Credit One Bank® Visa® with Free Credit Score Tracking review
Apply online for this card in less than 60 seconds, without harming your credit score. Monthly credit score tracking is included for free, and Credit One Bank offers flexible payment dates to help you make your payment on time. With the card, you can expect up to a $75 annual fee in the first year, and up to a $99 annual fee each additional year. The minimum credit line is $300, and the purchase APR ranges from 19.15% to 25.24% variable.
Credit One Bank starts with a pre-approval process. While their website does not have a page that explains each individual available card, the pre-approval process can match you up with a card that you qualify for. And the pre-approval process will not affect your credit score.

The nuts and bolts

- Credit limit. Your minimum credit limit will be $300 if approved.
- Transaction fees. Transaction fees depend on the account. For cash advances, you can expect a $5 fee, or 8% of the cash advance amount, whichever is greater. Or you may have to pay $10 or 3% of each cash advance amount, whichever is greater.
