I opened a card with Credit One bank 2 years ago, since then they reached out to me about increasing my credit line but after doubling my credit line they sent me an additional card. Then reached out again about increasing the credit line another $500 which was another credit card, informed them I do not wish to have another account so they increased a card $250. What happened to the $500? Every time you try and make a payment you are locked out of the account for "system maintenance" or "account suspended" then you wait 24-72 hours and log in and what do you see? More unnecessary charges added from the previous file review.
I do not recommend you work with this company in any way possible. If you decide to, then definitely record all conversations and print all documents with statements. They are NOT consumer friendly in the least. Also if you choose to close the account out ask the rep on the phone to send you an account closing statement with the days date which will include the Per Diem (daily accruing interest) while you're on the phone with them. Otherwise you will pay balance in full then they will charge you a fee off of the interest they didn't omit that was already on the account Stick to the larger credit card companies. Even if the credit line offered is higher. Save your credit you worked hard for it!!!

Go read the hundreds of reviews about this bank on Yelp..to verify what I'm saying is true. Scammers. No one in customer service will transfer me to a supervisor....I've had to call back 8 times now and give 8 different people my name address and social security information...Each time they say they'll transfer me to a supervisor they hang up on me....I got approved back in January and they said they've sent it many times...in January, in February and now in March...
On Monday of this week they said they'll send it 2-3 day shipping for having to wait 3 months for my card... Then now an hour later when I finally get a supervisor..she said no one told me that and I told her if the calls are recorded to listen for herself. They keep saying my address isn't a legit address and that's why every 2 weeks when they ship a new card it doesn't arrive but I called UPS and they said my address is fine and it's probably a scam company if they are saying my address isn't deliverable.
I get Amazon packages to this address daily as well as letter correspondence and bills mailed to this address every week. Now I'm getting texts and emails saying I need to make a payment or I'm past due on a payment!?! How?! I haven't even gotten my card in the 3 months that I been waiting for it!? They want me to pay for what??!? All customer service agents are in India and you can research online about scammer companies from India. Can't even get an American or proper English speaking representative in customer support. Now I was on the phone with a supervisor and she said she wants to transfer me to her manager and I was on hold for 10 minutes before she hung up and now I'm having to call back for 7th time! ** is this?!? Only scammers do this!!!

Every time I made a payment to this company I would see it post to the account and then it would get returned the next day later and yes I have the funds available in my account. I’ll go out be possible to post and then they just take the payment away. It just disappears like it never happened and I have proof and screenshots of every time they did this Resulting in a return payment just so they can scam off making money from the fees that they’ll give you for doing that even though the funds were available they still kept returning. The payment makes no sense. Now my account is closed because every single time I try to pay it they wouldn’t keep the money there. It would post for a day and then reverse right back into my account. They’re a SCAM. But they sure won’t hesitate to take that $75 fee from you though within a week of having the card.

My only real complaint is their website... It is the worst website I've ever used! It constantly says my request has failed and won't load any of my information. Every time I make a payment it says it can't confirm my bank information and they need to send me two deposits but never do, so I have to make payments on both cards at separate times because they think two payments is an act of fraud, which apparently is fine to commit two weeks late, I don't know. Then they ask me to switch to electronic statements, which I attempt to and then it kicks me out of the site completely taking me to a page that says I don't have authorization to view the site. It's utterly ridiculous to say the least!

One star because zero is not an option. They took my money on 3/4. Said it won't post until 3/12. 8 days after my payment. My bill is due 3/10. So here I am paying 6 days early and they say it's late? BEWARE - They purposefully make it impossible to pay your bill on time, EVEN IF YOU ARE PAYING EARLY. The customer service rep said this is typical. This is wrong. Predators. CALL THE NEWS, PEOPLE. THEY NEED TO BE SHUT DOWN.

They would not remove the annual fee as I had made one purchase on my card. Do not use this company as they will give you a credit line of $500 and then charge you $99 per year to have this. This should be illegal but since it is a fee and not under interest they can get away with this.

At first everything was fine, card was received in a good time, and payments made was posting. Once I missed one payment on time they “suspended“ my card until I paid at least a “minimum“ and I ended up paying a the whole balance off and was told it would reflect on my account as soon as possible which didn’t happen. Called 48 hours later and was told it would reflect the next day. Nnot only did it never happen but the payment I paid in FULL that was “pending” was completely gone as if I never made a payment and it was still saying “cards suspended“. Even though it shows on my banking statement, No one could give me answers as to why this has happen. They just keep transferring me to different people, I will be taking legal action. $300 limit they give which actually is only $250 isn’t worth it!

2 situations my card was compromised and it took 2 months to get new card. Then I was out of the country. Ran into situation. Needed to get my 75.00 cash advance but didn’t have the pin which was never generated and when I called they said pin was mailed the day before to my home. Not emailed and nothing they could do. I AM IN COLOMBIA. HOW CAN I CHECK MY MAIL and everyone I talked to could care less about your situation. I owed 30.00 which it was zeroed out before I left so there were 30.00 in fees for having a zero balance. This company is a joke. Run don't walk away.

