I got approved for a Blaze mastercard and would never recommend them to anyone. Supposedly, there was a security issue and my account got locked. However, there was nothing that looked like it would cause a security risk. When I called, they told me I need to send a clean copy of my Driver's license and social security card through the mail to get it unlocked. According to them, there is no other way to secure the account. I am not going to do that so I have an unusable card that has an annual fee. I will end up closing the account after paying it off as I don't want to pay an annual fee for an unusable card.

The card doesn't allow more than 1 electronic bank payment in a billing cycle. If you find that you can pay more of your balance down and want to make an additional payment you have to go through one of the transfer whores like Money gram or Western Union. Making you pay an exorbitant fee to pay an already high interest rate, I can pay my Capital One and Discover cards 20 times a month without questions or fees. Needless to say my account is now closed. Stay away unless you're desperate!

I have never had a card that charges you an annual fee before you even have an active card, I haven’t even received a card. But they have charged me an annual fee and it is due in 14 days! I called customer service and was told they charge the fee as soon as you are approved for an account, how ridiculous.This is not a good start nor a good look for any card. I’m not paying an annual fee before I have in my possession a working activated card. I am not impressed.

I had 2 charges that were fraudulent. I reported them. The credit card was in my possession. I did NOT make these charges. I was not Refunded !!! I was told the charges were made using a chip and it is not possible to duplicate it. Well guess what it is possible bc I had the card and I didn’t go to another state to food shop and liquor store. This is bad business. I closed my account. It was little over $70.00. Unbelievable!!!!

So I use to have a 720 + across the board until the pandemic and had to max out all the cards during the pandemic. Well, after paying most off except one and making consistent payments by score went from a 490 to back up to a 600 so the cards offers have been coming in.
Well Blaze comes in with the pre-approved and I applied for several others (Milestone, Merrick, and Reflex)
ALL approved. Go to sign up for this one and denied.
One thing I dont mind is credit hits for successful pre-approved... but when all these others approve and BLAZE is the only one NOT to I get a tad salty.
I see from recent ratings I am probably better off, but it still irks me, that they would send an offer and pre-approval and then deny me.
Stay away... and when Im back up to a 720 BLAZE do not send me another offer.
Kick Rocks.

I have no debit card, im on SSDI and my bills are paid through a payee, the payee paid my bill and it got bounced back for not having 75 cents in the account.
Blaze said i had to pay with a check or debit card and I have neither and my neither does my payee for my account.
I told them to close the account (a month before the $75 annual fee) and they said SURE NO PROBLEM without even trying to help me. so I dont plan to pay them and I'll eat the collection on my credit since they have my address as the social services place that handles my bill payments.
Good luck to them collecting.

I started out rebuilding my credit 10 months ago. I was approved for the Blaze card 6 months ago and just today was given a credit limit increase. A screen came up when checking my account that said it was time to review for an increase. I filled out the info and was approved right away. I started with 350 and it is now 600. Not a huge increase, but Blaze has been easy to work with. Payments go through quickly and easily. Increase as stated. Customer Service has been helpful when I needed it. For those that are rebuilding, it is a good card.

Have had this card for about 3 yrs and have yet to get an increase. In fact, I have been turned down every time I asked. I pay my bill on time every month and currently have a "0" balance. I see by the posts I am not the only one without an increase and there are varied credit scores. The ads all say an increase is possible after 5 months of on-time payments and account in good standing...obviously they forgot to list some other requirements since increases aren't happening...LOL

So I have used this and paid $250 on the bill leaving it with a $57 balance. Well the payment posted and I gave it a week before using it again. How did I only use $37 and now I only have a $5 availability? Then look in the faqs and you think it's OK to hold funds even after it posted? I'm really starting to regret getting this card. No other card I have does this and now I see why people don't want to use your company. BAD FUCKING BUSINESS. GET IT TO FUCKING GETHER

