    I have had many issues with them over the years I have had them. I've had them for years because they were my first line of credit and I don't want to lose that to impact my score. Before I had issues with their app, having issues again! I try signing into my account, they are supposed to send a code to my phone so I can log in and it never comes. I try to call customer service and they're almost always closed for maintenance. Try to find help online but all they give is blanket statements on how to sign in and give no actual help. The last time I was able to even reach customer service was a couple years back and they were no help at all. I ended up calling to pay my bill each month. Then they have ridiculous fees each year. It's not worth it. Avoid this company at all costs!

    I called to report a fraud on one of my cards and come to find out the address did not match mine that they had on the computer. They had pulled my son's address from somewhere and linked it to my account. Well, this triggered a huge issue. Then two days later I received a call from the main office. The first lady told me that my accounts were now on hold. This was even after I just paid the card off again. I again asked to be transferred to a Mgr so the next lady got on the phone and told me that I needed to provide all types of ID and a letter from my bank. I told her that it is ridiculous and that they needed to correct the issue quickly. She told me that because I paid my cards from my company account and now that they have cleared my account until my bank letter was sent in, my account is frozen and would be close if I did not send this information in asap.

    I have used this form of payment previously and the account was verified online that this was ridiculous. I asked for mgr and she told me the buck stops with her and there is not one reachable that can use common sense to see that this was just a farce. I have since sent in the requested information and now I am being told that it will be 10 days before they release the account. I want someone to look into this and make their own assessment of the issues. The rep in the office named Vannessa was the last lady that was rude and unhelpful, to say the least.

    While I’m sure this card may help those with bad credit, I only got it to use at gas stations while traveling. I made a payment on the card and everything seemed fine. About 10 days later I went to use the card again and it was denied. I called customer service and found out they had placed a block on my card, not allowing me to charge anything OR make anymore payments.

    I was told that this block was put in place because they thought my payment was fraudulent and would now require one of two things to unblock my account. 1) Provide them with an unredacted monthly bank statement PDF, meaning that I’m supposed to send them my bank statement with all of my charges and copies of my checks. The statement must also include the payment I made to CreditOne. Or 2) a letter from my bank on their letterhead with my account information, full name, and a statement saying that my payment to CreditOne was not fraudulent.

    I’ve never had dealings with a company that calls a payment fraudulent and requires me to prove that it wasn’t but at the same time accepts that payment (it posted fine to CreditOne…and they’re still holding it). It’s sketchy at best. I couldn’t get a straight answer from CreditOne as to why there was a hold on my account. Best I could figure is it’s random and occurs so that they can get more financial fees and interest out of their customers. You’re at their mercy when you get a hold placed. Even if I am able/willing to get this personal bank information to them it will still take them 3-14 business days to let me back into my account. By that time…they’ve already charged their fees.

    It goes without saying that I will be canceling this card as soon as I’m given access back to it, but wanted to give everyone a heads up about the scam they’re running. Know that it doesn’t matter if you pay on time or if your account is in good standing. It’s a random fraud alert they put onto your card that prevents you from making charges and making payments, so you can’t rely on the card since it can be shut down at any time. I’ve reported to the BBB and Ic3.gov.

    I had the worst of worst experience with Credit One bank. They kept charging me over the top of some interest on some amount that I in first place wanted to dispute. Even after calling the bank many a times they did not put the transaction on dispute and started charging me interest on the amount. I consistently called their customer care and asked them to dispute the amount and they kept saying that they are waving the interest. I finally gave up and paid the whole amount and thought all my account is settled but in the absence of my knowledge they kept charging interest over the interest. Also the Sales Reps were pathetic to talk to and I felt as if no one was hearing on the other side. SR also asked me to go ahead and write the review as it won't bother them. I realized that there is no place to write a review for them thus using this platform to alert people to be saved from them.

    I used Credit one for MANY years now. But the last year or so, I can't even use it. I get declined anywhere I go (even though I have a balance to cover). I have to either call them, which means being on hold for at least 10 min. Or just use a different pay method. Just cut it up like I did. No sense in having a card that works SOMETIMES. And customer service is horrible. I called 4 times just to get hung up on before I even speak to a real person.

    I've had a Credit One credit card for about a year and a half. Closed it today. Reasons:
    *24.24% interest rate.
    *Fees (for having the account) when you do not expect them.

    *EXTREME difficulty closing the card/account. -You cannot do so online. -There isn't an option to do so when you call, so you have to continually press zero. -VERY difficult to understand everyone that I talked with due to thick accents. Everyone as in two people, there was another person that I was forwarded to. -Continual attempts from the person you are dealing with to just close the account, there were THREE counter-offers. -Whole process to complete took 30 minutes.

    I would not recommend this company. The good news was the absence of an annual fee. On the downside, I often can't use the card for online purchases even though I keep my balance 100% paid at all times. Next, I can't log in with the password that I know works unless I use my iPhone. I can't log in on my laptop. I just did password reset three times and it will not reset. I understand that the login is case sensitive as well as the password which is goofy but it still will not reset. Also, I tried several times to cancel paper statements and could NOT get the job done either spending a half-hour on the phone with customer service or through my online acct. I hate to cancel the card because they kindly took me when I was re-establishing my credit but they are such a pain. Did I mention you get no points for purchases?

    If you're considering getting a card from Credit One Bank DON'T! They make it super easy but they also charge you insane amount of fees and interest. They charge for EVERYTHING! They even charge for a credit lint increase that they offer to you. I accepted a card, almost a month later I still don't have my card but they manage to put a $95.00 fee on it already, again I don't even have my card yet and it's been almost a month and since I don't have my card thus I can't activate the card.