I apply for a credit card to rebuild my credit. It took the company over 30 days to send credit card. I received an email from them telling me that my account was going to be closed due to inactivity. Called the company cause no card was ever received. They then sent me my 1st card that they deactivated due to my call about no card. Then I received a card and they deactivate that card. On Jan 17, 2023 I called cause I went to use the card I did have and they closed my acct. After about 10 calls later each time they told me that I would receive a new card within 10 days. No card was ever received.
I have gotten excused going from "oh we ran out of plastic to we ran out of chips for the cards." They have now since closed my acct. and want me to reapply not realizing that my credit will be hit again and will bring credit score down when I am trying to build it up again. They are all based out of India have American names and will not provide you with any information like an ID number. I have spoken to 8 people today and they are still unable to help me. I have been on the phone with them for 2 hrs with no resolution. This company is a Scam/Fraud.

Do not choose this card. My credit score is 632. I applied for and received the Credit One American Express bank card. They are deceitful and manipulative because:
2. They charge you $4.95 to make an extra payment over the phone.
3. You cannot make an extra payment on their website. It is considered the standard or monthly payment. There is no option for an extra payment even if you try 3-5 days after your regular payment has posted. So you can never get ahead because of high interest rates.
4. They send you offers to raise your credit limit but you must pay a fee and it is for a card with another name.
5. They will not send you offers for balance increases for the card I have which is Capital One American Express which I want to keep.
These important details are never described when you view lists for credit cards for individuals with fair credit. These options should be available to all.Credit One is not a card for those trying to get ahead. They have figured out every way possible to keep you in the pit. Their payment practices are criminal and should be investigated and revised.

This is, by far, the worst company to work with. My credit card was regularly stolen and when I would call I would speak with people who are VERY difficult to understand, speak over you, and consistently transfer you to another person. My credit card information from Credit One Bank was stolen in October and it took them two months, and my constant calling to reverse the charges so I wasn't paying interest on those fraudulent charges. I decided I was just going to be done with it and I made a payment on 12/21/2022 to bring the account current while they continued their investigation into the fraudulent charges. I called two days later on 12/23/2022 to close the account. I then waited for a check in the mail for the over payment I would receive and now, in February, I receive a phone call that I'm past due on my payment for them? What? How?
For January and February I was charged for credit protect and I was charged an annual fee as well as one of the erroneous charges from October REPOSTED to my account! This company is absolutely absurd and they're all about how to get the most money from you that they can. I have never dealt with a company so terribly and utterly lost. I've now spoken to at least five or six different people and none of them say they can a) reverse the late fee charges, b) close the account, c) reverse the annual fee charges or the credit protect. Jesus! At this point I'm willing to pay that stupid charge just to close the account! Stay away at all costs. It's a money pit!

This has been the WORST experience that I’ve had with a credit card company in my life. I have not had a credit card for over 3 months. They lied & said they sent it out. I updated my address. Waited two weeks later and I didn’t receive anything. I called back again and they said they had a credit card shortage, so there was a delay. Then they said they sent it & expedited it. Two weeks later, still no card. I called back AGAIN & they claimed to had sent it to my old address. I updated it with them over a month ago & I had my mail forwarded. They lied that time. I spoke with a supervisor who promised they would send it out. 3 months later, I STILL DON’T HAVE A CREDIT CARD.
Now, they claimed to had sent it out on the 12th of December and then they opened a claims for another card of Jan 22. Why would they open a ticket to issue the card on the 22nd if they really did send it on the 12th???? Now I’m on the phone with the 8th supervisor and they are saying that they don’t know when they can send me another card AND IT’S BEEN THREE MONTHS!! How in the world can they tell me that they don’t know when they will send it and they can’t guarantee when they will send it???
THIS IS A HORRIBLE COMPANY! You don’t even get your money for rewards! They’ve sent me 3 checks over two months after the date they were issued. So, when I got the checks they were expired. They refused to reprint them. Since this has happened every year and I never had issues receiving any of my mail, I can only assume this is done intentionally and they do it to all of their customers so they won’t have to pay them!!! Customer service is horrible. They will lie & then make it seem like you’re crazy for wanting to have access to your money. I don’t care how bad your credit is, start with a reliable company. Try Capital One. I’ve never had an issue with them. This company needs to be shut down! They have a bunch of people working from home from ** & they are NOT TRAINED.

Although Credit One offers a pretty good card, their service is horrible… My account got shut down for 0 reason, never missed a payment and have had card about 3 months, when I call to find out what’s going on they inform me my account has been closed, when I ask why I can get a straight answer, finally an “account supervisor” gets on the phone and tells me about “reversed payments” from this account… Every payment he brought up was taken from my bank account and I provided him reference numbers… He then asks if I could send in my statement so he could open an investigation… Too much trouble for no reason, I’ll use a different card moving forward.