It is a good card to help build your credit and generally easy to qualify for...but they have a horrible website and half the time my payments don't go thru using the website when I think they have they don't send a notice or shows a message that the payment wasn't posted when you go on and check your account after a payment is due. Honestly it misleads you to think your payment posted because when you miss a payment the next payment date is shown and then you will notice your minimum monthly payment his high than it should be. From there you have to go to transaction page and will find you missed a payment and was charged a fee. I don't ever get an email or alerts. And the customer service never works with you when you explain that you thought you set up a payment. I know they can see that you logged on and what pages you visit on their site! This happened to me 2x and I canceled. Be careful!

Got the card, activated the card 2 hours later went to use the card at Walgreens and it said NOT AUTHORIZED....WTF? I called customer service she said my card was active and it shows nothing of being denied and that ot could be the Walgreens terminal. So I went to a different terminal and tried it again. NOPE still said NOT AUTHORIZED! Called customer service AGAIN....they said there was nothing wrong the the card nothing is even showing up on there system that I even used it yet and said it HAD to be Walgreens systems. And OFCOURSE walgreens said its not there system that the card just isnt working and it had to be the CARD! So customer service said they will cancel the card I received and send me out a new card....fingers crossed they send it and it will work!!! So frustrating!

I have had this card for 3 years. It has been ok, but I am beginning to eliminate my cards that have an annual fee. For those of you who don’t know, they only give credit line increases once a year. You have to request it from the full website. If you are eligible, it will list credit line increase under services. If you don’t see that, you are not eligible. If you are trying to rebuild your credit, then this is a good card to get started, but if you are hoping for a high credit limit, you will be disappointed.

DO NOT USE THIS CARD COMPANY. I had a restaurant charge me the wrong amount. I made the mistake of calling the credit card company before trying to call the restaurant. I was told by the credit card company that they would handle it and there was no need to reach out to the restaurant at that time. The credit card company then filed a a dispute against the wrong company. In my statement I had two charges for the same amount at two different places. Blaze filed the dispute against the wrong charge.
They then alert me that my dispute was invalid.
I contacted and told them they had filed against the wrong company.
Blaze again told me they would handle it.
Then, I get a letter telling me I could not dispute the charge since I used the card at the restaurant. FOR FOUR MONTHS NOW, I have been trying to get this resolved.
I called them Saturday and was told I would need to speak to someone in the Fraud department and was chastised for not calling the restaurant first. They ignored everything I have previously told them again, and they also ignored everything they had already told me. They said they could not handle it any further until the fraud department was back open.
I called the restaurant multiple times but have been unable to get a manager to call me back. I wanted to give it a few attempts before reaching back out to Blaze. I call Blaze today to let them know I was having a hard time getting in touch with a manager at the restaurant and that I needed to speak with someone in the fraud department. I am then told that customers must be called by the fraud department, and cannot be transferred to the fraud department. I get upset at their lack of attention to detail and misleading guidance and bring that to the attention of the "service" agent on the phone with me. She gets defensive and tell me to stop talking, so she can explain the process. After her explanation I ask again to have someone from the fraud department to call me. She then changes her story and says customers are not allowed to have any conversations with the fraud department and that all fraud issues are handled by their communications to the fraud department. Four months of misleading information, four months of poorly trained and MOODY customer service agents...will be paying this account off in full soon and sending complaints to both the house and senate oversight committees

I got approved for a blaze unsecured mastercard with a score of 572...the only thing I don't like is the high apr, but if you pay in full, there is no interest...also, they offer soft pull cli's after 6 months, once you make a payment they immediately make the credit available, plus they make the min pay high enough so at least a good portion goes to the principle of your balance...the ann fee of 75 was high, but they will work with you to retain your business...for example, as a new customer I got a $25 credit, not a lot, but at least it was something...customer service has always been very good.

