Expert Reviews of the Capital One Platinum Credit Card
The Bottom Line
If you have fair credit then this card gives you a way to enjoy the perks and features of a Mastercard, despite your less than stellar credit. The interest rate is pretty high, but there is no annual fee, and you have access to some helpful account management tools.
The Good
The good thing about this particular card is that it allows someone to have a genuine Mastercard when they do not really have great credit. It's a great first-time credit card.
The Not so Good
The interest rate is high and if you carry a balance that can get really expensive, really fast. You should pay your balance in full each month with this card because of the 30.74% (Variable) APR.