American Express should get out of business with Credit One fast. So I lost my card I called to cancel the old one and requested a new one. A month later I realized I still haven’t received it yet. So I go into my online account cause I know they have an annual fee of $95 and wanted to see if it was charged to the card for the new year. I found 599,00 charged on the card $400 at an Apple Store and 199 at a rite aide. I said how is this possible I didn’t even get the card yet. So I called them to tell them what’s going on and to let them know there are fraud charges on the card. They said we will have to review this but in the mean time you will have to send us a utility bill and your license so we can confirm who you are. I said, "Are you serious?"
I said, "You should be looking to see who charge my card that purchases were made in another state and I never activated this card." No customer protection with their products or interest into looking into The matter. So I paid the balance cause I don’t want my credit getting hit while they wait to decide if they will look into this issue. I will be canceling my account with then once payment is taken from my bank account. Stay away from this credit card company they don’t care about their customers and the safety of people personal information. This company is bad news and American Express made a big mistake putting their name on this card looks very bad for them too!!!

I have been a Credit One card holder for about 5-10 years. I have had several issues with transactions being declined to avoid fraud. Embarrassing, but not unique to them. I have always paid on time and usually try to pay off each month. One often you cannot pay completely off unless all your transactions are early in the month. Not sure, but this is a bit annoying. I do not care for the 7 days after paying to have credit available, but still not my biggest issue. For the second time after making a payment (to pay the card off), they have suspended the card because my payment could not verified. The first time I provided them with the information they requested (proof the payment came from our bank account) they never reinstated. Then when we called, they said they had closed the account because we had not submitted proof. We cut up the card and it is still showing as an open account.
Now again, I paid the card off and 8 days later I received a letter "temporarily suspending" the account until I provide a copy of a bank statement (which I do not like) or a printed transaction detail. They have the account paid off, and I will keep it that way. Going to wait and get a credit card company I can use and count on having the credit they extend. I do appreciate the card at a time I had poor credit, but I am done with this company.

Card itself is okay, so long as you never need help with anything. They have hands down the worst customer service I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with. No one I have interacted with speaks fluent English and on top of genuinely not being able to understand the CSR, the few of them that I have spoken with are beyond rude. They act extremely annoyed to have to be helping you and I use the term helping very loosely because helpful is the last thing they are. Not to mention not only can you not understand them, they can’t understand you either so it’s a phone call of constantly asking one another to repeat themselves, except they ask you to do so in an extremely rude, arrogant and condescending way.
My other issue is that the Payments take like a week to post to your account, so don’t plan on using your card anytime soon after you make your payment if it is close to being maxed out. It will show online that you have available credit but it won’t actually be available to spend for approximately 5 days. This is 2023. What credit card company takes almost a week to process a payment? My other cards take 1 business day and I even have 1 that processes payments instantly. They need to train their customer service department how to actually be of service to their customers and actually process customer payments in a timely fashion and then they might be worth recommending but until then, it’s a no from me.

My initial experience with Credit One was great. I had 2 cards, 1 for approximately a year. All payments except one was made on time and even that one was corrected shortly after. Few months later my lease was up and I had to move ~ unfortunately there were unexpected expenses related to move that threw my whole budget off. When I made my payment, I mistakenly provided them the wrong bank account (I have 2) ~ they attempted to push the payment multiple times running up nearly $100 in fees. It was my error so took that one on the chin, called them and gave them correct account. As I said budget was thrown off another payment came through and one of the payments didn't clear. Again - my error, however I immediately called them, requested to re-run the payment - they would not and closed one of my credit cards.
I went online and made my payment which did clear. Not only did they close one card ~ they offered a balance increase on the other which made zero sense to me. They immediately reported card to credit bureaus which then tanked my credit. Frustrated at this point, but it is what it is. They then removed my online access so I can't even log in for the card that is STILL active to make my payments. I have not refused to make payments, didn't say I wouldn't pay off the account they closed, nothing.
Within a day or so the calls start - 8am until 8/9pm all day long from multiple numbers. Easily between 8-10 calls a day all day every day. Initially I did answer - they wanted payment on the account they closed - advised I will make my payment but not that day. The calls continued. I did call them after a couple of weeks - made a payment on the account that was still open and small one towards the one they closed. I asked the gentleman if he could help me log on and he was unable to. TWO DAYS I had silence and the calls started again. In addition received a bill (which is fine at this point) ~ stating my next payment due was triple the normal payment.
So ~ they close the account, they remove my online access, want to tell me next payment is triple the normal amount, AND call me 7 days a week 8+ times a day from multiple numbers. This has been going on for a little over month - yes a month. Prior to that mix up - there were no issues. No exaggeration on the call amounts - if I were able to upload screenshots of my call log I would.
This is absolutely ridiculous. I am fully aware of the mistake I made & attempted to correct it. It is within their right to close my account - I accept that too. To then remove my online access which I've always made my payments by & call me non-stop all day long 7 days a week is ridiculous. Just stop the non-stop calls - it would help this situation so much for both sides. I have multiple credit cards and this is the only one that is behaving this way ~ steer clear if possible. As I said - initally it was great - would have given it 5 stars and agreed with others. However, it has turned into a nightmare and what they seem to forget is they are doing this to a STILL CURRENT CUSTOMER ~ however, rest assured as soon as my second card is paid off ~ I will be closing that account myself.

