Green Dot primor® Visa® Gold Secured Credit Card

Can't get through to anyone live at any number posted. NO EMV CHIP has me very concerned. Wanted to increase balance, but doesn't seem safe without chip. Going to get a secured card through a bigger bank and then cancel this one. Hopefully deposit funds will be returned timely. Too many recent bad reviews.

do not apply for this card unless you have money to waste.  customer service is horrible and i honestly have never had customer service issues with anything ive bought or needed help with. i canceled the card within a month due to what they said was a fraud block. i needed to put gas in my truck and was almost left stranded.  they said my remaining funds will be sent my check in the mail within4-8weeks.

I applied for this card because cards-offer highly recommended it.   After waiting over a month to receive it, I activated it and used it one time.   I then spent another month trying to pay for the purchase and $49 fee, but to no avail.   It wouldn’t allow me to pay online, it said my info didn’t match when I tried to pay by phone, THEN it wouldn’t even give me the option to pay by phone, only to mail a check to Texas.  Calls to the NJ number have not been returned as of yet.  Looks like I’m out $300, plus whatever fees they add on AND they’ve f’d my credit up.   I was into the 700s, now I’m in the 500s...  thanks cards-offer.....  great recommendation.

Their system is totally outdated, no such thing as easy payments, they want you to verify your bank account everytime you make a payment. I gave them 2000 to secure the account. Cannot use card over seas, traveling anywhere is a nightmare for approvals - they will not approve out of your area. Noone available after 5 pm if you have an emergency or on weekends. After 3 months i closed the account

A lot of people are saying it boosted their credit quickly...that is true--my scores went up between 70-80 points very quickly (within 2 months). I was then able to qualify for unsecured cards with higher limits. However, after a few months I paid off the balance and closed the card (no longer needed $600 tied up). It's been about 6 or 7 weeks since I closed the account and I'm still waiting for my money back. The card will definately help re-build your credit but don't send them any money you might need later. It will take forever to get it back.

Customer service is only open Mon-Fri, and they’re rude.  You have to submit a bank statement to them when you make a payment to show that it’s from your bank account and it takes forever to load the funds to your card.  They say they emailed things to you, but they don’t.  And they don’t have an app to track your account.

This card was a blessing. Had card since June 2018 and it boostes my score already by 100 pts. It opened the doors for new opportunities that I am approved for. Customer service is a 3

I applied and got this card when it was originally Berkshire and i got it fairly easy. No credit pull. Put down $500. You have to pay your due date around 10 days early and payments take that long to hit your availble credit. Got it when my scores hit rock bottom around 530 and gave me a 52 point boost in one month. Pay on time and it will do what it says for rebuilding your credit. Customer service is terrible now that the company was brought out by Green dot. It was great when it was owned by Berkshire. My experience with Green dot came about when my CC expired July 31st I was on a project outside of my home state and needed the card sent to me in California 7 customer service reps , 5 supervisors and 1 hour and half conversation with the fraud department and 4 lost credit cards sent to the wrong address (my home address despite me confirming each and every time the address in California. So customer service, its a joke. 2 stars because it did give me a boost, but after that it's been all down hill. Even added the mailing address to my credit report in California, despite it being a temporary address. Terrible

Stay away. After you make a payment ,they freeze your account until you can verify your bank account. The payment was pulled from my bank ,isn't that proof?
Now , the account is closed and I have a late payment, but they owe me money. Go figure.

It is not acceptable at car rental companies as credit card.

It took me nearly 3 months to get it. But the card does work.
