I applied for the Flexcard Visa program under Zab's tasks. It is a Hybrid program that you pay $69 for and you get a guaranteed approval credit card up to $10,000...I got approved for $1000, a prepaid Visa card and a guaranteed payday loan of up to $1.500...which I did not apply for. I did the offer on November 1st paying for it with MY Social Security debit card. After I did it I accidently lost the page and Googled it. When I Googled it a bunch of things came up about it being a scam and I read some of them...it was saying you really just get a credit card to an online book store. So I called them and asked them about it. They said I would be getting an unsecured Visa credit card and I made sure and asked right back if I would be getting an actual unsecured credit card with the Visa logo on it and can be used anywhere Visa is accepted and I should get it within 10-14 days. Well about 3 weeks passed and I call back and they say there was a back up ordering the cards and I should get it between December 1-6..again I ask if it was an unsecured Visa credit card and she said yes and I told her about what I read online and she said she had no idea what I read but that it was an unsecured Visa credit card. I waited until Dec 12th to call and then a recording is saying they are closed between 12th through 16th for phone system update. So I call back on the 19th and the recording says their offices are closed and I have called everyday after and the recording says the same thing. I further looked it up on the internet and looks like hundreds of people went through the same thing I did. I called my SSI debit card and they are sending me a form to dispute it so hopefully I will get my money back. If anyone wants to find out more about it just google "flexcard Visa program scam" Did anyone else on here do that offer and is going through what I am going through? I did it on Zab's tasks but have seen it on Superrewards too.

anytime you have to pay to get something that you should get for free anyway, it is usually a scam.
There are TWO rules for ultimate success in poker:
1. Never tell everything you know.

It shouldn't cost you $69 to get a unsecured credit card for $1,000, because when you get it you will see the interest rate is probably 29 to 49% apr which is standard high risk rate and most any credit card company dealing with B credit (or high risk) consumers will gladly give you one of their "rip off" credit cards and on your first bill you have been charged a big processing fee, an annual fee, a monthly maintenance fee..and so on, leaving you a new balance of $200 or more and you haven't even spent a penny on the credit card yet. DO NOT FALL FOR THESE SCAMS! first premier, capital one, orchard bank.. a few of the killer companies that you don't want a credit card from, if you have poor credit.