I've had my card for over a year now. I've paid my monthly bills on time with no issues. Until I was recently notified by Experian that my credit usage went down changing my score. Now I'm thinking how.... It's crazy I don. Didn't need any funding. I'm doing good with income so no need to spend unnecessary from card. Somehow my card balance was low. I called and I was told they didn't see anything suspicious on it as if it the activity been erased. Sounds nuts I know. Then I went on to ask for a replacement as I wasn't getting anywhere trying to explain to them how 96 dollars has just been taken out of my account. It's been 3 weeks since then. Today (1-12-23) I called to see the status. They wanted my SS#.
I don't feel comfortable giving my personal digits simply because of identity fraud has happened to me in past. Meanwhile on app my card number changed but there's no way of actually getting access to the 16 digit numbers as they only have just the 4 last digits showing...Like most credit card companies they provide you with access to your card until your physical card comes. So I'll just pay off my little balance and cancel the card because it's suspicious activity going on. Why they can't just send out a replacement then on top of my mysteriously missing money they charged 25 dollars for replacement fee. So my account balance is even lower. Making my credit utilization more usage than less. Never had issues with credit card company than this. Never again will I use them.

I have always been in good standing with Credit One bank. On Dec 13th I reported one charge for 96$. We ordered new cards and after 15 days of not receiving my card I called. They told me, "I’m sorry but we have had some technical difficulties. But your card was sent out today. It should be there within the next three days." It is now January 9 and I called to inform them that I still have not received my card. Today the information I received is that they are having a hard time getting the materials to print our card, and that is why it has not been sent out yet… NOT!!! been sent out…
I’ve heard a LOT of bogus ** lately. But that right there is just crazy! Mind you… even tho I remain in good standing with that credit card. I have been dealing with identity, theft, and fraud with my Chase credit cards and my Chase bank account, therefore, my Chase credit cards have been shut down or closed. And reported (illegally) to the credit reporting agencies (which is being worked on). So you can see why it sounds pretty damn odd to me that Credit One is having “issues with their printer” for the past month… According to the UC see in the USC banking laws Credit One bank are in a few violations!

Credit One Credit should not be advertised or recommended by credit bureaus. As a card to use to build credit. The payment policy is ridiculous and has you set up to fail. It takes 7 to 10 days for a payment to process and post to your account. So even if your payment is made 4 to 5 days before it's due. You run the risk of it being late even though it will show it's processing. You have to pay to have it immediately posted to the account. This in addition to high interest rate and annual fees.
Most credit card companies I have dealt with. Usually 24 to 48 hrs your payment is processed and credit to your account giving the customer the true opportunity to build credit. And not create pitfalls to trip a person up along the way by having a subprime payment system. That is equal to going back to a time when payments were sent by mail. This credit card should not be offered with the intent it helps people build credit. With the payment process being so substandard and customer service be exceptionally TRASH.

It is almost impossible to get to talk to a human, and when you get someone, you can't understand them. The card is awful as well and it takes almost a week for a payment to process. Even if you have a payment processing they charge you a late fee if they don't take the payment from your account by the due date. I would not recommend this company or card to anyone.

Credit One card was ok for about a year. They added on Credit Protection without my consent and charge me $6.67 a month. Also added almost $2.00 a month for cash advance that I never used. There was a charge I didn't make $129. 99 so I called them. They gave me a new card number. All I know is the last 4 digits. The card I have is my original one. I never got a credit card with the new number. They gave me a credit for that charge and then added it back on again. I tried to call and their phone cuts my call off immediately. They will continue charging the fees and ruin my credit since I can't make a payment. What can I do? I'm going to talk to an attorney. Please if anyone reads this don't accept a card from Credit One.

I originally got this card to assist me in raising my credit score due to my credit score being in the toilet. I was approved for $300 from the start. Within 7 years my credit limit had be raised $950 and stopped. I called and made credit line increase requests multiple times with non ** people telling me they have NO control over the decision to increase credit limits because those decisions are automated, made increase attempts on the website multiple times, and even changed my annual income when it changed and still no increase.
The final decision to close my accounts was when they sent me an email stating they were sending me a $250 check and if deposited they would increase my limit to $1200. This in my opinion is a form of bribery and I'm not going to continue to be with a company that has to bribe their customers to do anything. With this being said I have other credit card companies I'm associated with and ALL of them increased my limits in 2022, except Credit One.

They claimed it was for identity verification and my account was flagged for fraud. Since when is fraud paying a card balance off in full? ($995).

