Worthless
July 10, 2022

The only card I know of that cancels your card with no notice for being inactive... Absolutely worthless being they charge astronomical monthly fees...
And their customer service is horrible as well! Go with another card if you can!

I have been with this card company for 7yrs and I haven't had a problem unti now. I have several charges on my account that I didn't authorize. I filed a dispute and my claim was denied. I hope they will resolve this issue. I hope this is a good company. I will post another review after a week to let you know what happened

I cancelled my online bank account with Achieve Card. At the time I closed the account because their service over the last four years has been HORRIBLE, I moved. When I closed the account I advised the representative that I moved and to send my remaining balance to my new address and he agreed. I called back to see when and if the my check was mailed out and then is when I was told that they can mail to the address I provided because that is not the address on file and for me to send in my license, ssn, and proof of residence. I advised the representative that I am an identity theft victim but I will send it. At that time I also advised the representative that I do not pay utilities as they are included in my rent. I emailed the items along with my lease and yet they still refuse to send me my money. It has been three months and after calling SEVERAL times a week for three months and getting an attorney and having the attorney communicate with them, they still refuse to send my money to my current address still stating they have to send it to the address they have on file which makes NO sense ESPECIALLY since I no longer live there so why send it there when I have furnished them everything they needed to send me my money.

I NEED MY MONEY! I AM NOT WORKING now with the Coronavirus outbreak and they are stealing my money! My next step[ is to that them to court. I SHOULD NOT have to pay money to get my money back from them but I will do it as I have been advised my attorney he will try again to contact them but it they do not comply we will sue them in small claims court.

They won't return our stolen money from March. We won the case. The virus has us out of work. We have no money, none. And they keep giving excuses everyday. Customer service is the worst, along with the supervisors. We're reporting Achieve Card to the BBB, and our lawyer will handle the rest. I also found out that once you win the case, regarding your stolen money, they have 10 in which to return your money. It's almost two months and nothing. See ya in court

My card was hacked and funds stolen over a month ago. They approved my dispute and placed my funds back onto the card they told me to dispose of, then the supposedly closed account was hacked again and my funds taken a second time by the same person. Now I fold second dispute they approve it and assure me a paper check will be issued. A month later no check and can't speak to a manager

It serves its purpose
March 29, 2019

I have had the card for about 8 years and have not had much of a problem with it. I usually get my deposits 2-4 days early with no problem. It only charges. 95 if you use it as debit so i would recommend always using as credit! And a plus about it is if you use it at the atm they tell you too on the 2nd of every month they credit your account back all the atm fees you used the prior month. The only problem is there is a monthly maintenance fee of 9.95 taken out on the 10th of every month. But due to always getting my checks early and getting credited the atm fees back, Im willing to accept the minor inconvenience...

Expecting a direct deposit and they close my card. Say they can't reopen it. They rejected my deposit and refuse to let me speak to a supervisor. Now I have to wait 5 weeks for a paper check. Rude customer service. If Karma is real, bankrupt they will be.

I added money just to book a hotel and rental. Someone else tried to book plane tickets. I didn't know that when i called to find out why $1 was debited and by who. They locked my card before i could tell them what i wanted to do. Then despite being out of town and needing my money for everything (food gas ect) they tell me i have to pay $29.99 and wait 3days for a new card because when i signed up i agreed to this. This is not how Visa is supposed to work from any company. They are saying because i choose their card i agreed to pay for fraud and have my family stranded and hungry for 3 days at a charge of $29.90! Is there a class action i can join or can we start one?

This company charges you so much for everything. Yes you get your paycheck quicker but when you call to ask a question they just repeat the same answers over and over. I'm sorry iblah blah blah. I'm sorry bllah blah blah. So I say get me your supervisor over and over again so that he would get it. My son thought that was so funny, They took away the points system and never let anyone know unless you look at their website which was almost impossible to get onto so I stopped using it. Never got a letter. I had not used any of my points so I had millions racked u p. But will they compensate for that noooo. With they fix charges on your card? No they will only apologize and tell you to figure it out. This is the worst card I have ever ever ever had and I will never use them again. ABSOLUTELY NO HELP WHEN NEEDED JUST RAMBLINGS OF THE SAME THINGS OVER AND OVER AGAIN.

Not Bad But...
November 23, 2017

I have had this card for a year and a half. I DO get my deposits early my company payday is monday and I usually get mine on Thurs Night around 830 or so. Sometimes tho it doesnt come until early Fri morning. I don't like the inconsistency but for the most part they are ok. I like being able to transfer from card to card but I DO NOT like paying 0.95 cents everytime I use it. Other than that they are ok as long as they put my money on there I am good no problems yet just need to eliminate those extra fees!
