Centennial MasterCard Review

By Daniel Moskel

The Centennial credit card is an unsecured card created for individuals with a damaged credit report. It is issued by First Premier Bank an FDIC member.

It has easy approval requirements, but does carry some fees. Including a one time $95 fee, an account set up fee of $29, and an annual fee of $48.

These fees will be charged against your available credit. Meaning when you are issued your card, you will have these fees on your balance.

You will have an initial $250 credit limit. Additionally you have a 9.9% APR.

It can be issued as a MasterCard or Visa, you decide. When you apply online you will get a response within 60 seconds of submitting your application.

When making your monthly on time payments you will create a positive payment history on your credit report.

Your utilization ratio is also an important factor in your score. This is the amount of debt you have compared to how much available credit you have. Your score will get the most benefit if you can keep your balance at roughly 30% of you limit.

In other words a $250 limit, you want to keep your balance at $75. You will be eligible for a credit limit increase after six months.

The First Premier Bank is in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. They are a member of the Better Business Bureau and have served over 3 million people.

Your card is accepted worldwide and everywhere you see the Visa or MasterCard logo. You can qualify for approval if you are over 18 and have a valid social security number.

Recently we have seen a rise in interest rates even with prime lending. Some rates have jumped to an outrageous 30% without cause, meaning the customer did not pay late.

In sum we suggest you explore all your options for credit if you have made some mistakes. It may be more cost effective to get a secured or prepaid card, and take other steps to repair your damaged score.