    When you call them, it's going to somewhere in India so chance of you getting anything done is slim. I called them asking for a new card and was told that USPS couldn't deliver to my address and send the card back. They said appears the address was wrong, so I ask them to delete the fees since it's been a month and I still don't have my card and you're putting a fee on their that's 10% of the card's credit line. The answer was: it's not our fault the address was incorrect. So I ask the representative if I am mailing you a piece of mail, the address was incorrect. Was that the sender's fault or was it the receiver's fault when all the info on the account is correct?

    Their agent also lied to me trying to tell me how USPS reached out to me to tell me they could not deliver my mail. Let's be real, USPS does not reach out to anyone other than when you have a piece of certified mail when they need a signature. They don't contact you or call you for anything! This bank is shady, don't get a card from them because between all the fees you barely get to even use the card for anything.

    Do not sign up for this credit card. I have enough credit cards but signed up for this one because they supposedly give a percentage back to Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in Kanab, Utah, and I love what that organization does for animals. Anyway, I got an email from them with an offer of a $25 statement credit if I spent $500 in the month of April. It said no login required, just click to activate. I checked the email over very carefully, looked legit. I clicked. It took me to the Credit One login page. So much for no login required. I called their customer service number to find out what was going on. After two hours and five phone calls, I was told it was a scam by five different customer service reps including a manager. Finally, the last rep in the fraud department dug a little deeper only to find out that it is a legit offer for select customers!! Why did it take two hours and five reps to discover this??? Do not get this card. I will be canceling mine.

    This credit card company is by far the WORST company I have dealt with regarding credit history. Let me break down to you EVERYTHING you need to know and my experience for those considering to be involved with this card company and their options of cards. I was recommended the “Platinum” card through Credit Karma as a “build credit” card so I proceeded to apply with them. Approval and registration process was simple with the company, and BOY OH BOY I should’ve known from the jump with the APR the crap show I was about to experience with this company (details of the specific card I had below).

    Credit One Bank Platinum Visa®
    23.99% Variable Monthly Purchase APR (WSJ Prime + 20.74%)
    $39 Annual Fee

    $5.00 or 8% Cash Advance Fee (whichever is greater)

    I opened this account December 2020. I only used it for emergency purchases such as gas, food, or any other necessities. I was given a $2,000 credit limit but only used at the MOST $300. (I’m not a fan of credit cards nor the credit system but THAT is another rant for another day). I’ve never missed a payment and was always on time, even with losing employment because of COVID-19. THIS IS WHERE IT GETS AGGRAVATING.

    When approaching the date for the amount due OR if you’re even ONE DAY behind scheduled payment, customer service will BLOW your phone up to get in contact with you to make SURE you pay in full the amount. And let you NOT answer the phone because of, oh I don’t know, WORKING YOUR 9 TO 5, God forbid HANDLING EMERGENCIES, you know the usual DAILY TASKS, they will KEEP calling. It got to the point where I HAD TO BLOCK their customer service number — 1 (877) 825-3242 — on my phone, oooooh but it gets BETTER. I guess with them getting the memo that I had them BLOCKED they got all FANCY and started calling me off of DIFFERENT AREA CODES.

    I live in South Florida so our area codes are 954, 786, 305, 754, 561, to name a few, and on my Caller ID it would show up as a wireless caller. Of course I don’t think anything of it and answer the phone because I’m used to getting inbound calls from the specified area codes, and sure enough it's a “representative” from the card company ON THE OTHER LINE. These numbers that they would call me from to list a few and LITERALLY this is JUST A FEW — (754) 336-2120, (786) 673-0080, (954) 656-2886 (give ‘em a call and tell ‘em I’m putting them ON FRONT STREET) — I would immediately BLOCK. OOOOOH, IT GETS BETTER. Somehow they STILL find a way to RING MY LINE WITH THOSE SAME NUMBERS by SPOOFING.

    I became FED THE ** UP and the next call that came through WHOEVER was on the other line was going to receive all the RAGE I had built up from them because it was EFFING HARASSMENT at this point and sure enough my line said “ring-ring” and it was GO TIME. I told the representative - IRA - WHO has been the CONSISTENT REPRESENTATIVE for 2022 (because 2021 it was multiple people), about herself, the card company, the way they BOTH go about their customer service, and how if she continues to call me in the manner she does, I WILL FLIP ALL MY ** LOOSE ON HER. ITS EFFING ABSURD, is what I ended with. Ask me if I’ve gotten a call since putting HER in check. Phone been quiet. Did I mention the emails were just as the same? Ask me if I’ve been receiving any SINCE I did the same exact thing over the phone via email. You would think they unsubscribed me they damn self.

    I’m already in the process of closing my account with them. This credit card company is BY FAR THE WORST IN ALL ASPECTS. I wouldn’t recommend them to ANYONE. Do yourself the favor, spare yourself the HEADACHE, and DO NOT get an account with them. Try Petal Card or American Express, both to which have exceptional customer services and protection. CREDIT ONE BANK CAN **.

    Had an AMEX account and attempted to schedule a payment on April 7th for a later date but went past the date calendar and attempted to cancel but the payment posted immediately and called to see if they could cancel on their end and was told that they could not and I was instructed to contact my bank to have the payment refused.

    My Bank said they would attempt to refuse payment but it had already posted and so I had to dispute the charge to have the funds returned to my bank account. I followed up with Credit One Bank to let them know that I had to dispute that payment but would be making payment in full on the 14th. I then received an email on April 13th stating my AMEX account had been closed. I called asking why and that I was going to make payment as promised on the 14th but was told I would need to submit a statement from my bank and a letter to why the payment was being disputed. REALLY????

    I then attempted to make an online payment to my other account and could not saying the account had been suppressed. SO I called AGAIN... and was told for security reasons they would need a statement from my bank regarding payment so the account could be released. I then told her to close both accounts. This is totally unacceptable business practice.

