The Milestone Mastercard at a glance
The Milestone® Mastercard® is an unsecured credit card built for people with less-than-perfect credit who want to build or rebuild their history. Unlike a secured card, it does not require a refundable deposit, and if you are approved you receive a credit line up to $1,000. It is a real Mastercard, accepted everywhere Mastercard is, and it reports to all three major credit bureaus so responsible use is recognized.
Key benefits
- A $1,000 credit limit if approved, with no refundable security deposit to tie up your cash.
- Clear pricing up front. A $250 annual fee in the first year and $99 after that, with a 35.9% purchase APR, all shown before you apply.
- Reports to all three bureaus. Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion see your on-time payments, which can help your history.
- Real Mastercard acceptance anywhere Mastercard is welcome, in stores and online, plus standard Mastercard protections.