I have been a customer of Credit One Bank credit card services for a year. I’ve read reviews with Consumer Affairs and completely disagree with many others. Do as you’ve agreed from the onset. I pay before the due date, have never had any issues and I’ve never gone over the credit limit! It’s that simple. It’s highly recommended to take advantage of their credit protection program as well. In the time I’ve had a Credit One credit card, I’ve been offered a second card with a huge credit increase and a huge interest rate decrease. The mobile app is great! It’s very simple to use to see your transactions, watch your balance or pay your bill. It’s equally as simple to reach customer service by phone if needed. I’ve called customer service twice in 1 year and there’s never a wait time. They’re extremely courteous and efficient! What more could one ask?
Also, cash back purchases most often offset the interest accrued so take advantage of those when one can. There’s a little more work involved to see who offers cash back but it’s worth the few minutes it takes to look. They’re available for viewing and redeeming right on the app. Oftentimes I’ll pay more than 1 payment at intervals during a single month. At one point, I attempted to pay more individual payments but had reached their payment limits for the month. Yes, there is an individual payment limit per month but I prefer to make the payments in the event I’m ever in an emergency situation and need to use the card. They’ll only accept 5 payments in a 1 month period, just fyi. How is there to be any issue? Simply put, there aren’t issues. Hold up your end of the agreement made upon origination and there’ll never be a problem.
I also avoid large interest payments by making larger payments than the minimum amount due before the due date and/or paying the balance in full. Bottom line, pay as little as the minimum due before or on the due date right on the mobile app and there will never be a problem. I’d suggest more but that’s just me. They offer 2 ways to pay on the mobile app. They’ll do an express payment from a debit card (my preferred route) and it’s immediately applied or they’ll do an ACH hold with your bank, just don’t use the amount you’ve set aside to be deducted. It’s super simple and an extremely easy, streamlined app. It appears to me that people complaining about their experiences probably didn’t meet the required standards of any credit agreement, regardless of the card issuer. I can think of no other reason why there would be a problem. Don’t be that person and you’ll have no reason to complain. The rewards of your diligence will come!

I have not had any issues per se with my credit one American Express card… I went almost 10 years without using credit and although had absolutely no bad credit and paid all my bills on time on my house, free and clear, and all of my vehicles etc with a strong net worth I ultimately learned my credit score was below 600 or at 580 when it used to be 800… It took me over a year to get it back up and I was dumb enough to get the credit one American Express card. Now I’ve never carried a balance and I even used it heavily making sure each month it reported zero… The funny thing is they gave me a $500 initial limit and the day I received the card and activated it. They increased it up to $650. I’ve had it for 11 months now and have received no other increases nor have I requested an increase.
I would not recommend this card even to somebody with struggling credit there are other ways to improve your credit. Do not get a credit one card, unless you’re willing to be stuck in their bubble & speak fluent Indian or whatever language native to their customer service department. They made a couple mistakes that were very difficult communicating to get them to correct although fortunately, it did not affect my credit score which now finally is almost back to 800 again, but the only reason my credit score was able to go up that high in less than two years is because, I had no bad credit and I do have a above average income and above average net worth, and I did have previous good credit which I struggled, believing that isn’t factored in somehow, as the credit reporting agencies are intentionally evasive and incredibly complicated as there truly is no individual anywhere who truly knows and understands how they work or what truly causes a credit score. It’s one of those insane mysteries that hopefully one day will be done with, and we’ll move on to a more honest logical system for society.
If you’re looking to get Credit One, don’t. It is not even close to being like an American Express. The only similarity is the name and may be a couple of worthless so-called discounts you get that are mostly not real or they are discounts you can get without getting the credit one amex any credit one account. Capital one maybe… They are a bit better but again every individual is different. I would just discourage everyone from getting credit one. It will cost you $40-$70 a year for a ridiculously high interest rate if you carry a balance since I don’t carry any balances, I don’t care what the interest rate is. I wish there was a way to keep a good credit score without having to have any open credit cards. I hate the things lol.

I have had a Visa card with this bank for 2 years. Recently my card became damaged. I called to get a replaced, only to hear first it would cost $22 then I called to report it stolen so I could speak with a human. I explained I have the card saved in my Google Pay Wallet as a virtual card but that I had now misplaced the damaged card. I got a rude lecture from some outsourced young foreign accented male (young as my grandkid probably), about it's my responsibility to take care of the card, when I explained I called the lost line in hope of avoiding what I feel is an excessive charge.
After all My bank charges $5, and offers a free replacement every 2 years because cards wear out, I told him. Nor had I ever requested a new card. No such luck here. One card on sign up and a fee for a replacement regardless of why you need it. And then I was told after this rude lecture it was $25! Therefore I gave him my opinion: that this was a very, very bad business practice and the charge is excessive, outlandish and predatory. To which he rudely replied " so anything else?" I'm appalled by this interaction. I will continue with my virtual card. So glad I saved it to my virtual wallet. Still I plan to pay it off and cancel it by my anniversary date before renewal fees apply again.
Also I question if other charges and interest fees many mention are even legal. Interest charged on annual fees, interest on late fees and interest on fees in general don't sound ethical nor legal. Fees to increase one's credit line also. Avoid the entanglement keep shopping for a credit card bank.

