you need to use one. Am I mistaken? Could someone explain how a credit card works please?
admin answers:
To get a good credit rating you must have obtained and used credit. There are several ways to do this but getting a secured credit card and never charging more than 1/3 of your limit and paying at least double the minimum payment every month is merely the easiest way to build credit.
Right now, to rent an apartment, you need a co-signer with good credit.
Generally it takes 2 years from when you first get a secured card and being good with it, to be considered to have any sort of credit rating.
A secured card is where you take say $500 and put it in a savings account in a bank and they freeze that amount for two years and then issue you a credit card for that amount. After the two years, if you have been responsible with the card, the account is unfrozen and you get the money back. If you have been irresponsible, they use the money in the account to pay off the card.
When I first moved to LA from Canada, I had no credit in the eyes of US banks and I had Wells Fargo freeze $1500 for 2 years to re-establish my credit in the US.
Joseph asks…
How long until I get good credit with my Capital One credit card?
I have zero credit. I have been trying to gain good credit but no one will give me a loan, Target and Walmart refused me their credit cards because I have no credit. So I got an offer from Capital One for their credit card, and they approved me! I was so excited but now I am hearing the horror stories about them. If I keep my card for a year, charge as little as possible and pay slightly over the minimum would I have enough good credit that I could cancel the card and get myself a better one?
admin answers:
That is a good plan to build credit. I do recommend (if you are going to use a credit card) paying the balance in full each month, and not carry a balance. When you carry a balance from month to month you are charged interest on the balance. I recommend never charging any more than you can pay off in full when the statement is available.
Jenny asks…
How often can one open credit cards without affecting your credit score?
I have been using rewards cards and paying off the balance for years. I have read that applying for new credit card wont affect your record if you only get one, and don’t open too many in a short period of time. Not sure what “short period of time” is . There are 3 rewards cards I have been meaning to get because of bonus/rewards, but not sure how I should space them out.
admin answers:
Generally, each time you open an account there is a small temporary drop in your score (think the 15 to 20 point range). If you have revolving debt it is possible that your score can even increase due to a drop in overall utilization ($2000 debt with $4000 total available will reflect much more poorly than $2000 debt with $7500 available). As your accounts age this temporary hit will vanish.
If you plan to apply for a mortgage, avoid opening new cards at least six months prior to that date. Avoid applying for new credit before looking into a car loan.
Existing creditors sometimes become nervous when you open numerous new accounts. If you open three new accounts at once this can lead to potential trouble, especially if you aren’t familiar with your current creditors (they all respond differently). Provided you aren’t already dealing with a number of creditors I would suggest picking out two of your favorites, applying for them, and then going back to snatch the third about three months later. Only apply for a card you expect to use and be careful about annual fees (unless they are plenty well justified as might be the case with, say, an AmEx charge card).
The more extensive your credit profile, the more cautious you should be about opening multiple new accounts in quick succession.
Nancy asks…
How to consolidate my credit cards into one?
I have four credit cards and I want to put the amount owed all onto one credit card with a lower intrest. I also don’t have very good credit. Any help would be useful. Thanks.
The amount owed is not more than 1,500 between the four. I always pay double of what the minimum payment is.
admin answers:
First you would need to find a credit card with low interest. From there you would need a credit limit to cover the 4 debts. From there you just tranfer balances once you open the card. Problem solved.
William asks…
How does one really build a credit history in the US if you have had none?
If one obtained a secured credit card from a bank, is it true that you should not spend more than 50% of your limit? Also, that you should not pay your balance in full but only the minimum amount to “start building your credit score?”
admin answers:
Actually it is more like 30% not 50%, and you can spend more you just need to keep it below that after you make a payment. I.e you have a limit of 1000, but you charge 800$ on it. You then need to make a payment 500$ to keep it below the 30%. They will report you balance every month to the credit bureaus after your payment is due. I have heard you should keep about a 10% balance on your cards for the best results in building your credit. You want to provide a solid payment history so use it for small purchases then make the payments, I dont think making minimum payments would be good. As for credit cards to get… You can go to your bank and get a secured card (you will have to put 300$-1000 down to get one, 300 is minimum, or you can get a orchard or first premier card. These cards have some fees attached to them but you do not have to put any money down to get them.