Was easy to get the card BUT if there is a problem with something you bought with the card, they refuse to make it right. I bought an item that was defective, returned it to the place I bought it, was told I would get a refund, never happened. Filed a complaint with The Blaze customer support, they refused to credit my account unless I produced a receipt showing I returned it. WHAT RECIEPT?? I don't get a receipt when I give it to the mailman!! The company I bought the product from is no longer in business so I have been screwed twice!!

"Pre-Approved" offers come in the mail, I take the time to fill them out. They all say at the end:
"...Wait 2-4 Weeks for processing your credit form your credit Limit will be determined at that time. "When" APPROVED"... [Never "if"...Remember it's Pre-Approved] You will receive..."
This one was NO DIFFERENT. And Each time my credit seems to tank a bit lower!

I applied not thinking I would get it. I got a 500 dollar limit. The 75 dollar annual fee is a lot, but they approved me, so it helped out.

I applied online for the Blaze card, never expecting to be approved. I was approved instantly with a score of 526 and given a limit of $350 with a $75 annual fee and 29% interest. I was approved on October 23rd (a Friday, I believe) and recieved the card on the 26th. The fee had already been charged and my statement came online on the 28th. I paid in full immediately, well before the due date. I also made two customer service calls - you have to go through quite a few prompts to get to an agent - but when you do it's a friendly and helpful English-speaking person. Only had the card a week or so but so far I've had a good experience with Blaze. I'm thankful they took a chance on me and I will be charging only about fifty dollars a month and paying in full as soon as I get my statement and will give it about 6 months of on-time/in full payments before I ask for an increase.

Snail mail pre-approval. applied. approved. $75 annual fee, but late fees are only up to $25 (better than most other cards). 29% interest, but well worth it to rebuild credit. My pay history was as good as possible prior to the bankruptcy (not many late payments b/c sudden loss of income) ... not sure if they looked at that. Overall, very satisfied with the opportunity to rebuild. Benefits and customer service rating is not accurate. I haven't had the card long enough to rate so gave generic 3 stars.

Credit score of upper 500s to low 600s and was approved for $750 (minimum of $350). Annual fee of $50 with APR of 22.9%. Was sent pre-approval letter in mail. Easy online payment/account access, but can only make 2 ACH/online payments per statement cycle. You can make additional debit card payments with customer service rep for $3.95 each.
Plan to use and pay off each month to improve score, so interest won't be an issue. I figure after about 6 months, I should start seeing increases as I zero out each month.

I paid alot of fees to get this card to rebuild my credit score. They said in the letter that you would get credit line in crease after 4 on maybe 6 on time payments. When i called to inquire they said oh , it goes by your score. That not what the letter said. Capital One told me normally it half of your credit increase wen met time requirements . Which is done once a year. Only if you like a larger increase do they pull credit. So why are they charging all these fees ? I am going to register 3 complaints , cause to me that is most like maybe advertising fraud possible. I let the proper organizations investigate it.

THIS IS A TOTAL FRAUD.. THEY SEND YOU LETTER AT HOME STATING THAT YOU ARE PRE-APPROVED, BUT WHEN YOU APPLY ONLINE.. IT GET DECLINED. WHEN SPOKE WITH CUSTOMER SERVICE REP.. HE STATED THAT WELL " PRE-APPROVED" DOESNT MEAN ... THAT YOU ARE APPROVED FOR A CREDIT CARD... ITS MEAN YOU CAN APPLY. NEVER DEALT WITH ANY COMPUTER WHO LIES TO GET YOU APPLY AND PULL YOU CREDIT. IF I WOULD HAVE KNOWN THIS BEFORE..I WOULD HAVE NEVER LET THEM PULL MY CREDIT. THIS IS TOTALLY FRAUD AND THEY NEED TO STOP DOING THIS RIGHT AWAY. I HAVE SEEN LETTER STATING PRE-SELECTED... BUT NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS.. PRE-APPROVED..BUT SORRY YOU APPLICATION IS DECLINED. BULL SHIT.. THIS IS WHAT YOU CANN STILL YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION.