    I applied for this card when my credit was just miserable. I don't believe I was above 550. I received the card and started making purchases and paying them off immediately. Now remember, not only are you paying back your bills and any interest, but you are also paying almost $10 just to have the card. Not exactly easy for someone who is obviously in bad financial shape.

    They pretend to be looking out for you and getting your credit up. As with most businesses, I find this to be lacking. I had this card for over 5 years while having moved on to other cards with much better returns. So, I can say, it did raise my credit. Well, it gave me the opportunity to. I had paid off this whole card, but they continued to charge the $10. I tried multiple times to call and cancel the card, but they transfer 5 times (not an exaggeration) and repeatedly tell you that if the call gets dropped, you the card won't be cancelled. There are no other options to cancel the card, even online in the site. After 5 years of repeated attempts, I accepted that this is just a price I will pay for getting myself into the hole I did.

    I missed my first payment in those 5 years this week. I forgot, honest mistake. Saturday morning, my cell phone and work phone both have 4 missed calls from 8am to 11am. I called the company furious, telling them if I did not get this cancelled I would be looking into other channels and contacting the Better Business Bureau. The rep was very smug and asked if I could afford the $20 (with additional late payment) on my account which I happily provided to him. Magically, my card is now cancelled... after 2 additional transfers to 2 people trying to get me to stay on with free months. I told them I know it is not their fault, their company disgusts me and I do not want them to receive another dollar from me.

    In summation, the card can work for what it says it does, but they are looking to take advantage of people with no money. If I had messed up when I began with the card, I imagine I would have had multiple missed calls every single day until it was resolved. No one should go through that stress and no company should put people through it. Pros: It worked. It probably cost me way more money than it should have, but my credit is now in Excellent territory. Cons: Way too many to list, but the hoops you need to go through to get out of the card should be enough for you to look elsewhere.

    I would give 0 stars if that was an option. Besides the absurd fees, the customer service could not be any more frustrating. I have not been able to connect to the app for over 2 months. I went to the website to try to access my account in fear I was being bombarded with late fees etc.. I could not access my account there either. Password recovery was painful and after all that, I was still unable to log in after setting a new password. I called customer support, firstly there were no menu options to speak to representative and every number listed on the customer support page goes to the same menu. I stayed on the line for maybe 10 minutes letting the menu options cycle and eventually my call was received overseas by a representative who would not even listen to my issues without announcing my full SS# over the phone (even though I had to enter it to even initiate the call).

    I called again and asked to be connected to a supervisor. This process (the second call) took about 20 minutes. This representative was also unable to provide any useful information. This company will send a promo email nearly everyday but I have to jump through hoops to get someone on the phone. Completely unacceptable service.

    Recently I have applied for a credit one credit card online thru credit Karma. I got approved for it at a 1,000 limit. However, every time I called up I could not hardly understand them (language barrier). I noticed that the interest rates was over the top so I decided to close both of my accounts and pay them thru the refinancing of my home. When I sent in the check from the escrow account they had reversed the accounts and ended up getting charged for late payments which reflected on my credit status. So I called them up and explained to them what happened and they did not want to give a credit of the late payment fees. I demanded they do and would not accept anything less.

    Since then, I had to call them back up and wanted to be transferred to account services and the rep did not want to transfer me. So I was getting heated and he hung up on me, so I called back. Once I got transferred I finally got to the department that I needed and made the last payment of 961.05 So now I'm done with them and I really hope that no one else applies with them for credit. It's the worst customer service I have ever had to deal with. DO NOT APPLY WITH THIS COMPANY. YOU WILL REGRET IT.

    Things you need to know that I did not.

    1. No grace time to pay bill. You are considered late and charged a $10.00 late fee if payment is not there on due date.
    2. This is true even if you make your payment early. And charge something.

    3. Put a hold on the card if not paid by due date.

    These are things I found out this week. I had a zero balance and charged some tickets early this month (march). Called and got my balance and set up my next payment for april 8 to return to a zero balance. They informed me march 29 of these rules. I will keep the card but it will be the last one I use. Also when I first received the card to try it out I went to my local supermarket to purchase items for supper, their computer rejected the card 5 times. When I called customer service he said go anywhere but there and it can be used. It was so late by then. I called my wife to meet me for supper (good dinner), handed the card to the waitress to pay the bill, she came back and told me that it had been declined! Thank goodness I had my usaa card with me.

    First, they make you wait 2 weeks for a card you may or may not get. I called customer service line for lost cards because of this exact situation, and --after all that waiting, following instructions to call if card wasn't received and much wrangling with an ESL rep, lots of frustration-- I just decided I didn't want the acct anymore. Rep said they said they couldn't cancel because I didn't actually receive a card. I insisted, so rep continued asking for information I'd already provided direct to him. Worse, he couldn't guarantee that I wouldn't be charged the absolutely insane amount of $75/year in one lump sum. Attempting to increase my credit score, high hopes of buying my own home eventually, but with this sort of company --one which rips peoples' money from them without even having an account-- should be avoided at all costs!

    I will keep this short and sweet. Credit One froze my account because I paid off my card too quickly each month. They would not re-instate the account unless I provided them with 3 forms of verification that it was me paying off my account with a letter written by me saying the same. So after speaking to 4 different "supervisors" I have closed my account. If you pay off your card on time or early like myself plan on it being frozen with this company unless to show them everything but your blood type proving that its you paying your own bill.

    I called the customer service line and the agent tells me I will take your debit card information. I say wait is there a fee? The agent says yes but because you had so many issues trying to make your payment I'll go ahead and waive $2. So instead of the $4.95 fee you'll only be paying $2.95. I let the agent know my payment is due tomorrow and no one told me Credit One needs to verify the checking account (takes up 10 days). I'm only left with 2 options: Express Payment for a fee or my first payment is going to be late is that correct? The customer service Representative says yes and that's it. The APR is high and the customer service is lacking. Go with another option!