It's also EXTREMELY slow at processing your payments and then returning those amounts to available credit. It frequently takes 2-3 weeks after an electronic payment has been made before you are credited for it. So if you are a bill payer who generally pays just on time, be prepared for hassles with this company. Then it can take another 2 weeks to have that paid amount to be reapplied as available credit. You will often see your overview balance showing incorrectly that they have processed the payment and new available credit only to have your next purchase refused due to it not yet being available for use. I have argued with their staff numerous times that their available credit often lags up to a month behind when payments are made. They just claim you actually made your payments weeks after you really did.
Their customer service is by mail or phone only. And their website and app gets more and more restrictive each quarter. Their website frequently gives you errors that a contact option or menu selection from their own site is not valid. And if after waiting sometimes over an hour on phone for customer support, you will likely get a foreigner who can't speak your language well enough to even communicate. And they are seldom more than talking rule quoters or verbal FAQs. Their main goal is clearly not to assist you.
If you have a merchant do a refund on a purchase to this card and it puts your balance over $0, you will find it very difficult to get them to approve any purchase for the credit limit plus your now positive balance. The same applies to overpaying them too. For instance, if you have a $300 credit limit and a $0 balance and a merchant refunds a past $150 balance to your account, they only consider your new available credit as $150 (the amount you overpaid). If you call them and argue about this lunacy, they'll agree to send you a check for the overpay but your full available credit remains off till then. I've gone round and round with them on that.
They also have declined my purchases when the amount is fully within credit limits. When I call to ask them, they give a speech about protecting the account from what they say they thought was a "suspicious" purchase. It's their excuse for "we don't know why we declined it". Also even though I have got a pin code from them, the card has never worked in any ATM machine I've ever tried (and I've tested many). When you call them, their response was to "use the card at a bank to get the funds". So don't count on ever getting to use the tiny cash limit they say you have.
Also be aware that the average customer gets a $300 credit limit but has to pay high yearly fees for this card and high monthly interest as well. The only way to stave off the high interest rate is to constantly attempt to pay off the entire balance and keep your balance to less than 30% of the credit limit. Go over this 30% or get dinged for them setting on your payments for weeks at time and you'll find this card and company will generally cost you far more credit points rather than increase it.
I am now trying to cancel this card and am getting excuse after excuse as to why they do not get it done. 1st they of course want the balance to be at $0. But then if you don't get the amount just exactly right to the penny, they'll tell you they will mail a check to clear the balance. (I got a 32 cent check and it took weeks.) Then they tell me that that balance has changed again without new transactions and here we go again.
I regret getting involved with Credit One. They might be in Vegas but all the support I have ever received was people in a foreign country. As soon as I get them to accept the magic number to close this account and to return the remaining funds, I'm no longer going to do business with them. And of course cancelling a CC also hurts your credit, so getting their card did me no favors. I would advise anyone considering them to rethink it and see the other reviews of them. They are not the way you want to try to rebuild your credit.

I like many others had credit issues and wanted to rebuild my credit. I received an opportunity to receive the Credit One card and would use it and pay it off each month. Each month I noticed different "fees" and would ask why my printed bill would say total amount due but when I call on the phone to pay the full amount there was another "fee" that could not be explained. I stopped using the card, then when my daughter relocated, I used the card. AGAIN, received printed bill for total bill amount, called on due date and paid total amount. Called two days later to make sure my balance was zero because of issues in the past and BAM, I was told I owed $54 because I paid my bill at 8:30pm on the due date and not 5:30pm!
I requested a courtesy fee waived and representative said yes but I still owed $10 for a pending charge and then I would be at zero balance, but the charge needed to be completed before payment and the courtesy fee would take up to 24 hours to 72 hours to be waived. I called back to pay the $10 to zero my balance 4 days later and my "fees" went from $10 to $24 plus the $30 late fee that was not removed and per the representative was not recorded. I went off along with my husband! We stayed on the phone for over an hour asking where did the extra $13 come from and the representative keep giving us the run around while I am asking, "Why is there a $13 "fee"? What is this within 4 days when I was told only $10?" I paid the $24 and ask for the card to be cancelled.
I was then transferred to a "specialist" that offered me $200 extra on my credit line which I declined, and she said, "With the increase credit line of $500 you will not need to cancel your credit card. We will keep the line of credit open for you and we will waive the annual fee for 6 months." I again said, "NO CANCEL THIS CARD!" Then she said, "I have cancelled your card but look at your next bill because your billing cycle started two days ago and there are daily charges on your account that you will have to pay." I YELLED "WHAT? THEN WHAT ARE THE CHARGES? AND WHY?"
The representative said, "I am not sure." I am like, "But it is ZERO balance. What more do I have to pay, you said two days daily interest. What is it so I can pay it and be done with Credit One!" The representative replied, "You will have to wait until you receive your statement." Ladies and gentlemen don't do like I did by getting this card, GO TO YOUR BANK and GET A SECURED CREDIT CARD TO REBUILD YOUR CREDIT! This is by FAR THE WORST CREDIT CARD COMPANY!

