The latest question of Immediate Credit Card Care Service

i received a 660 rewards card where all i have for a credit limit for the first 3 months is 300.00 and with all the fees i have $50available credit until i pay. Is this a good card to start me out with crappy credit that i have?

Answer:

Thank you for contacting us, Susan. Though this credit offer might seem not the most beneficial one (and this is true), it is a good start for you. Poor credit rating makes it difficult, impossible, better to say, to qualify for a deal with numerous benefits, no fees, low APR and other perks. So, Rewards 660 Visa is a good option. Though you have a low credit limit at the beginning, there is a chance that your credit line will be increased. In case you make your payments on time, do not default on them and avoid mxing out your card, your lender will, most probably, increase your credit limit in a few months. You know, in fact, far not every customer with low credit rating gets approved for an unsecured deal. You have qualified. Besides, you have a rewards deal, it is even better. So, you can take advantage of a credit card, instead of putting up with opportunities that secured credit cards can give you. But having a secured credit card is not bad either. I believe your credit card, if managed right, will help you improve your credit history and score.
