Credit One Bank® Unsecured Visa® with Free Credit Score Access review

With the Credit One Bank Unsecured Visa, a bad credit score doesn’t mean you’re exiled from earning rewards—you’ll earn a flat 1 percent cash back on eligible purchases.

The Unsecured Visa charges an annual fee between $0 to $99, depending on your credit score range. Unfortunately, some accounts will be billed the annual fee in 12 equal portion-split each month, whereas others will receive one annual bill in the full amount. In order to prevent any surprises that may put your account in delinquency, make sure to budget for a $99 annual fee payment at the end of your first year.

Responsible card usage will benefit you thanks to regular account reviewing for credit line increases. If you qualify, Credit One Bank will notify you.

The card also offers free access to your Experian credit score and credit report summary through your online account (terms apply).

With the card’s zero fraud liability protection, you won’t be held responsible should your information be compromised and any unauthorized charges be made. You’ll also receive free Credit One Fraud Alerts messages should the issuer suspect any fraudulent activity in your account.

How to redeem rewards

You’ll automatically receive your cash back rewards in the form of statement credit. Keep in mind you won’t earn rewards on cash advances or fees or while your account is delinquent.
