yoyo11's review: 
And of course I applied for it. It's a Juniper Visa, offered by Barclays but not the iTunes card. 7.99% apr Fixed no annual fee. Approved for $500. I can't complain... About the limit. This is the only prime card I have that's with my Cap1, Orchard Card. I don't know if your guys remember, but I did apply for a Barclays bank card about 6 months ago and got denied.
My BK was in 03, started with a 1st Preimer card two years ago which at that time my score was 500. Now Barclays used TransUnion... My Fico is 645.
This card also give me free scores and credit reports with TrueCredit. (have to have the card for 30days).

Awesome, Yoyo! Awesome!
I have the same history as you, and the same FICO, but I have yet to be approved for a Barclay's.

You go girl. I answered your posting on the thread, but at the time I was not aware of which card it was. I have not heard much of cli's on this one but then again, I have the Travelocity. They are heck of stingy. Keep us posted about this card in the comments and on the thread you started so that we can spread the word to those who have questions.
I am so happy for you YoYo11, keep up the positive work!

It seems that Juniper has the same deal for both the Mastercard and Visa, 7.99% apr, free access to truecredit scores serviced by TU. Yoyo did they offer a design for you?????
I have the MasterCard and I chose the translucent colored one. I have to say I neverheard of the Visa and I am wondering are they in the same bracket or is one made fo someone that fits a certain criteria.

You are right. I picked the same card you did... They don't have must to choose from. It's called " Platinum Mastercard"

Enjoy your new card, please keep us informed via the forum. I've been getting preapproved offers from them, but I'm apprehensive.

Juniper Mastercard Platinum on 2008-11-15
Received the same pre-approvals with rates that were as low as a fixed 7.9%. I too was apprehensive but took the gamble. I like their card and the True Credit Risk Assessment along with the other credit reporting. They have offered me a temporary rate since 09/2008 at 3.9% for purchases. Hey take a chance!
