corey's review: 
I opened my Continental MC in Oct. 2006. I was charged a lot of fees, but for a second chance at credit it's well worth it. The card does report to all 3 credit bureaus. The min. Payment is high...$50.00. Even on a $300 balance the payment is still $50.00.
At the end of the statement cycle, a $10 maintenance fee is charged, in addition to any finance charges. I generally pay my balance in full, so my finance charges are $0. If you pay by personal check, the available credit is held for 7 calendar days. The fastest and easiest thing to do is send in a USPS Money Order. I live in GA, and the payment goes to Tampa, FL. If I mail it on Monday, usually the credit is available on Wednesday.
Overall, I'd recommend this card to anyway that wants a second chance at credit. After 2 years of paying $10 a month maintenance fee, the only fee that will be charged is the Annual fee... And that's it.
I would recommend trying http://www.Orchardbank.com/ first... The fees are lower.
