Pros: I can't think of one... Cons: endless phone solicitation, bad customer service, hard to get out once you're in!
It has taken me an awfully long time to cancel this damn card. (Excuse my language, but it is the only word that can properly express my feelings toward the Associates Visa.) With that being said, let me explain...
Pros: Free Long distance with every purchase Cons: Highest APR of any College Credit card - Lie about annual Fee.
: Update:
This month I got two new bits of information about my card-
1. Although they say they do not have an annual fee, they actually have one! They charge the fee as a "account maintenance fee." It’s a big scam. They are...
Pros: Establish credit Cons: You will never be able to pay it off
My freshman year in college I got a GTE Visa card. This card is issued by Associates National Bank. This card has gotten me into a lot of trouble. They solicit college students mainly over the phone. They will call you and tell you all about this...
Pros: Since when can something with 20%+ APR have a Pro side to it? Cons: Everything involving the card.
Ah, the first day of college, you pull your car into the parking lot, and out you step, ready to get on campus and start the rest of your life. You're walking, checking out the hot blonde over there, oh man she's..."Hey - Step right up, get your...
Pros: No Annual fee, low intro APR, and calling card. Cons: customer service
The one thing smart about this card is that they contact college students asking them to join. This not only helps college students build their credit but also offers them a pretty good credit limit. The card comes with no annual fee, and a low...
Pros: Just a regular old credit card Cons: Not too exciting, no great perks
It seems as if I am going to be pretty much alone here in recommending the GTE Visa for college students and those with no credit. I was extremely appreciative of the company when THEY called ME to get a card with them. At the time I had been searching...
Pros: Seems good at first. Cons: high APR, rude service, false deals
I, like the others completely unsatisfied with the GTE Visa, received mine during the freshman year of college. And while it is MY fault that I got into SUCH bad debt thanks to this card, I can still complain, can't I?
First of all, they reel you...
This is probably the worst card anyone could ever get. The only real reason why I got it was because I was in college and I wanted to develop credit. This was the biggest mistake I ever made in college (and like anyone in college, you definatly make...
College students beware of this card!!! I applied for this Visa because I saw it on a bullitein board at school. It looked like a good card, low 9.9% interest for the first few months. After that was over I new I was in trouble. My rate was raised to...
Pros: no credit checks, a non secured credit card (mine is anyway) Cons: surprise annual fee, pay phone added fees when using calling card
My GTE/excuse me Verizon VISA was my first credit card. If you see something you don't like on there, call and ask. Customer Service has always been very helpful. As a college student with only a part time on campus job, i didn't make much, but it was...
Pros: It's a credit card. Oh, and $5 to my friend's acapella group at the time. Cons: Fees, website, odd billing times.
Ug! I got this card in a promotion my friend was doing with her acapella group. It was not that bad at first: then after about six months, I was notified of a yearly fee being put on my account.