Mandy asks…
How many Credit Cards should I have open at one time?
Right now I have 10 Credit accounts open. Ranges from $424.00 to $5200.00 with a credit score of 728.
I have $0 balance all of my cards at this time.
I just applied to get a motorcycle and they denied me saying that I have too much revolved credit open.
I rent a apt due to the high housing prices. I have yet been able to afford a house due to those circumstances.
I have a couple questions that I hope can be answered.
1. How many Cards should I have open at one time?
2. I have heard having allot of closed accounts on your credit report looks bad. T or F (Explanation Please)
3. I have heard that you should always keep a small balance on all your cards. T or F (Explanation Please)
4. Should I try and get an outside loan from a banker or lender to get a lower APR than what they are offering at the dealership?
5. Any other useful tips to help keep my credit score on the rise without accruing allot of debt?
Thanks Allot.
admin answers:
1. I have 5 or 6 credit cards, each has at least 5,000 limit. I use 3 of them regularly and pay the entire balance each month. The others I use very rarely. My credit score is around 810 and I have never been questioned about my revolved credit (I do own a home, I don’t know if that makes a difference).
2. Close some of the accounts if you want, they’ll eventually roll off. Just don’t keep opening new ones and closing old ones (that gets harder these days with ID theft and all).
3. I personally use several of my cards regularly and others I have not used in months (maybe years). I do know that a low balance-to-limit ratio is good and if you close accounts that, in affect, raises your ratio since your limit went down even though your balance did not go up. Run your balance-to-limit ratio here…
Http://creditcard.bizcalcs.com/Calculator.asp?Calc=Balance-To-Limit-Ratio
4. It’s always a good idea to check around for the lowest APR you can get.
5. 35% of your FICO score is based on paying all your bills on time. 30% is from Balance-to-Limit ratio. 15% is from the length of your credit history. 10% is from new accounts and recent “new” credit applications. And 10% is based on the mix of credit card and other loans.
Sounds you best chances for a higher FICO are improving the mix of credit card, retail cards and other loans plus getting some “new” credit like a retail card, but don’t get too much new credit all at once. Maybe you could request higher limits on some of your cards and get rid of some of the lower limit ones. That would keep your balance-to-limit ratio low while reducing the number of open accounts.
It’s all just a bit confusing. Good luck to you.

Credit Cards For No Credit
James asks…
You are considering applying for one of two credit cards. Credit card “A” has an annual fee of $?
You are considering applying for one of two credit cards. Credit card “A” has an annual fee of $30 and charges interest of 10 percent. Credit card “B” has no annual fee, but charges an interest rate of 15 percent. If you carry an average balance of $500 on your credit card, the lowest total annual expenses you could have with Credit Card “A” would be:
admin answers:
Cards with no annual fee are usually better because after you balance is paid off then you don’t have to keep paying them money. You don’t want to have to cancel a card for the sake of your credit score, so the no fee card is better. Maybe you can find a card that offers 0% interest for 6 months or a year. The fee takes away all of the benefit of the lower interest rate and may end up costing you a little more.
Carol asks…
Is there any credit cards you can get with no credit?
My Credit is really bad from long ago. I am trying to pay it off an reestablish credit. Any credit cards i could apply for? Thanks!
admin answers:
Bad credit is still better than no credit. There are many special offers for people with bad credit history. Of course, credit cards for bad credit history have fewer benefits and more limitations than credit cards for good credit. Go to http://www.rebuild-credit-cards.com/ They offer many options for bad credit or no credit.
