Pros: Even with bad credit you can get this one. Cons: Interest rate is super high!
I applied for this card online while doing my rewards programs one day. I forget which rewards program I was doing, but it gave you cash for applying for an Aria Visa card. I thought, ok. It says get cash to apply, so you don't have to be accepted. With...
Pros: none--STAY AWAY from Providian! Cons: outrageous APR and fees; "rewards" will cost you
This epinion is *not* for the Aria card, but for the Providian Platinum visa (this seemed like the best place for it, since we're talking about the same bank).
Once in a while I get a credit card offer so insulting to my intelligence that I...
Pros: easy to apply, no fees, good interest rate Cons: not to giving with credit line increases
I have read numerous reviews on the Aria card from Providian and most of the time they are pretty negative, and people have given their experiences with this card and I can see why most are displeased, based on their stories. I on the other hand have...
Pros: Lots of Credit Line increases Cons: Not an Honest Company, Staff is not knowledgeable of products, telemarketing
I signed up for an Aria Visa card in 1999. The first problem reared it's head after my first anniversary. They send me a note saying my credit line will be increased. And, if I would like an even better increase I can pay X amount to get it. HUH?...
Pros: great customer service Cons: website services need work
I've had my Aria Platinum Visa since November 1998 or so. I originally applied for it because my Visa through my credit union was being transferred over to FirstUSA and I had a bad experience with them. (The exact reasons for switching would best be...
Pros: Great additional programs Cons: Has a yearly service charge
A few years ago, my credit had been hurt when I suddenly found myself without the government paid funds from college GIBill, student work study program through the VA and VA Disability Payments for almost four months. These three things were my sole...
Pros: higher initial limit than other sub-prime cards Cons: higher interest than other sub-prime cards, indifferent service, poor billing practices
I suppose I chose to get an Aria card for the same reason that many, many other people do -- namely, even with my bruised credit rating, they'd give me a card, and you have to have credit to rebuild it.
Pros: You can apply online and access your info via the net Cons: They will lie and rip you off
I applied for and received the Aria platinum Visa card almost a year ago, and I'm regretting every minute of it. When they called me to verify my information, I was told by the representative that my balance transfer APR would be at 12.9%. When I heard...
Pros: Total Success! Cons: Takes 3 months for a line increase!
Total Success!
Many of you know how difficult it is at 18 to get good credit. Well, I have found one of the best credit plans available! I have had my Providian VISA card for almost 4 months now, and my credit limit is over $1,700. Although...
Pros: uh.....the card is cute?!?!? Cons: The whole deal!!!
I battled the problems of no credit for a very long time. All I wanted to do was establish some credit for myself, I soon learned this is very difficult! I tried everything I could think of, and finally after my two year battle I discovered Aria. My...
Pros: Pro's at seperating you from your money Cons: Yeah, There Cons also
Writers Note
As all of you know who are familiar with my writing, I have already written a review on "Providian Gold Visa". However, I have lately been receiving a barrage of mailings and solicitations from Providian to accept an offer...
Pros: great, easy to use web site that provides online statements Cons: high interest rate if you build a balance
I have written several articles on the various addictions I have to buying stuff. As a Jedi, I always have to carry my lightsaber with me. In doing so, sometimes I forget to carry cash. In order to go on my various spending sprees, I often times rely...
