Review

The New Millennium Bank Secured Platinum Visa®/MasterCard®, issued by New Millennium Bank, is designed for those with limited or poor credit who may have difficulty in obtaining a standard unsecured credit card. Most often, secured credit cards do not have any additional perks or benefits; however, this card does provide several benefits, including auto rental insurance, up to $100,000 in travel accident insurance, and an extended warranty for purchases. Perhaps the best benefit is the free companion airline ticket, which is awarded to cardholders upon approval. The card offers a free membership to TheWorldsBestTravelClub.com, which offers discounts on a variety of travel services and provides cardholders with a $69 cash rebate on their first condo booking. The card also offers referral program that rewards cardholders with up to $50 per approved referral. Although the APR applied to purchases is high for a secured card, this card does apply interest to the deposit amount required to secure the account, which is a nice benefit. This card also has a no credit check and no turn-down policy. There is an annual fee of $59, which is slightly above average for a secured card, as well as a one-time processing fee of $99.95 ($129.95 if the applicant would like to be issued both a Visa® and a MasterCard®). It is important to note that a drawback of the card is that there is no grace period for purchases. This means that interest will be applied immediately to any charges made with the card. Therefore, those who do not mind accumulating finance charges once a transaction is posted and can afford the $300 minimum deposit will benefit most from what the New Millennium Bank Secured Platinum Visa®/MasterCard® has to offer.

Most attractive features: No credit check for new applicants; guaranteed approval; free companion ticket upon enrollment; travel-related benefits.

Least attractive features: No grace period; annual fee.

Additional Perks: Access to the referral program to earn up to $50 per referral. Up to $100,000 in travel accident insurance. Emergency cash replacement. Auto rental insurance. Extended warranty for purchases. Free companion airline ticket upon enrollment. Free membership in www.TheWorldsBestTravelClub.com, which offers cardholders a $69 cash rebate on their first condo booking. See website for additional benefits.