Complaint Details. I closed both my 2 accts with this company back in March 21. After being alerted by Credit Karma in June 22' that I had a past due acct with Credit One, I called credit one's customer service and explained I no longer have any accts or a balance with this company and ended up escalated to a supervisor who said It only showed me as closing one acct not both in March and that I've since been charged a annual fee, late fees and interest on this acct. I said I closed this account already but haven't used it in at least 3, maybe 4 years, which is why I closed them to begin with along with Fraud getting pretty bad. I asked him to please reverse whatever charge they gave me and close this acct for real this time. He put me on hold to research my acct. He said they'd reverse the charge and he'd close my acct for real. Now he did close the account but didn't reverse the charge.
I get alerted yesterday about my score dropping with credit one as the creditor I called credit one's customer service and spoke to a supervisor Markel who transferred me by request to a manager. Al was the manager who ended up assisting me. She said she reverse the charges but it may take up to 72 hours to reflect. I asked if she could remove it from my credit report, she said credit bureaus are who usually deals with credit issues so contact them and she gave me a Las Vegas .p.o box to send in a dispute credit one as well. I would really like more effort put into fixing this issue due to the fact that I only had an annual fee on one of my 2 accts with credit one and that's the acct I called to close the accounts originally in march last year 21' for the very same reason, annual fee.
I just decided to close both of them because right then so I didn't have to worry about it plus I was mad about the hit to my credit even though this was supposed to be taken care of. It seems the annual fee was removed but acct left open and accrued another annual fee while the one without the fee was actually the acct closed. Desired Outcome/Settlement. Desired Settlement: Correction to a credit report. None Provided.

He said my next payment would be due in November. All my other credit card companies were offering the same without any reservations. I received a bill that is due 10/20/22 in the mail. I called back Credit One and spoke to rep Shecila who told me she had seen note from 10/3/22 when I spoke to Leo but they cannot defer a month's payment. They can only waive a late fee.

This is not what I was told by previous rep Leo and Supv Joni would not honor what he had told to me or even check with upper management to see what can be done! Now I am obligated to pay for October which is putting me in financial straits.

Over time the call 'accidentally' gets disconnected. So pissed off the government allows companies like this to steal money from people. It's insane they can get away with this.
I hope everyone who works at this scumbag company gets a horrible infection so they can feel a fraction of the pain and suffering they inflict on everyone who is unlucky enough to do business with them. I've been trying to cancel the card and the only way to do it is over the phone. I've tried this an additional 5 times and over time the call gets accidentally disconnected. Over time I try to cancel the operator's exact words are "I have to transfer you now to an account specialist. If the call get disconnected, your account will remain open." Then they immediately hang up on you so the account stays open and they can keep charging you fake fees. Worst human beings ever.

There are many bad reviews, however, follow the rules and everything will be just great, high fees, what do you expect, you have bad credit, but if you pay it off every month no problem, the best way to make a payment is make payments through online banking, otherwise your payment will be held a few days to clear. Use it every month for small things and pay it off every month, that’s how you will get ahead. Those that have bad reviews are those that are not working the system smart, after your credit get straight, close the account if you choose to and get a regular card. This card will work if you abide by the rules and stay ahead of the game.

Received the Card a couple of months ago. Used it a few times. Paid it off before the due date $300 to 400 dollar payments at a time. Called customer service close the card, I told them the annual fee was too high. Customer service rep talked me into keeping the card after raising my credit limit to $500. And said I wouldn’t be charged any fees and so I agreed to keep the card. Made another $110 charge on the card to pay my AAA bill.
Paid half of the balance off before the due date like $75. Try to use the card again another day and a card would not work so I called customer service. They said the card has been shut down for fraud so I told them to send me the final bill then I would close the card and pay the bill off so I did receive the final bill for $75.33 and I called them to pay the bill and they tell me now that the card has been turned over to collections. The card was never late. How is that possible??
I told them to explain to me how that is even possible and the card was never late so the rep transferred me over to another department which said they were closed so I just wrote them a letter and mailed them a check for the full amount and told them to close the card. Sent the cut up card back to them. This is the worst credit card company I’ve ever dealt with. Seems like the right hand doesn’t know what the left hand is doing.

Credit One is one of the worst credit cards out there. The customer service is close to non-existent. Do not expect to get respectful customer service or expedient service from Credit One. Everything is done at their pace, and they do everything they can to no satisfy your requests. Another thing, that I did not notice at first are the reviews on their website. They have mostly 5-star one-line reviews that pretty much say the same thing. It appears that they wrote much of their own reviews. Knowing what I know and what I have experienced with Credit One, I, personally, do not see how most of their reviews are 5-star. In my experience, there are better credit card companies out. Considering the annual fee, I'm not sure that it would be beneficial to even keep the card open for credit reporting purposes.

On May 2022, I submitted an application to obtain a credit card and it was approved. I received the card later and when I tried to activate it didn't work. I tried to contact the bank many times with no response. I tried to purchase by using the card. It did not worked either. Today, I received a notification from my Credit Karma that Credit One reported me as I did not pay a fees. I tried to create a user ID and a password using the info on the card that I have never used, I found out that they charged me $75 as an Annual Fees plus late fees.
I called them to see why the late fees, they told me that this annual fees are considered as a transaction and if I missed any payment they will charge me a late fees. I told them that I am not aware that the card is activated because I tried to activate it before, they told me that they can't do anything as I had to pay the $75 annual fees on time otherwise it will be a late fees. How they charged me the late fees without even using the card even a once? Even I did not receive any notification about it. This is not acceptable, and a scam intended to rob us as well as harm my credit score.

