Hidden Scam--They Charge You a "Maintenance Fee" Staring Year 2, and You Can't Get Out of It Aspire lured me in offering a credit card with no annual fees or any other fees for just having the card. Then, when I had the card for almost a year, I received a letter from them informing me that they would start charging me a "monthly maintenance fee." The fee is $5 a month, but that adds up to $60 a year--all for just having the card. I tried to cancel my account, but the person or bot on the chat made it very difficult and told me that I would still have to pay the new fee until my balance was paid off. This company is basically a white-collar scam. They are getting rich from this shady practice, preying on ordinary people who have to watch every dime. Imagine how much they are raking in stealing $5 a month from thousands of people.

This company is a financial predator This company is a financial predator. Payments made on your account AFTER 5 pm on the due date is considered late and is assessed a late fee of $ 29.00. This is the only credit card company out of 8 cards in my wallet that rape customers this way. And then you technically have a late payment on your account. I paid on the due date at 5:15 this month after getting home from work a few minutes late. I was charged a 29.00 fee. I called them up told them to shove their credit card right up their corporate ass. Better lose a few points off my FICO score, than continuing to be raped monthly by this predator financial institution.

SCAM CROOKS Aspire is one big scam. I’ve reported the better Business Bureau. I had bought my car insurance through progressive and paid for it completely. Ask Byron saying that Progressive charge 503 to the charge card which they did not. I have the proof by my bank statement stating it was paid 803 in full. Stay away from this company. If you got a card recently cancel it immediately.

New Maintenance Fees! Having had the TBOM Aspire card for two years with no issues, I received an email concerning an important Notice of Change to my account. I admit that I often fail to read these but this time I did. Now my "no cost / no fees" account will be assessed a monthly maintenance fee of $5 per month (albeit small, it is still a $60 a year fee). This card has my lowest credit limit of over ten cards (many over $15,000) so I do not need it; however, dropping a card with a two-year history will indeed affect my credit score for an unknown period. When I immediately called, expecting to be transferred to a retention specialist, I was simply told that by not accepting their updated terms, my card would be cancelled immediately. So much for valuing their "good" customers (my current score is well over 750 with all of the three bureaus). Please consider twice before accepting the Aspire card's new terms...