    My credit card account with Credit One was recently paid off 4 months ago and I have not used it. I was keeping the card since it looks good to have a credit card paid off. In the past several months I have been billed $8.53/ .30 cents on a card I am not currently using. Just this evening 2/24/2022, I notice another statement e-mailed to me for .30 cents. I would recommend anyone who needs to build their credit to refrain from using this company. I have never heard of anyone charging .30 cents for a credit card you are not utilizing. To make matters worst, I am being charged $5.45 cent for processing fees on .30 cent bill. This is what you call corporate greed by taking advantage of 99% of the working class in America.

Call an agent... they say they have to update info (even though all of the info matched). If ya miss payments they can SUCCESSFULLY CALL 10+ times a day, but a robot cannot send a text to the same phone number they call, weird right?

This company froze my account after I paid my balance. They said they needed to "verify" my Chase banking account b/c it's a new credit card and required proof from the bank that I had an account there after they withdrew my payment. Why would any credit card company require a letter from the bank that my account is my account. Now I am unable to use my card until I submit a letter and yet my balance is fully paid and they took their yearly fee. It's like a damn scam and no reputable credit card company would do that.

Firstly, they do not make it easy to put your bank account on their credit line. Secondly, they want you to pay that extra $8 service fee if you can't verify your bank account. I've tried THREE separate bank accounts and they all did not work through this credit card company. Lastly, the company will close your account if you miss 1 payment.

    They ruined my credit score even more, even after they supposedly verified my bank account with me over the phone. I thought wholeheartedly that my payments were being made because my bank account was verified and put on Autopay, that was not the case. My credit score dropped -45 points because of the miscommunication with this company. Positive this is how they make their money, seems extremely criminal.

The first month I got a notice that my payment had been returned due to a closed bank account. I called immediately letting them know I’d had the same checking account for over a dozen years, there is no way it was closed. They stated that they had inverted some of my account numbers and entered them in again. The next month I got the same message, I called back again just to find out they had still input my info in to their system incorrectly!!!

    Part of this problem is because they don’t have ANY staff who speak English well. With incompetent staff unable to complete even the simplest of tasks is obvious this is not a legitimate company.

    Credit One Bank customer service is lacking. Small things like a change in address are time consuming. The company outsources to India from what I can gather. The people have some issues communicating and many times leave the customer on hold for too long. The bank almost never increases account limits without some sort of payment by the consumer. They prey on people who seem to have no other choice. I called the automated line. There is no choice for cancelling the card or just plain "Customer Service". I ended up pressing "7" for reporting lost or stolen cards. I was on hold for about 5 minutes waiting and when I did get an agent, he sounded drugged.

    Cancelling the card took 20 minutes! It is concerning that in this day and age when most people work from home, companies are still outsourcing labor to outside the United States.

Because I'm trying to improve my credit, I pay my bills on time every month usually a day or two before they are due. Unfortunately credit one bank has failed at making this easy. Initially, I would pay using their standard payment method. Within 2-3 days later I'd get a call saying that my payment was rejected due to insufficient funds. I'd always have money on the account. This happened 2 or 3 times before I decided to pay using their express payment system. The first time everything was OK. The 2nd time, I got my confirmation and checked to make sure the money came out and saw the charge on my debit card.

    Almost 2 weeks later I get a call that my payment was rejected again for insufficient funds!! I paid an additional $7.99 to make sure this didn't happen. There is obviously an issue with their payment system because I have 3 cards I'm paying on and this is the only one with that issue.

    Just like the fear of rejection from a person, running your credit and putting yourself out there is a hard thing to do, especially when you always see or hear a no, but a closed mouth doesn't get fed and eventually, someone will say yes and that someone's is Credit One.

Called back and suddenly asked for my full social, date of birth, etc and said it’s already cancelled. Go on the app it’s still active. Call back to cancel again and they hung up on me again

    This has been the worst customer service experience I have ever received from any bank. First they send me a pre-approved offer, I proceed to complete the application and it was approved, after several weeks I receive an email notifying that the card was sent and should arrive by October 24, today November 4 arrives a statement and the card never arrived. I contact the bank and they tell me that the card has an alert because they need to corroborate my address in which they ask me for a water or electricity bill, Social Security card and driver's license to be able to send the card.

    However, however, they could not send a notification before about what happened but if they could send the account statement, I communicated twice to the bank and both times I was attended by the same incompetent employee, unable to help me. The most annoying thing was that I told him that I wanted to cancel the card and he proceeded to do so without looking for alternatives for the customer. And now what do I do with that bad inquiry on my credit report? Inept.

    I have two cards with Credit One and for the most part it has been fine. In the last 14 months I have not received any credit increases. I am not sure as to why and yet I'm seeing on here people that have had their Credit One Card for a few months and getting $1500 increases. I never go over 10-15% each month and pay it off every month with the exception of a time or two. My one credit card that is two years old has never receieved a credit increase. I have called to see why and they don't give me a reason except I'll get a notice online and I called today to complain that I never get notices and all of a sudden I go on my account and there is my notices for not having an increase due to not meeting their criteria... I don't know what the criteria is and it's getting really frustrating. I've been with this company for four years now. Thanks for nothing Credit one. You guys are not that great!

    Don't open an account. Worst card I've ever had. Customer service is hard to understand and not helpful. They make up whatever they want because the agreement says they can close your account for ANY reason without notice. They don't give credit line increases. I had them for a year and a half, with perfect payments, I didn't have a high balance and was told I didn't qualify for a line increase because I didn't have the card long enough. This is after a year and a half. I called 4 times in a month to complain about this so they closed my account without notice. This affected my credit so please be careful.

