When I originally applied for this card, I was approved for 750.00, but ended up getting 500 instead. I felt like I was lied to and no longer wanted to get the card, due to a bad start. Because I’m in the process of rebuilding my credit, I felt like I had to go ahead and use the card because of the fear of getting hit with another hard inquiry, applying for another one. Right now I just wish I wouldn’t have done it.

I've had this card for about a year and a half. I did pay the $125 fee. At first I was not going to do it but this was the only card that I could get at the time. I now the proud owner of a Capital One MC and Merrick Bank Visa Credit Cards. I received these after my credit score rose. I feel Verve has served it's purpose and I plan to close the account this year. It helped my credit score shoot up fast. I only charge small amounts to keep my credit score rising and pay the balance off each month. I also forgot that I have just recently received a pre-approved vehicle offer.

Customer service is bad. They do not even operate on weekends. The website sucks too. I closed my account after 1 year. On hindsight, there are much better cards out there.

When you get approved for the card, you get a bill with the $125 annual fee straight away. After one year, they increase my limit by $100. But my second year annual fee was $96 and they started charging me $10 a month! So it was like no increase at all?

After using this card for about 8 months, my score had increased about 60 points. I managed to get a Capital One card with $400 limit. I also cancelled this card just before the one year anniversary to avoid paying those fees during the second year. The trick is I only charged $20 a month on the card and paid everything in full every month.

I got approved with a score below 500 and had to deposit $150 for a $500 limit. When I called to activate the card, the representative asked me to pay immediately and took details of my bank account and routing number. I was told I did not have to pay immediately but if I did so, I due date would be pushed back 30 days and it was.

I got my card a year ago. They approved me for $500. The annual fee for the first year was ridiculous ($125) but I had no choice because no other cards approved me. As the second year approached, they will start charging you a monthly fee. When you add the annual fee on top of that, it works out to over $200 in fees alone. All for a crappy $500 limit. I called them to cancel and they did not even try to keep me as a customer (like reduce fees or anything like that)!

I had to rebuild my credit so I got this card and was approved. Just before one year was up, I called for a credit line increase. Customer rep told me that they would only increase the limit after one year. I guess they wanted to get my annual fee. I told them that would not work and she asked if I wanted to close the card! I said YES and closed it. It is amazing how they do not try to keep their customers by lowering their fees. I guess if anyone does not default on them, then they are pretty happy!

This is one of the cards that I got as I was repairing my credit. I also have Credit One and Fingerhut. Fingerhut was good in the sense that they did not charge any annual fee though you can only buy stuff from their stores. Credit One bank had lower fees than Verve and gave me an increase after six months.
For Verve, I was asked to put a $50 deposit for a $500 line. This card had the highest fees among all the cards I had. But together, they brought my score up by over 100 points over a year and a half.

I was rejected by almost every card that I applied for. I did not want to apply for a secured cards because I did not want to put down a large deposit. Verve approved me and despite the high fees, I used the card for a year and a half. There are other cards with lower fees. But this is the price of rebuilding your credit. Just charge a little a month and pay it off in full. Sooner or later, you will get offers when your score improves.

I got this card because it was unsecured. The grace period of 30 days is also good. They do report to the three bureaus and it serves it's purpose of rebuilding your credit.

Once you receive your card, you will get the bill for the annual fee. You should pay it off straight away. One thing you have to be aware of is that they will charge you little fees for everything. For example, if you receive paper statements, there is a fee of $4 I think. Best to log into your account and choose to receive bills via email.

I am giving this card a four star because of the credit limit I get. Yes, the fees are are high and you are billed $125 immediately when you get approved. But I had to do the same for First Premier (which had an application fee) and Credit One as well. But both first premier and credit one only started me off with $300. Verve gave $500 which allowed me to use the card more.

6 months after Bankruptcy
Posted 06/02 2017
I had a divorce and ended in bankruptcy. I applied 6 months after I was discharged and was approved for $500. I did have to put a $150 deposit though. The fees are high but I used the card simply to rebuild my credit. That means putting $30 a month on the card and paying it off in full. Once I started getting offers for lower fee cards, I applied and got approved for cards with much lower fees. I have since closed this account for it has served it's purpose.
