Credit One Bank is a financial services company that works with consumers looking to establish and rebuild credit. The company specializes in credit monitoring with its free online monthly credit score tracking for members as well as an optional Credit Protection Program. Since opening in 1984, Credit One Bank has served millions of card members nationwide. The bank currently offers three Visa credit cards:
In most cases, card members get 1 percent cash back rewards for eligible purchases. Some account holders get 1.1 percent back on dining purchases. Cash back purchase categories depend on your eligibility and your card, but Credit One Bank offers cards with cash back rewards in these categories where eligible:
Account members with the NASCAR Visa card get cash back rewards in these categories where eligible:
All qualifying rewards post to your account automatically.
In addition to cash back rewards, Credit One Bank credit card holders enjoy several other benefits at no additional cost:
Credit One Bank offers an optional Credit Protection Program that helps make your payments if you experience involuntary unemployment or disability and includes a loss of life benefit. The program costs $0.96 per $100 of your new balance each month.
With Credit One Bank, foreign transactions incur a fee of either $1 or 3 percent for each purchase in U.S. dollars, whichever is greater. This fee is problematic for U.S. citizens living abroad and is an important consideration for frequent travelers.
Credit One Bank automatically looks for credit line increase opportunities, which is useful, but a fee may apply for this service. The bank doesn’t specify if you can opt out of this service and its accompanying fees.
Potential enrollees in the Credit Protection Program should be aware that if you work less than 20 hours per week you are ineligible for unemployment benefits. In addition, only the primary cardholder is protected and you cannot use your card while receiving benefits.
Credit One Bank has impressive rewards programs, credit score tracking, and fraud safeguards like EMV chip technology and 24/7 account monitoring. As an added perk, you can choose from over 20 card designs to give your card some personality.
Since the cards are Visa, Credit One Bank cards are accepted at most merchants worldwide. However, every foreign purchase incurs a fee that can quickly counter the cash back rewards, so the card is best used in the United States.
