My go score is available on the 3rd day of some months and the 16th of other months. Therefore it can be upwards of 6 weeks between updated scores. Once I scheduled a payment for my regular due date about ten days early. Meanwhile some charges came through the account that I forgot about so I tried to make an additional immediate payment in order to prevent going over my limit but I was not allowed to do so.

Merrick contacted me to let me know there was fraudulent activity potentially occurring through unauthorized purchases on my credit card. I verified that the purchases were not mine and they confirmed on their end that the purchases would not be authorized. They’re sending me a new Merrick card in the mail. The two employees from Merrick I talked to were polite, helpful and swift in resolving my issue and offering solutions.

After being approved and using my card for travel, I was able to log in and access my account online. The Merrick site is eye catching, user friendly and easy to navigate!

Haven’t been with you that long. So far so good. I guess it’s my fault for not reading over my agreement and accepting guidelines. So I think I was late on first payment. Which unfortunately I really could have used a higher credit limit. All in good time I guess.

Satisfied with experience. I would like a greater credit line, considering the length of time I had the card, also, I believe that the annual fee should be removed. I like the credit card and continue to use it, but, the credit line leaves something to be desired. It would be nice to receive a credit line increase of $5,000.00 or more.

I needed assistance freezing a misplaced card and the service advisor was super helpful.

The service provided was excellent.

Was promised double my credit amount. I’ve made on time payment. I requested an increase and got $200 increase. My limit was $600. Just false promise of the reason I signed up. I called about it and it’s because my autopay glitched and didn’t pull out of my account like it was supposed to. So I made on time payment for 6+months. And I got $200 increase, not the double. It’s just poor experience especially when I’ve paid on time and have used the card. Also you would NOT get rid of the late payment. Even though it was an issue with your system.

The relationship between myself and the company is still new. Decent start to the credit line and I will patiently wait for the credit line to be doubled within 1 year per the agreement. If that does happen I will keep my end of the deal and make all payments on time and promote the company with even more positive reviews.

Merrick is very transparent about your credit and billing and also offers solid advice on rebuilding your credit.

I highly recommend merrick bank to anyone looking for a good credit card which also rewards you for paying on time.

Their app is very easy to use and comes with a free fico score review every month. Talking to their customer service is also usually very easy. You can apply for a credit increase every 6 months.

Merrick was the first bank that allowed me the chance to rebuild my credit after an unfortunate business bankruptcy. They even raised my credit limit because I've kept my payments on time. The only thing I'm sad about is that they changed the Visa to Mastercard. I'm very grateful to Merrick Bank.

Every time I try to make a payment with my card it takes the money out then puts it right back into my account and shows that I haven't paid. I make my payments early every month and it doesn't show that I make any with your company! I don't like that especially because it brings my credit score down.

I like the ease of how my bill has been easy to pay online and I appreciate the credit line increases. But what I HATE is dealing with overseas call centers for customer service. I don't understand how you guys cannot use US BASED call centers because when I first started with you guys that's who I talk to but then they told me that you guys opened up overseas call centers instead as an option which should have never been done-- I don't understand them and it frustrates me when the US BASED call center worked great before and made your company stand it and I told my friends about your card during that time but since then I have that bad decision to open up foreign base call centers I have not mentioned your card to anyone.

I might not recommend to friends because they can get lower interest rates and I cannot. So maybe if the right person came along. I took this card because you let me. At a significantly higher interest rate. But as far as service, it's been very nice. I'm very glad to have this card.

I am fairly happy with Merrick Bank, great customer service, always super helpful when I need to contact a consumer representative. My only wish is there was a faster way to increase my credit line, like an auto 3 to 6 month increase or a way to increase our levels to bypass the monthly service fees, these can be quite annoying when you pay your card off and then get another bill for $4.00.

I've only been a customer of Merrick for 2 months so far and I've had zero issues. I'd definitely recommend to a friend. It's even no hassle to pay the bill.

I’ve had Merrick for about 5 years, for the last year my card had a block on it due to suspicious activity. I was working 80+ hours a week due to staffing issues around this time and wasn’t able to get the information together that they needed. About a month ago I was able to call them, get them the information and they unblocked my account. Today I received a letter stating they closed my account due to inactivity and it was not allowed to be reopened. I had no balance on it, I was never late with my payment up until it was blocked I used it regularly and that’s how they treated me (they didn’t even give me a warning that it would be closed). When I called, I was treated like I was this horrible person. I won’t use this bank again! I honestly have better credit cards than Merrick Bank, it’s just the point that this is how they treat their customers that pay on time.

I've been a customer for more than 7 years with this company. I received a letter yesterday stating that my account had been canceled due to no activity. This was done with no warning whatsoever and will have a negative affect on my credit rating I currently have good credit. I called the representative with absolutely no help from him and he agreed that they should send out warning letters that your account will be in risk of being canceled if you did not use your card. I've never had this happen in 40 years of having credit and credit cards from other companies. Everyone needs to be aware of hidden policies that these companies have.

I think it was a Fraud department Representative and he transfer me to a new card department and that's when the nightmare started and I was waiting forever. Nobody pickup the phone for an hour and then somebody pick up the phone and I said hello and then they hang up the phone on me. I felt insulted by a Merrick Bank representative.

When I accepted your card, I did so thinking that I would get a decent credit line increase, if I paid in a timely manner. Keeping my balance at 30% doesn't allow me to do much of anything when I'm traveling. If I had to do it all over again, I would not have accepted your pre approval..

It takes several days to get a notification that my card has been used for a purchase. I have other credit cards with other banks and I get notifications in a few seconds after I make a purchase. When it takes days to get notification from Merrick Bank I have to think to myself, did I make that purchase or does someone have my account info and making unauthorized purchases. So if Merrick Bank could speed up how long it takes to get notification of each purchase that would make me give a 5 star.

Easy card to get, although expensive. I would suggest you offer incentives to those who pay on time, like annual fee waiver, you are already getting an incredibly high interest rate, perhaps those who pay on time, get a rate reduction as an incentive to stay on target, the credit bureaus are not so generous.

I actually really like my Merrick Bank Card. I like the fact that I can see my credit score and review ways to improve it.

Everything else is great.

The interest rates that Merrick Bank charges should be reviewed carefully. They start off with a low interest rate then gradually increase it even with excellent credit and no missed payments, a 30% interest rate on purchases is unreasonable and ridiculous.

Beware of Merrick Bank business tactics. First, if you schedule a payment on their website, they will hide the scheduled payment from you on their website in an effort to get additional payment. Second, if you enroll in automatic notices, they will NOT send you reminders so they can hit you for late fees. Third, their monthly fees, even if you have no balance, is usurious and should be prohibited.