After a nasty divorce, I saw my score go from high 700s to 650ish. I got the pre-approved mail and was approved for the card when I applied. It was not an instant approval and I had to give proof of my identity and verify my address. But I was approved for $1500.
They do report to all 3 credit bureaus. Also, the credit limit is higher than other cards I have gotten like credit one.

5 months after discharge from my Chapter 7 bankruptcy, I got a pre-approved mail from Blaze. I applied and got approved for $1000 limit. Annual fee was $50 and the interest rate was like 21% or 22%. I pay in full every month so that does not bother me.
From my research, it looks like I got a decent deal compared to other cards being offered to me.

I had a couple of charge offs about 3 years ago and most companies denied me whenever I applied. I got 2 mails, one from blaze and the other from first savings bank. Both came with a $75 annual fee. I bit the bullet and applied for both and was approved for $1500 each. So I end up paying $150 in total annual fees for $3000 in credit lines. So far, I have no complaints.

I have this card for over a year and never had any problems with it. One piece of advice though, it is best to pay your bills via your bank account. I find that if you write a check, they do not apply it in a timely fashion and there is sometimes a hold on your payment for a few days. With bank transfer, it clears within a day.

I started off with an initial credit limit of $350 and also an annual fee of $75. After 6 months, I actually received a mail from blaze that I was pre-approved for a credit line increase. I had to log into my account and went to a tab where I had to update my income and how much I was paying on my mortgage or rent. My income then was $65,000 and I was paying $600 a month on the home. I was approved for a $250 increase. There was a soft pull though in Transunion.

I had a $19.99 unauthorized charge and I could not even dispute it. Was lucky it was only this small amount. I just sucked it up and will be cancelling my card.

This was one of the cards where I had gotten a pre-approved mail during my rebuilding period. I applied but was not approved immediately. I had to mail copies of my mortgage, utility bills, driver license etc. When I got the card, I was only approved for a measly $350 and slapped with a $75 annual fee.

I have this card. Mine came with a $75 annual fee and a $300 limit. I got the card 2 weeks later in the mail and paid off the $75 annual fee immediately (BTW - that charge appears when you get your card). I spend about $20 on the card and pay it off in full every month. They do have a grace period unlike some other sub-prime cards. As far as the card goes, it is better than many others (like First Premier).

I filed for BK7 due to medical bills. Am giving this a 5-star because they approved my application. I was actually quite surprised to see a pre-approved mail in my mailbox. I got a $300 and I am slowly trying to rebuild my credit.

I overextended myself during the housing bubble and paid the price after the collapse. My credit score went down and I got rejected by many cards. When I got a pre-approved mail from blaze, I was a little skeptical. But I pulled the trigger nevertheless and was approved. The card arrived in about 2 weeks and they already charge the $75 annual fee.
After doing my research, I was actually glad I was approved for this card. I realized that there are many other cards targeted at folks like me that charge stupid high fees. Makes this card look good.

I got pre-approved mails for both the First Savings and Blaze. I applied and got approved for both ($1,500 limit on both as well). I do not carry any balance so the interest rate does not bother me at all.
After 6 months, my scores have gone up by 60 points.

I was discharged from BK7 about 18 months ago and I got rid of $30k of credit card from issuers like Citi and Capital One (looks like I will be on their bad books for quite a while). A couple of weeks after the discharged, I applied and got approved for the Opensky secured card. After a year, I applied for Credit One and got approved. The annual fee I got was $75 and I got a $500 limit. After six months, I got a $200 limit increase. Then I got the pre-approved mail and decided to apply for the blaze. I got approved for $350 with a $75 fee.
I will be on gardening for a while and use these three cards to rebuild my credit.

I got the $19 version with a 22.15% APR. The limit I got was $1,500. This is actually not a bad limit considering that my Credit One only started me with $300 (though I did get a couple of increases).