    I have a Credit One credit card with a $300 limit. Three months ago I paid all my credit cards at all, and my credit rating score made a great leap forward. I open up the credit one account just to build my credit, Yes they did not report that I have paid them in full for almost 30+ days, while the other credit cards that I have updated my account immediately. I missed a payment two years ago right at the beginning of Covid, and it began making extra payments to pay off my credit debt. Credit one never failed to call me if I was one minute late. So when I paid all my credit cards off, I didn’t receive any calls, I did not receive an invoice, and logically I presume that I didn’t know anything to any of my credit cards.

    Apparently credit one charges an $8.25 fee for a monthly processing fee that goes towards your yearly processing fee. This fee is calculated and is charged to your account immediately every month. Two months after I made all my payments on all the cards, I received an invoice from credit one. Of course I opened up the credit card statement, and I noticed that I had $ 78 in charges on that card. Those charges were eight dollar fees monthly and two $30 late fees, for not paying those fees. I made a phone call to credit one, livid and upset, stating that it was very important to me that my credit so progress, and I had no understanding of making any payments once I had already paid the entire amount off. I received an invoice. I made a phone call to credit one, I was very upset because it wasn’t the eight dollar fee that upset me, it was the derogatory reporting for two months of late payments.

    When speaking to management, they agreed to waive the late fees for the two months, they also agreed to remove the derogatory reporting and state that it was on time and in active. Now I’m sitting at 90 days, I paid The required monthly fee, and still no changes to my report. That’s the main change to my report is that I lost more than 56 points on my score for their unethical and unfair charges. I’m livid because I’ve called several times and they have stated that they are working on it. I stated that it did not take him more than one second to report and derogatory and information, Why is it taking so long to rectify this problem. I want to close the account, open a better credit card, but I’m concerned that it will drop my score more so. I also feel like I’m being held hostage because they have done nothing but make my credit score drop points.

    Again I paid all my fees off and I notice a new fee for $4.96. Mind you my entire balance was paid off yet they charged me for interest on charges for that didn’t exist. So my payment now is $12.90,. And by the way if you call and make a payment it they charge you $7.95 just to make A payment. Each month they are robbing me of around 20 bucks, and done nothing but destroy my credit and drop my rating. I want do you know what is my action recourse, what can I do to stop this predatory and unethical bank from stealing from other people as well. Please help.

    Beware!!! I accepted an offer I received in the mail for a pre-approved credit card. Once I received the card, the card limit was lower than the "guaranteed" limit promised. There is an annual fee of $75, which was placed on the card right away. When I made my first payment on the card for the balance in full, the card was immediately suspended for a "suspicious payment." However, they don't call or send a notice of any kind, you just can't use the card. Credit One wants a bank statement AS-IS, with all the transactions and balances, and wanted me to also include my FULL bank account number and routing number.

    Otherwise they want your bank to submit a payment verification on bank letterhead stating the account holder authorized the payment, the account holder's name and the name and contact info for the person drafting the letter from the bank. Even when they accept auto-payments from the account (towards the remaining $75 annual fee), your card remains blocked. Seems like they have false advertising, make money off the annual fee and then don't allow you to use your card...in addition to wanting all your bank account information. There is no documentation that a proof of payment is needed to use the card, nor do they contact you to let you know the card is suspended or to give you status updates of your case once you upload documentation. You just can't use the card. Absolutely ludicrous.

The date due was the 4th and was told BY A PERSON, that this wasn't a problem. I paid on the 4th to only find out that I was charged a $29 late fee. I called their phone number the next day. First to rescind the late fee, since this was my 2nd month owning this card and the other was to move the day of payment, just 2 to 4 days, because people on SSI or SSDI, get paid once a month and you pay your bills then. Credit One Bank didn't wish to do either but by escalating the call and waiting the 1.5 to 2 hrs, I got them both changed.

    There is no email or otherwise contacting them with today's technology. Just 1-800 number. A long time to wait. Time is what I have. This card will be paid off shortly and will be used only for emergency uses. My other credit cards will be getting my business. What I find confusing, where stores accept AMEX, this card gets rejected or turned down from the shop owners. When I point out to business owners that they accept AMEX, they have an excuse of turning it down. I was told by more than one business that they didn't trust this company for one reason or another.

    Credit One Bank specializes in credit card banking for customers with less than perfect credit. Their main offering is low line-of-credit cards for customers who want to rebuild their credit. Their business strategy is great for short term (less than one year), but beyond 1 year, doesn't make any sense to use. For example, at the end of 1 calendar year as an account holder, they'll bill you $39 annual fee. If your balance is $0, and you never use the card, you might forget this $39 fee exists, and not pay it. After so many days overdue, they'll add a $20 late fee. And if your bank should be low on funds, a $35 returned item fee. So now we're at $94 in fees, all because one $39 charge didn't go through.

    The emphasis on assisting the customer with their credit issues is high, but when the customer needs the help, Credit One Bank stabs the customer in the back. Their customer service is near impossible to reach on the phone, and very little information exists online. I had to use the online service "Get Human" to wait on hold for me to get a person. After 35 minutes, my phone rang, and I had a Credit One Bank rep on the line. The representative was nice, and understanding of my issue. Ultimately, I cancelled my card because of their business practices. I was hoping for a better outcome, but did not receive it.

All their reps said nothing is wrong with the card and I should be able to use it. I then called the merchant where the transaction was attempting to be made and they confirmed that using a credit card for transactions on their site are not tied to cash advances or cash deposits.

    The merchant confirmed the denial is on the Credit One Bank side and they would have to release the charge as a credit purchase. The four people told me four different answers why the card was declining. The manager Mick and Shawn said two totally different stories to me, that was different from the supervisor's story and the two reps' story. This is a fraudulent card that doesn't hold up to what their policy says. If I could rate them a negative 10 I would. A score of one is too modest for this company.

