September 10, 2007 Worst. Credit Card. Ever.

Ladies and Gentlemen, put your hands together for the Continental Finance MasterCard. This one is truly awful. Here are the details:

* Account setup fee: $99

* Program participation fee: $89

* Annual fee: $49

* Account maintenance fee: $120 (charged @ $10/month)

* Purchase APR: 19.92%

* Authorized user fee: $30 (great! seems like $53 credit is a bit too much for a single person to handle)

* Credit limit increase fee: $25 (and you don’t even have to ask for it!) You need to call these people and ask them to stop; otherwise, they are automatically going to increase the limit by $100 each time and charge you the $25 fee.

* Internet payment fee: $4 for each authorized internet payment. I just don’t get this - why are people with bad credit charged for paying their bills online? .. probably to make sure that they don’t start paying their bills automatically or something?
