Thanks, Syed!
Deserve is a great credit card for International Students that does not have a credit score. Deserve Pro has amazing cash back for its target customers, compared to its competitors. The application and the website can be improved, not the best UI/UX. However, it gets the job done. This should be your first card, if you are new to credit cards in the U.S.!

Hi Mert, Thank you for your feedback. We're glad you're enjoying your Deserve PRO card and happy to tell you that we're working on improving the Deserve Mobile app. Thanks for choosing Deserve and stay safe!
The Card is not accepted in multiple online payment portals, payment either bounces or says invalid card. However, on overall good, it works for me as I use it majorly for most of the expenses

Hi Daniela, Thanks for the feedback. We're glad you enjoy the Deserve Mobile app!
if you’re a student with little to no debt, this card looks perfect! However, they do not have a good APR%, and are more than willing to go behind your back and decrease tour credit limit, even if your track record is 100% in time and good. Even if you have no credit, it’s still better than them hurting your credit.

How this card has any good reviews blows my mind. This was my first ever credit card and it had made me reluctant to ever get another one. The amount of shady things this company has done has amazed me. They moved without notifying ANY of their customers so my payments were often delayed without explanation until I finally called them. Customer service is also absolutely disastrous. I’ve been on hold for 1 hour plus before. And when I do finally get ahold of someone, I’ve twice had rude and unhelpful customer service reps. As someone who works in retail, I understand the difficulty of working with customers, but in general you should try not to insult them while you are on the phone with them :) The promise of a free year of Amazon Prime has also proven to be not true. No matter how many times I tried to set it up through the company, it never worked. If you’re into false promises and disaster than this card is for you :)