I tried to maintain perfect credit payments, but my attempts actually cost me in a big way. I wound up trying to pay my card off entirely each month, 2 payments reversed from my bank because it was in the overdraft zone. What happened next was my card was closed, my credit score sank to new lows and my life was thrown back into a place I don't wish anyone. I tried to explain the situation to Credit One, but they were not helpful and they blamed the bank. I paid my bill in full soon after.

    I was told it was the app I was using responsible for my denial, then I was told I had a open account and then finally that I had a closed account with a balance. Now I just called them and they said it was because of suspicious activity on my old account. Which is it Credit One? Now they treat me like a criminal for trying to apply for a credit card. It's so frustrating because for the last year during this pandemic I had many fees and interest charges I would have never had if I had just avoided ever dealing with Credit One bank. I had to take out loans with 1700% interest because of this card closure and the damage it did to my credit after their surprise closure of my card. I'd recommend people stay away if at all possible, but I know it's often one of the early cards for rebuilding credit. I don't feel I was treated well, or even humanely by this card company.

    No autopay. Applied twice for a credit line increase and have been denied but was offered a $1500 new line of credit. It doesn’t make sense. If they can offer me a new line of credit of $1500 then why can’t they increase my current account with them? None of the customer service representatives have an answer for this and I can’t get anywhere with asking for a higher up. My current account has always been on time and my credit score is above the 700s and I still can’t get a credit line increase on my current account. I don’t want a new credit card with a new limit. If they can offer that then they can increase my current. I have had nothing but problems with Credit One in the few years I’ve gone business with them.

    This has to be by far the WORST credit card company I've ever experienced. I recently got a new credit card with them, with a small credit line of $300. I have higher credit lines that I have never missed a payment. After 1 month I paid $100. Since I was 10 days late because of an issue with my deposit, I get SIX PHONE CALLS every 15-30 minutes in 2 hours. At first I didn't even know it was them. They did not leave any voicemails until the 6th phone call. I called them back and expressed how disturbing and creepy it was to get called, and they explained to me that they do it (for my sake) so that they don't report me negatively to the credit bureau. Which is understandable, but then she wanted to social security number and personal info.

    Seriously lady? You want me to give you my PERSONAL INFORMATION AFTER YOU CALLED ME SIX TIMES? You think I'd trust someone who calls me 6 times in 2 hours? No way I said. So then she'd have to take the time to verify that the company is legitimate. All that time wasted. Could've left a message after the 1st call. I'm paying off the $213 and closing out my card.

    Let me start by saying I am very thankful to Credit One for giving me the chance with no deposit on my initial card. I have had their card since December of 2019 and love it! I started with a $300 limit and used it wisely paying all fees on time and as of now have about 11 cards as they just approved me for $1500 on another card! I see many people complaining about fees and such, they make this VERY clear when you apply for the card. If you can't afford the fees...don't get the card. There are cards out there with no fees like the Capital One Secured Visa which is what I started on with a $250 deposit over a year ago.

    Since I have been with Credit One I have had absolutely ZERO issues with this company and will continue to use their services. I have approximately 14 accounts in total and have not missed one payment. This is because if I have an issue I don't wait until my closing date or due date to address it. I check all my accounts daily even if it is tedious, it's responsibility. If you can't afford $99 a year then you probably shouldn't have a credit card as the interest on a card adds to that and this is MADE CLEAR WHEN YOU APPLY. If you dont have the income, do what I have done, go work at Sonic and put in 50-60 hours a week.

    These companies take a high risk as most people are NOT honest about their actual income then blame the card companies because they don't do the math BEFORE getting a card to see what the interest would be with a $300 card maxed with $99 in fees every year so let me try to help. So, if you have $300 and it's maxed with a 29% interest rate that's about $87, then you have the $99 fee every year. So that's actually $186. If you make the minimum payments of $30 it will take FOREVER to pay off that balance. So in total you would have $486 for that year if you maxed the card. In order to pay that card off in 12 months you would have to have a minimum payment of about $45 each month. These are rough numbers but it's to give a general idea.

    In closing, Credit Cards are not YOUR MONEY. It is BORROWED money and should only be used sparingly, in an emergency, or to invest bringing in more than what your TOTAL credit line is. Literally, 11 cards and 3 merchant accounts all above 25% interest on a median income of $52k a year with about $1500 in car, truck, and insurance payments and never missed a payment. Stop blaming these companies for y'all's shady practices for not reading and doing the math BEFORE getting these cards. They make it VERY clear if you READ about the $7 design fee.

    I knew there was an annual fee when I signed up. I planned on just paying for the first year and then cancelling before they charged me an annual fee for the second year. The customer service is terrible. It takes too long to get past the automated system because there is no clear route to ask for a human representative. There is actually no option to choose from if you wanted to cancel your card. I had to choose to make an express payment just to get to someone.

    I finally reached an "account specialist" and I explained that no longer wanted the card because I had been approved for better card which do not have an annual fee. He tried to give me an offer of a $20 credit to offset the next 3 months of my annual fee which would have been $8.25 a month. I could have appreciated the offer if the math actually added up correctly. ($8.25 x 3 = $24.75). He then went on to say that they can possibly provide a better offer during my next evaluation. If you had a better offer to give then why not offer it to me immediately instead of trying to trick me into still paying $4.75 towards an annual fee. For all I know, I could've been liable to pay the remainder of that years annual fee if I chose to cancel it after those 3 months have passed.

    I explained to him how I did not like the offer and just do not want to deal with a credit card that has an annual fee written on the agreement. I didn't get a response. In fact there was no longer another person on the other line. I was still connected but I didn't hear anything. I then had to call again and found out that my card was cancelled. So their "account specialist" attempted to negotiate with me to keep my business with them only to just cancel my card after I rejected their first offer. Not only that but they did not give me any confirmation that my card was cancelled. I would have been open to better offers or to possibly just have the annual fee waived, but instead they chose to try and deceive me and then discard of me as a customer. The only good thing is that their phone app works.