You can apply for a secured credit card. It requires a deposit with the issuing bank. This amount, to secure a credit card, is usually only in the hundreds of dollars. It is held as collateral while the bank issues credit of some percentage of the deposited amount often 100%. In many cases, the card is reported to the credit bureaus as a normal (i.e. Unsecured ) card. This allows the cardholder to establish a positive credit history over the duration. Based on good payment history over an extended duration, some banks will then issue the customer an unsecured VISA or MasterCard.
You can find several guaranteed approval (pre-approved) credit cards for bad credit. However, your application for this kind of cards is also analyzed by banks and in some situation the approval might be denied. Consider all the requirements carefully because rejections hurt your credit score.
And, of course, start working on rebuilding your credit history. There are several approaches you can find at http://www.credit-land.com/articles/articles_page_68600_1881780_12.php
Good luck!

Can anyone tell me what the best college student credit card is? What’s usually the credit card limit for students? I’m planning to get it just in case I need it when I go to South Korea this summer.
admin answers:
HSBC has a student credit card. Usually the limit is around $500. They take into account that you might not have much of an established credit history. 1-800-975-4722 That’s their number. They are pretty good cards too. Mastercard. Accepted anywhere mastercard is accepted, worldwide too.
Paul asks…
Whats the normal APR rate for College students getting credit cards?
The guy trying to get me to get a k-state credit card said it was 17.1 which is normal is it?
admin answers:
Thats terrible! I had a credit card as soon as I turned 18, and I haven’t missed one payment. I now have 3 credit cards and I am a Sophomore in college.
My American Express for students APR is 14%
My (MasterCard) Citi Platinum Dividend for students is 13%
and my (Visa) Chase BP Gas card is 11%
Credit is a VERY important thing to have, get one for each major branch (Visa, MasterCard, AMEX) and if you are responsible, your credit score will skyrocket and you will be in good shape by graduation, and you will get good rates on loans and other things.

Getting Approved For A Credit Card Can Be Difficult
Getting approved for a credit card can be difficult without a positive credit history working in your favor. It’s a Catch-22: To obtain a credit card, you need a good credit history. But to have a good credit history, you need to establish good credit!
This no-win cycle can keep people with a non-existent, limited or negative credit history from getting approved for a credit card. But it doesn’t have to if you understand the type of credit cards available and how to build a good credit history.
When it comes to credit cards, the type of card you apply for will depend on your situation. If you’re a student, you’ll, naturally, sign up for a student card. But if you’re a non-student with a non-existent or bad credit history, a card that is secured or obtained with a co-signer may be your best option. With co-signed credit cards, the co-signer guarantees and is responsible for the debt. This means that the co-signing person is responsible for paying the full amount of the debt if the card holder doesn’t pay. In fact, when co-signed debt goes into default, three out of four times co-signers are normally asked to repay what is owed, according to the Federal Trade Commission.
Furthermore, the issuing bank can attempt to settle the debt without first trying to collect from the card holder. The bank can also use the same collection methods against the co-signing individual, including suing and garnishing wages. If the debt is not paid, it can leave a negative mark on the credit history of the co-signer, as well as the card holder.
Despite the risks, a co-signed credit card can be great tool for helping a friend or relative build their credit history so they can one day obtain a card on their own. Secured, co-signed and pre-paid credit cards offer viable options. But you should start building a strong credit history, so you can obtain a regular credit card on your own in the future.
First, you need to understand how credit card issuers determine credit worthiness. The approval criteria varies from among issuing banks, but generally relates to what’s often called the three C’s of credit: capacity, character and collateral. Capacity refers to your ability to pay based on your income and existing debt. Collateral refers to any assets you have that can secure payment, such as bank accounts or home ownership. Character refers to factors like your payment history, length of employment, etc.
