Clear Value Mastercard (The Bad)
- After the introductory period is over the APR jumps up to a mind-blowing 14.99%, 18.99% or 22.99% variable APR (based on your creditworthiness)… OUCH
- Not compatible with Google Pay
- Cash Loans, ATM Loans, and Convenience Check Loans: Either $10 or up to 3% of the amount of each advance, whichever is greater
- Late Payment Up to $39
- Your APR for Purchases and Balance Transfers may vary monthly and will be reset on the first day of each billing cycle by adding the Index to a margin of 12.99%, 16.99%, or 20.99% percentage points
A Pause on the Intro APR Offer
“0% introductory APR is for your first 18 billing cycles; after that, you will be charged your standard variable APR for purchases. Each balance transfer check will have a fee of either $10 or 3% of the amount of each transfer, whichever is greater”
Now, this doesn’t ruin the offer buy it certainly does not make it better.
