Creditnet's Expert Rating & Review

Expert Rating: 4.30 / 5 stars
Favorite Card Features:

We like a credit card for fair credit that's low-maintenance and easy to use. This card from Capital One checks off both of those boxes.

Least Favorite Features:

This card is no-frills, but it's potential as a tool for building credit outweigh the fact that there's no rewards program. 

Our Final Take:

If you're a consumer with fair-to-average or limited credit that's serious about building up their history (and their score), than this simple card from Capital One is an excellent choice to consider. If you'd like a similar offer with cash back opportunities, than check out Capital One® Cash Rewards for Newcomers.