To get a good idea about how your application will fare with credit card companies, check your credit history with one of the major credit reporting agencies: Experian (www.experian.com), Equifax (www.equifax.com) and TransUnion (www.tuc.com). These agencies access your payment information directly from the companies you have credit with, as well as from government agencies such as the legal court system.
Credit reporting agencies use the information in your credit history to determine your credit rating or credit score. Credit scores, also known as FICA or Beacon scores depending on the CRA, generally range from 350 to 850. Most banks will approve you for credit if your score is at least 620. If your rating is 720 or higher, banks will offer you their lowest interest rate.
Generally, y our credit score is determined by your payment history for the last two years. T echnically, CRAs calculate your score using a closely-guarded formula. TransUnion, for example, determines credit scores using a variety of factors, including: how you pay your accounts, how much you owe and how often you’ve applied for credit.

Forty Million Credit Card Numbers Stolen
CardSystems Options moronic safety efforts have resulted in the potential theft of information for 40 million credit cards. Hackers were able to install a rogue plan, probably a Trojan, in the CardSystems safety network. This program captured credit card information including the cardholder’s name, account quantity and verification code.
Prior to this incident, it processed approximately $15 billion dollars in credit card transactions each year. Little businesses were the primary users of the system.
It has become apparent CardSystems Options ought to be charged with gross negligence. The business failed to comply with MasterCard security regulations and failed to destroy the info of cardholders after prescribed time periods.
This is the equivalent of your bank sending monthly account statements will all the info printed on the outside of the envelope. It is merely inexcusable and has led to potentially the biggest theft of financial information in history.
Which Credit Cards?
The incompetence of CardSystems Solutions will have an impact on every main credit card group. As several as 4 million American Express and Discover accounts were also put on the sacrificial altar by CardSystems.
What You Should Do
You should review all costs on credit card statements over the next 12 months. Contrary to popular belief, hackers typically will not go out and charge up thousands of dollars on the card. Instead, you ought to look for small charges of $10 to $20 from businesses with bland names. Hackers know that many individuals will not call to reverse a little charge. Don’t be lazy! Closely inspect your statement and contest any costs that aren’t familiar.
Frankly, it should be liquidated. There is little doubt the major credit card companies will take action.

- Easy tracking of expenses and purchases – Using a credit card for business purchases makes it easier to track expenses. The majority of credit card providers offer comprehensive expense reporting (both online and off) which can save you countless administration costs and a lot of hassle.
- No more petty cash – Petty cash used to be the most popular way to pay for small, incidental purchases but the days of the petty cash tin are well and truly over. These days it’s more common for companies to make purchases online or over the phone. Providing key staff members with a credit card that’s attached to a business account means you can make instant purchases and reconcile expenses quickly and easily. 3. Rewards and incentives. The majority of business credit card programs offer rewards and incentives for users. Organisations can save money on a variety of goods and services from petrol to air travel, insurance and other professional services.
- Build business credit – One of the most important reasons for applying for a business credit card is to build your business credit. This will come in handy if you need to take out a business loan in the future. Responsible use and a consistent payment history will be great assets to your credit rating.
- Separate business and personal finance – If you’re a small business owner you’ll know how important it is to separate business and personal finance. Having a business credit card will help with this division and will come in especially handy around tax time. Remember to keep your accounts separate and don’t be tempted to make personal purchases on your business credit card (or vice versa).
- Large purchases or unexpected expenses – There may come a time when you need to buy supplies, make a one-off payment or pay a large bill. Business credit cards help you to make these one off payments quickly and are more convenient than applying for a business loan.
- Embrace the quiet times – Cash flow is a major concern for all businesses and even more so if you have employees or creditors that rely on your payments. A business credit card can help you cover the quiet times and the seasonal lulls.
- Say goodbye to cash – Having cash on-site or carrying it around with you is not a good idea. Business credit cards reduce the need for ready cash making your business less of a target for theft or loss.
If they’re used responsibly, business credit cards can help you run your business better and even save you some money.
