Tribute MasterCard - Review

By Daniel Moskel
Dec 11, 2008
The Tribute Credit Card is a sub prime unsecured card. Often this card is used to re-establish a damaged credit score.

This card is issued by the First Bank of Delaware. This bank has been in the sub prime lending business for years.

With responsible use of your card it can help to improve your credit score. This is because with on time monthly payments you will be able to create a positive payment history on your credit report.

Your payment history is factored heavily when your credit score is calculated. This card will also help your ratio of available credit to debt. This ratio is how much debt do you have compared to the credit you have that is not being used.

There will be an annual fee; however every sub prime card carries an annual fee. You will have an APR of 19.50% which is standard for these cards.

Your initial credit limit will be $300. Your card does have monthly credit reporting to all three major bureaus.

The First Bank of Delaware is committed to helping consumers so they have created an additional Tribute MasterCard for those with a very low score. When this card is issued instead of a $300 credit limit it comes with a $70 credit limit.

It will still report to the bureaus and the limit can increase to $300 with responsible use. There are no finance charges and no account set up fees.

There have easy approval requirements and no minimum income for this card. You will have free online account access and there is no application fee.

When you apply you will have a 30 second online decision. Also your card will have limit increases with a maximum limit of $2000.

To get the most benefit on your credit report from your card you should try and keep the balance at approximately 25% of you credit limit. This is because it shows the bureaus that you do use your card and you are using it responsibly.

In sum we do suggest the Tribute MasterCard. When used properly it is a very effective tool to rebuild a low credit score.