As others have mentioned, there is an annual fee and high interest rate, but my biggest issues are the ability to make payments and their customer support. I have never encountered a bank that makes it a challenge to pay them until using Credit One Bank. I have autopay setup and have learned that I cannot make any additional payments during a seven day period leading up to the autopayment. I cannot set up the date I want the autopayment to occur. And I cannot set the autopayment to be the current balance (only the last statement balance). Every question I asked their customer service representatives required being put on hold for them to provide the answer and when trying to rectify any of the above mentioned payment issues, I have been hung up on twice now. Only use this bank if you have no other options at all whatsoever.

Yes, I understand that you must pay a horrible interest rate, and a ridiculous annual fee with Credit One Bank. They're taking a risk if your credit score is not high. However, you may be one of those that WANTS to build good credit AND pay on time. But their bank seems to do things in a way that seems like they're TRYING to make you fail. Unfortunately for me, I'm one of those people that DEPENDS on getting a statement. Get my statement to me, and I'll pay consistently. They couldn't do it regular mail, so I went paperless. That didn't work either. I just got online to see when my payment is due, and lo and behold... it was due three days ago. And imagine that, I got NOTHING telling my payment was coming up. Guess going paperless means going statement-less too.
It's not hard to see they do these things purposely. They don't notify me I have a payment coming up, then they stick it to me with a $29 LATE FEE. NOT TO MENTION THAT'S A NEGATIVE MARK ON MY CREDIT SCORE. THE EXACT OPPOSITE OF WHAT I'M TRYING TO ACHIEVE!! Just think, if they can do that to a million people, they make $29,000,000.00... and not do a thing for it.
If you're thinking about getting a Credit One bank credit card... STOP. I have two other cards I've qualified for. They notify me far in advance when I have a payment coming. And then they remind me the day before. And they both DO NOT have an annual fee, and better rates. And think about this, Credit One constantly inundated me with junk mail, for years, to get my business. The carbon footprint that all the mail trucks leave to deliver their junk mail is staggering. Now combine that with the TONS of paper that go into the landfills. So not only are they screwing me with bogus late fees to fill their pockets; they're screwing Mother Earth by polluting the environment. Going paperless... What a joke. They can't even do that right.

First off if there was zero mark I would’ve gave them so that one star is not my true feelings. This won’t be short ok. I’m a apologize upfront but it’s all facts. They are quick to add fees just cause you looked at the card (the card is phony anyways). I had it for 3 months with a pitiful $300 limit (I’m starting over don’t judge me) and I used it 3x total. First monthly payment my bank account couldn’t link with them which isn’t my fault, as they state “We will send micro deposits to verify your account”. How convenient. These ** would get the .10 an .03 to me the day my bill is due. So I’m late. Next month I noticed my $300 limit is saying $370 (not limit) so I calls them and tell them exactly what happened and honestly I couldn’t tell you what they said cause you can’t understand them. I mean they’re most likely in a tent in Bangladesh.
Regardless the second month I pay the $5 for it to go thru instantly like it’s cause that’s why you pay the extra money you’d figure. So 5 days go by and I get an email saying there was insufficient funds so guess there’s another 4 to 13 different fees adding up. Once again I called those folks and tried to explain to them Their own policies but they don’t know what I’m talking about.
Long story short which is a little late for that I canceled the card and all of a sudden I got 400 and some dollar bill which the guy I canceled it with was trying to give me a credit limit increase to 500 which I told him to kick rocks and he told me that there would be no fees added on unless If I canceled my card. I’m sure you can guess they lied so my experience was miserable. Not saying you as will be but just pay attention. They got a fee for everything if you stay on hold too long. They bill your phone company if you talk why they’re talking. They bill big bill bill bill bill. Thanks for reading this if you did and if not that’s cool too. I’m a man. Honesty is very important to me so please believe everything I’m saying in this.

Never even used the card at the time by the way. As soon as I activated it, I downloaded the app and there were the fees. Didn't really have a lot of money but I paid it piece by piece. Worst mistake. The fees on this card is astronomical!! I kept getting hit with $30 fees every time I logged in because of interest. If you don't pay the statement balance in full, you have will come to regret it. Also, I recently noticed a charge on my account that I didn't authorize. I don't even use this card anymore and don't know where it is so where did this charge come from? They also charge a monthly maintenance fee of $8 on top of the other fees.
Another issue I had was that they don't want to approve you for a credit line increase on the same card. I waited a year to apply and they told me I didn't have my card long enough for an increase. Yeah right. I got a credit line increase of $500 in 6 months at another company which is the standard if you consistently make on time payments. Not to mention, I have NEVER missed a payment, they were always on time. Moving on, they magically send me another pre-approved card letter with a $800 credit limit urging me to accept, telling me it was a credit line increase. It was not. It was just another card.
So really, I would have had two cards and guess what? More fees!! When my credit started to go up because of my other cards, they tried again and sent me an offer for a card with a $1,000 balance. Of course I refused. I was approved for 3,500 at Discover when I couldn't even get an increase at a company I have been with for over a year. I wish I never got this scam of a card.

They even called on a holiday from a local area code. When I called back the 800 number on my card the automated service said they were closed for the holiday.
