No good
May 23, 2023

I've been with them for years. Let's understand I'm using my own money. I've had them paid off. And they're still trying to hijack me For late fees! They have no compassion or understanding of anything that's happened with. Covid 19, loss of jobs. I do not recommend them. There are other avenues. For the past year. Is nothing but problems. Their customer service. Needs customer service skills. My balance was $6 they still said I had a late fee. I still had a hundred and ninety 4 dollars in credit. They're nuts Now they're saying I owe him ninety seven dollars and late fees.

This card sucks
October 19, 2017

This card sucks! If you make a payment of $50.00, they hold your money for 5 business days. I was on hold for 20 mins waiting for some one to answer and then I finally got someone who picked up and hung up the phone on me! Then I called back and was only that phone call for 55 mins before someone answered me. I have another credit card with First Premier that I've had for 9 months and they have been nothing but great! I make $400.00 payments at times with access within 24 hours! Today I closed this account due to the hassle and would definitely NOT recommend this card to anyone. I close the account and it takes 3-4 weeks to get my deposit back!

Another upset customer. My husband found the company to rebuild my credit. Usual complaints: It took a week for payments to clear, I was stuck at doctor offices and checkouts when card was usually declined. After being forced to use an overdraft from my checking account in order to leave a doctor's office (and the fees involved), I cancelled the card. Next problem: I was turned over to collections 6 weeks later when the account was 'accidentally' not initially closed out. Now I have to wait another 6 weeks to see if I ever receive my deposit. Turns out the Customer service company providing services for them are even dropping the account. I'm reporting them for fraudulent practices, the company needs to be shut down.

Total scam
October 22, 2020

Do not wast your valuable time which you could be using to actually build your credit. This company is a complete scam and will do the exact opposite of what they advertise. I was totally disappointing and closed the account at which point they were to issue me a refund of my 200 deposit which turned out to be a bad check and coast me bank fees.

Waste
April 8, 2020

They'll take your money fast but won't put it on your card the same way they took it. Opened the card with a $400 down payment. Recieved the card 2 weeks later with only $365 available, why not the whole 400 you took? Then made a payment of 330 and it's been almost a week and it hasn't posted yet? Will be looking into closing this account and not looking back

The worst
December 18, 2020

This card complete BS! First off to make a Payment is the most difficult I've ever experienced. And then they charged my a $25 check fee because I entered my debit card instead of account number when I did it with the account number first and it didn't work that way either! And customer service is no help whatsoever. I do not recommend this card to anyone and will be closing it ASAP

Be very careful when applying for this card.
I applied and submitted a $400 payment to open the account.
I received an email stating the card was in the mail. After 3 weeks I had not received the card. I called customer service (a nightmare) and after being bounced around and calling back for over an hour, I was finally told that my account had been put on hold.
This was after "the card is in the mail."
They wanted a letter stating I lived at the address on my application!

I requested my money back, was told it would take 6 weeks. 2 days ago I received a credit card statement where they deducted the $35 fee.

Be very wary of these crooks.

Card served it's purpose and now it's closed
September 8, 2018
Updated review

As of the end of August I cancelled this card. I spoke to someone at customer service without incident and cancelled. The card served it's purpose; my daughter has a decent starting credit score and she was now approved for a capital one unsecured credit card with a $1,000 limit automatically. I was told I would receive the 200.00 deposit within 4-6 weeks. It's been approx 2 weeks and I see the refund deposit has arrived in the mail today.

It gets the job done
September 8, 2018
Previous review

Its not a scam, but I was leery too. I got the card for my daughters 18th birthday. Its been 4.5 months and she now has a 680 credit score. All the negative reviews are from people who are irresponsible, dont read and dont bank with an institution. The only negative thing I have to say is that when you make a payment, the available balance and payments received dont update for a few days. Make sure you read through all the functions under your online account. Turn off paper statements so you dont get billed for one. Use the card sparingly and set up automatic bill payments. Have a checking account so you can pay your bill. I have not been charged anything out of the ordinary and have not had any problems with this card.

Rip Off
August 9, 2023

Watch out! They will charge you $35 a year for a $200 credit card that requires you to send them $200. Totally a rip off. Do not get this card unless you absolutely must.

I got this card because I was just out of bankruptcy and needed a card to rebuild credit. After I got this, I discovered there are no fee alternatives.

Been with this company for over 2 years with no missed payment Or lateness. Their customer services is the worst. You never get anyone on the line. After two hours of waiting a customer service rep, pickup & pretended she couldn't hear me, I am going to cancel my card.

I've had this card a few years and it helped me get my credit back up. Recently, my phone alerts went off like crazy. Someone was wracking up charges at an online shop. Called immediately and they shut the card down. I received a letter a few weeks ago that due to not reporting my card lost or stolen (?), they can't help me. Said to file a police report if I wanted to have them check again.

I'm shutting this card down once this mess is cleared. I'm upset. At least my credit was good enough to get a Discover card. I can get no-fee, no deposit, high amount CCs now and for that I'm grateful to OpenSky. Just BS they didn't cover me on a database breech.

Class lawsuit
September 25, 2017

They refused my 40 dollar payment. Said, it was a ACH issue only after waiting 2 months. But what was funny. I told them to close this account 2 months ago. They kept it open. Started reporting negative payments. Customer Service they are mostly people that don't speak well English. I had some man customer service representative insult me several times. But couldn't explain payment reversal. Have not got in contact with me at mostly. I think they would like a class law suit.

Shady!
June 23, 2017

Beware! Once you make your payment and it posts, open sky still holds the payment for 5 to 7 business days, not allowing you to use the money on your card. Ridiculous! Paid the balance from my checking account and now will be broke for another week! Do not get this bogus card!

Same issues
August 9, 2017

I closed this account after 6 years, they reverse good payments and raise your interest rate, then if you try to use your deposit to pay off the balance they threaten you with placing a chargeoff on your credit. I have 1500 in deposit, I dont known where these funds are deposited and they claim it will take 12 weeks to get my money back I am going to seek legal counsel

RIDICULOUS AND UNFAIR
October 28, 2021

My payments were always paid early and either in full or over the min due. One day I paid with my Sesame Cash account (Another scamming company). Apparently I had used the 2 payments available via the checking account number. Even though I sent proof from my bank that this was basically a clerical error, Open Sky closed my account. Wonder if I will ever get my security deposit back?

Mailed payment in and it arrived 9 days before the payment due date but it took them 12 days to process so had to pay a late payment fee. They will get you with fees regardless of what you do whether it is through paperless statements, paying on line, or late fees. Don't worry they will get there money and make it hard for you not to pay some kind of fee.
