Aspire Credit Card Review
I must say, in doing the research for
this card there wasn’t much good information being reported about the Aspire
credit card. Online reviews were less than glowing and problems ranged from
poor customer service to very high interest rates.
I don’t want to relay only the bad news,
so I’ll tell you everything I found out about what Aspire offers. I’ll include
the good, bad and the ugly as well as what other users thought. Once you have
all the info, you can make up your mind and decide if the Aspire credit card is
for you.
What’s On Offer?
The Aspire credit card is offered by
VISA and can be accessed via the
Aspire Website. You need to know your user name and password in order to
get in. I have neither so I couldn’t tell you what the site entails.
I wanted to find out how to actually
apply for the card so I continued searching. I found that the Aspire card is
useful if you have bad credit and you want to repair it. But still no info on
how to apply for the card has been found so far, but stay tuned.
There are many secondary sites with
information on the Aspire credit card but I want to get to the horse’s mouth if
you know what I mean. As much as I tried I could not find a website that
offered detailed information on what the Aspire credit card is all about.
I did see many questions in various
forums asking for the live customer service number for Aspire. It seems that the
commonly used number which is at the back of the Aspire credit card and on the
statement connects you to an automated service only.
Understandably people want to talk to
people, especially when they have an urgent query.
In a bid to find out more about this
card I even tried some of the numbers listed in the forums myself. But before I
could get anywhere, the automated service asked for the last four digits of my
Aspire credit card account (which I don’t own) so this option did not help.
So far it is not looking good.
This is the bit you can call the ugly I
suppose. If you search Google there are so many complaints that it’s a wonder
the company is still issuing cards. Take a look for yourself at the following
links:

Now please note these are opinions of
other people and I can’t really vouch for the accuracy of the statements. The
way I look at, there must be a valid reason for all the negative comments about
this card.
There are so many other card offers on
the market that you should be spoilt for choice. Take some time to
search and compare
credit cards for people with bad credit.
As for the Aspire, due to lack of transparency of
information I would avoid this card. In today’s market where information is so
vital to decision making, I had to search too much for information on this
card. In the end all I could find was complaints and displeasure with the
service.
That should be enough to ring warning bells for you.
Before making your final decision, have a look around, see
what is out there, make sure you know exactly what you are applying for and that
you can contact the company and speak to a live person if you need to.
So that in a nutshell is my opinion on the Aspire Credit
Card.