Shop at Wal-Mart for $54 and Credit One gave me 25 cents back when it supposed to be 54 cents because that would be the 1% cash back, I hope other customers are not getting schemed from their inadequate cash back rewards.

I called customer service and got no clear answer on why the payment was returned. I stated that if pay off the balance and to close my account immediately, as I won't be subjected to a $9 instant payment to avoid late fees when I paid a week in advance and wasn't notified until the last minute.

    Signed up for the credit card and in 3 months they cancel my card for late payments. First off their payment methods are stupid. They charge $10 to make a payment right away or you can make a regular payment that takes several days to process. On top of that they will call you 10 times a day, even after I talked to someone they still call. Horrible bank.

    I have had a Credit One card since June 2020. Since becoming a customer I have always paid my balance due in full every month, but one. That one time was my November payment, which happened to be the first time I was late due to the way payments are processed. I say process, but usually, that implies the customer knows how it works. Credit One does whatever they want in that regard. Let's explain.

    When you make a payment to Credit One the money is not taken out of your bank account instantly or the next day. I never knew how long the money would sit in my account before they processed it, on average it was 5 plus days. As confusing as that is I just learned to deal with it. It required constantly checking my account to make sure the money the payment was there whenever they finally processed it. I'm not rich and live from month to month like a lot of people. Some months all the money left in my account would be for my Credit One payment.

    The only time I was ever “technically” late with my payment I made the money was in my bank account for six days. So for six days, I checked just in case something I forgot about paying came out. Well, that month it did. Conveniently on the seventh day, Credit one finally decided to take it out, just after my monthly Apple music payment I forgot about has proceeded. It was also 3 days after my due date with Credit one, so I was charged a late fee. I was a little upset! It was my fault I know, but if Credit One processed payments in a reasonable way it would not have happened. Again, it ultimately was on me for that.

    Well, it's a month, after all, that and I “made my payment” four days before the due date. This time I made sure I had more than enough in my bank account. Just in case the same issue last month came up. Still, I checked my account every day to make sure I knew it had been processed. The due date came and passed with the same result. A few days after that the money still hadn't processed, so I logged into my Credit one app to check. To my surprise I couldn't log in, all I got was a message that my account had been suspended.

    When I called Credit One to find out what was going on, I was told the account had been closed! I was shocked and confused, so I asked why it had been closed. After a brief hold, the rep informs me that it was because I was late too many times. I argued that technically I had only been late once and even if that was true I had received no notice of the issue. I mean not an email, text, phone call, or message through the app. They just closed my account.

    After calming down I asked what I needed to do to get this corrected because I could prove that it wasn't true. They wanted me to send bank statements showing my account balance every month they claimed I was late. I guess the fact that their system would show only one time I ever paid a late fee wasn't enough. I would have done it for them, but all my Credit One statements were electronic and I can't log in. I thought about going through all that trouble to fix it, but if they how they do business it's not worth it! I really that it had more to do with always paying my balance monthly in full. I was not accruing interest, so they weren't making money.

    Well I was with Credit One Bank in the past. They gave me a chance. Then later on the account was closed due to hard times. But this year I applied and got a approval of $400. Then the next month was given a increase of $500 I am so grateful for this card.

    I closed my mom's account in Feb 2020. She has not used the card. There are no statements on the account until July 2020 stating a zero balance. Then another statement in October stating zero balance. Then in November there is a statement for a annual fee. We had closed the account. Then in December a bill for late fee... I called them today and they said the account was never closed! After talking to 6 representatives I finally got it resolved.

    Got approved for a card and 60 days later, I have yet to receive my card. Customer service reps barely speak English and are very rude! I had to cancel the previous two cards due to the fact that they were never delivered. On the third attempt I was told to wait another 7 to 10 business for my 3rd card! Would NOT recommend this bank!

    It is important as a consumer to know facts and be able to make informed decisions before starting a relationship with a creditor. I opened a card with credit one bank to build my credit back in January 2018 I have never been late until I lost my job during a pandemic. I was on auto-pay and the withdrawal occurred before I could adjust the autopay. Actually it hit my bank twice, in one week.

    As a result credit one bank "Closed" my account altogether. I'm now looking at 45 days late on an account that never was late. At no point did credit one bank call me and see what was going on. They have nothing in place to help people that are being affected by a crisis. I have yet since 2018 restored my credit and luckily I have other large account limit credit cards, but a late mark on your credit is a late mark. Now that I called to pay the card off they want to open my card again.... Hell no! I paid and demanded in writing to close the account after "They opened" it. The audacity. I want to do no business with a credit that will not work with me during a time of need.

    I’d been trying to rebuild my credit like most credit one customers (were not customers to this company, simply dollar signs, the word customer infers we be appreciated in some way and shows a little respect as such) first of all I'll say that I appreciated this company taking a chance on me and my less than perfect credit score when giving me a credit card. That being said, they are a business they need to make money. And so I could look past the high fees, which keep their annuals up, the activation fees which show a customer who doesn’t usually pay their bills is ready to pay something before getting anything, and not I could simply not care about the interest rate on a card with a few hundred dollar limit as I intended to pay it off each month (which I did) in order to build my credit score as quick as I could.

    After my bank account was drained by someone who got a hold of a check of mine I was screwed out of my money. I decided I’d not spend with checks or debit cards any longer. So I chose to use credit for everything and then pay the bill with my checking account. Meaning whatever I spent money on or if a thief got my card number and made fraudulent charges I wasn’t liable. I was protected in many ways a checking account doesn’t offer. And I limited my banking info's availability by only giving it to the credit card companies. My spending and liability could be far less this way. But because the card limit is small I maxed it out several weeks during the first two months this meant I was making a payment on it each week just to have money to spend.

