Upgrade Card FAQs
What is Upgrade Card?
- Upgrade Card can help you make good credit decisions by combining the flexibility of a cash back rewards credit card with the predictability of a personal loan. Upgrade Triple Cash Rewards Card is our best cash back rewards card if you want unlimited 3% cash back rewards on Home, Health and Auto purchases when you pay them back.
How can I use my Upgrade Card?
- You can use your Upgrade Card to swipe, tap, insert or purchase online everywhere Visa® is accepted. You can also transfer credit card balances from other credit card issuers to your card or send funds to your bank account, subject to applicable fees.
Why choose Upgrade Card instead of a credit card?
- Each statement period, your Upgrade Card transactions are combined into an installment loan with a fixed rate and term. That means you know when you’ll pay off your charges and can save on interest over time. By comparison, most cash back rewards credit cards have a low minimum monthly payment. With minimum payments, you tend to pay off less of the principal and may stay in debt for extended periods of time.
Why choose Upgrade Card instead of a personal loan?
- With a fixed rate and term, Upgrade Card gives you the predictability of a personal loan, plus the flexibility of a cash back rewards credit card. You can use your Upgrade Card to swipe, tap, insert or purchase online everywhere Visa is accepted. You have access to funds up to the full line amount, but you only pay interest on the amount that you use. And with Upgrade Triple Cash Rewards Card, you get unlimited 3% cash back rewards on Home, Health and Auto purchases when you pay them back.
With a personal loan, your funds are disbursed in a lump sum once you're approved. If you need additional money, you’ll need to apply again to borrow additional funds. You are responsible to pay back the full amount that you borrow, plus interest, even if you do not use the loan proceeds as you planned. And you do not get any cash back rewards on your loan payments.
Is the Upgrade Card secured or unsecured?
- Upgrade Card is unsecured so you do not need to provide a cash or security deposit or any other collateral.
How do I apply for an Upgrade Card?
- Applying for your Upgrade Card is simple and quick. And you can check for an offer with no impact to your credit score or credit report.
First, provide some basic information about yourself and grant us permission to pull your credit report from one or more consumer reporting agencies. This credit pull is a soft inquiry, so it won’t harm your credit.
Then we'll show you if you are pre-approved for Upgrade Card. If you are pre-approved, you will see your offer, which includes your credit line amount, APR and draw length.
Does Upgrade Card come with Visa Signature® benefits?
- All Upgrade Cards, except for Upgrade Select, offer Visa Signature benefits, including Extended Warranty, Price Protection, Roadside Dispatch, Travel and Emergency Assistance Services and Visa's Zero Liability Policy.6
