Their customer service sucks
Their customer service sucks. Honestly if you are an international student and need a credit card — HSBC and Bank of America will provide them.

“ No credit history required”
“ No credit history required” but denied because of credit history but Discover and Capital One approved. This credit card is a disaster and very misleading. Was prequalified and then denied. Useless inquiry for no reason.

Customer service is an absolute joke
Customer service is an absolute joke. They are helpless relating anything to the card.
I've had the Pro card for over 2 1/2 years now, and honestly kind of set it aside because of the terrible issues I had when I first got approved. Somehow their system messed up my birthdate on file, so any time I try to verify myself when I call support, they ask for my birthday and they hang up because I got 'some information' wrong. Refusing to listen WHY its wrong.
I wanted to give the card another chance this week, tried to log in online, and said it was locked and had to call their customer service. Called, tried verifying, got told its wrong. Explained myself, they said "oh, just log in online and double check your information", making me have to explain AGAIN that i'm locked out of my account. They then say "in that case you'll have to send over information to our email address" which obviously isn't secure. At this point, customer service was driving me insane. So i wanted to just close my account, since I definitely don't need this card, and they refused to close it until I get access to my online account. All while being absolutely helpless to me. Worst customer service, which plays a huge part into a credit card company for me. Can only imagine the headache someone goes through if theres fraud or have to file a dispute. I'll be sure to go the extra mile and gain access to my account and close it. Disgusting tbh.

Best card for international students…
Best card for international students trying to build credit. They also have sweepstakes scholarships of $1000 for students which is nice considering how expensive tuition is for international students
