I got the card last year and have been using then making my payments on time and my credit has started to improve. I recommend this to anyone wanting to build their credit. I'm hoping to have my credit limit go up on the card soon.

I received my card quite quickly, the approval was fast and I'm so glad I have it. I make my payments on time and try to make more then one payment to stay ahead.

Horrible!
Credit Karma Member

I cancelled my card do to the high interesrrates! They did not return my original deposit, even though I had paid off completely. The sent me a check for $6.00. I reported them to Ohio Attorney General office. I have heard nothing back from First Progress about my refund.

Charged twice for deposit
Credit Karma Member

I paid $1000 for the deposit and was charged twice. Now the only way I can get a refund is to send a letter and wait for then to "research" it. I'm now opening a case with small claims and BBB. This is a completely predatory and dangerous business. Customer service was rude and incompetent.

Easy and straightforward
Credit Karma Member

This card is simple. You submit a deposit. It takes a couple weeks for your card to come in. If you pay your bill before they apply the interest you only pay what you have spent. If you wait to pay on the due date you will pay interest. If you don't pay your bill then your credit will be knocked. So it's simple. I have had no problems.
