pillo's review: 
Well I had to ditch one of my old credit cards because the issuer decided to start charging an annual phee. Since I already had a reward credit card I decide to try for a couple low interest rate cards but got rejected by a major issuer as well as a small independent bank. Later on that year I was buying gear for my camping trip at REI and saw that they had a card. Every year I spend at least a couple hundred dollars at REI and was already a member so I figure this card would be good for me at least to show off to my backpacking friends. I applied on line and got approved but they kept on suspending my application because they didn't believe it was me. Then when I finally got the card they called a week later telling me the account number had been stolen, made me answer more security questions and then issue a new card to me.

Strange. Since this is US Bank... it should be a good card.
