mburnett's review:
Applied 8/2011 - Instant Approval
$320 limit - 19% APR - 39 annual fee charged on first bill
Avg credit score was 540.
$60k+ income
$150k+ in debt (student loans)
6 derogs
1 judgement
No BK
Feb 2012 got a CLI for $100. Only carried a balance 2/6 first mos ($150 avg) otherwise, I paid the balance off in full.
EXP on March 2012 was 600. No late payments since on any accts since 6/2011. A good rebuilder if you can budget and keep the balance low. Customer service is hit or miss but still friendly, definitely overseas. Payment system is effortless. Hoping to be around 650 avg credit score by Dec 2012. Will probably keep this card for a while.

Good work. It takes time and patience to build back from credit challenges. Usually a couple of good years helps.
