Upgrade Visa® Card: review

The Upgrade Visa® Card does not function the same way a traditional credit card does. Traditional credit cards charge interest for every day you carry a balance, but the Upgrade card functions like a line of personal credit.

When spending on a credit card, it’s always best to plan to pay off the balance in full due to high interest rates. But sometimes that’s not possible, and that’s where having a credit card can be beneficial. The Upgrade card will hold you to paying a higher monthly payment each month so your interest charges over time won’t run rampant.