    I could have pulled cash out I suppose but I was trying to get in the habit of paying the bill and putting my expenses (not just almost but all, on credit) and between this card and another card I was managing to. All be it taking my weekly paychecks (from two jobs paid on opposite bi weekly schedules) and paying toward each card. Now I didn’t pay the card off each week, (I did at the end of the month though) I typically just paid a hundred or two hundred dollars I’d have to give me an allowance on available credit, I didn’t use multiple payment methods to pay the credit card payments. Just my bank account and those were the only charges my bank account was being used for.

    My plan was working well and my credit score was already going up in the first couple months from doing this. Keep in mind when I made my payments I needed my cash I was forking over to them available ASAP as I’m obviously not rich and have small credit limits, so I took a loss each payment made because they charged me $10 for “express payment” which was available either right away of in twenty four hours as a pose to seven to ten days later. That is one of those fees that I mentioned earlier I was able to look past. It’s the next shady business practice however that brings me here today.

    I made several payments on my small limit card ($300 limit) in both months I was using the card (my payments the second month were somewhere around $540) which seems like a small amount by most standards when talking credit card balances and debt. Then I got I’ll and ended up in the hospital for two weeks and recovering at home a third. I didn’t use my card at all during that three weeks. On the fourth week I went to use it and it was declined. I knew there was two thirds of the card available to spend. What could be the issue? I tried to log in to my account and it said it was locked. I called the company the next day and they said they closed the account that morning! But why?

    Why would a credit card company close an account who’s owner was making payments on it with more frequency than most folks with poor credit would. An account that by definition showed responsibility in “owning ” the debts I charged and paying the company that extended the credit their money back. Well, let me tell you the answer I got left my mouth wide and jaw slacked. Apparently I did something very wrong by paying them all the time. I was apparently supposed to pay the minimum payment only and rack up interest charges. Or anything that would have made them more money off me. Aside from the fifty dollars they got that month alone in fees to let me make the payments I did. That’s better than most interest on low limit cards!

    They locked, then closed my account with sending a single letter or alert on my email. The reason being was that I did the unimaginable. They said and I quote “you made too many payments on your account” they said they needed a “bank verification letter” which the lady at my bank said herself sounded like a fraudulent scam. But they never sent me anything requesting such a letter. They then locked my account so I couldn’t make a monthly payment by express or standard time frame nor could I use a different payment method to pay the payment. Keep in mind not a single one of my nine payment was ever returned, rejected or refunded by my bank. They all went through and credit one accepted each. Even the last two which they say were the two that apparently overdid it. They were all made from the same account. They say this is to protect their customers from fraud.

    How so? If it was fraud wouldn’t it be a different account paying on it each time? Wouldn’t it be rejected or charged back when the real owner saw the charges (of which there were enough they'd stand out on a bank statement) if the banking info was someone else’s? They took my last payments and accepted them and then locked my account leaving me with 200 available credit and a hundred dollars (PLUS MORE FEES) owed. A balance they would not let me pay because my account was locked. They charged me a late fee for no payment that last month as well. I took credit hits for nonpayment. And then another hit to my credit because they closed the account with a balance.

    All in all they made more money from me in the first two months than they do on most customers (I’d assume) in the first year even. All in all, financially speaking they profited off of me 75$ annual fee, 35$ activation fee, nine 10$ express payment fees (90$) and the 35$ late fee they charged after refusing to let me make a payment. A grand total of $235 in fees they collected in the two months as one of their “valued customers” not to mention the serious damage they did to my credit. All the points I was able to gain my score dropped double that amount. I’d say be cautious. For some folks it seems to work. For myself. It did not.

    I opened my account with Credit One about 6 1/2 years ago to build my credit back up. In that time I never missed a payment. The fees are high and obviously so is the interest rate but I never complained about it. Well this past weekend I made a purchase and the invoice that was sent had the wrong products on it. I tried to contact the retailer multiple times by phone, email, and even on Facebook but I received no response. Naturally I called my credit card company whose card I made the purchase with and explained the situation. I was told that since the charge is pending there is nothing they could do and that I would need to file a dispute once the charge goes through. I explained that the charge is no longer authorized because the items listed are not correct and that I have no way to contact the seller.

    My assumption was that like any other credit card company I could file a dispute over the phone, or very least by email as I've had to do that before with other credit card companies, but I was wrong. They said the ONLY way to file a dispute was by mail. I work on the road 6 days a week and travel to different states for work. Not only was this request unreasonable but the company states it's a "TECHNOLOGY AND DATA DRIVEN" company. I was told they do have email but not for this. I was baffled. I asked to be transferred to a supervisor. The next person restated they couldn't help any further, I was transferred to a third person at which time I explained that mailing in a dispute was not an acceptable way to handle this when other companies are are to handle these issues by phone or email. I then explained that if I was unable to be helped that closing my account would probably be the best option. I was told, "That would be fine. You tell us what you decide".

    A 6 1/2 year customer and not a single care about keeping them! I spoke to a fourth person and they again said there was no way to help me but they would be more than happy to close my account. He had it done within a minute. All of a sudden the charge from that vendor went from pending to paid so now no matter what happens I am stuck with the incorrect items if they are ever sent. Moral of the story...CREDIT ONE is happy to take your money but purposely makes customer service as inconvenient as possible.

    I received a card from Credit one and the credit limit they said would be 500 and it was 300... I paid the 39.00 fee then asked for another authorized user... They charged me 19.00. Later they then locked the card saying I was under investigation... I couldn't even use the card...then I couldn't make a payment because of the investigation...then charged me a late fee...so I got a call that they locked and basically now I am out of 80.00 because I had to shut the card down...
