This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

I got this offer by email; "we remain eager and hopeful that you will take advantage of this incredible opportunity to become part of the Horizon Gold Card family. No Credit Checks, No Employment Checks, No income verification whatsoever... even bankruptcy is not a problem. Get 0% Interest, No Credit Checks, Instant Online Approval". I went online to find out more information. I had to fill out the first page of the application. On the second page, there was a picture of cards with the 'Visa' and 'Mastercard' logo. I clicked on the 'Terms and Conditions' for the Horizon Gold card and nothing was available. I tried this a couple of times before searching the internet for comments on this company.

If you closely look at the pictures of the card on the post card and on the website, GUESS WHAT! There is no Visa or Master Card logo. If you read the website closely, you will see that those logos are there to show you how to pay the one time membership fee. Also, if you red the terms and conditions, it says specifically that this is not a VISA or MASTER CARD, that it is for shopping on TheHorizonOutlet.com. Learn how to read and examine things!

I was an employee of reliant holdings and to be honest I personally did not agree with marketing strategy, however, it is a very effective strategy from a business standpoint, it also says right in the terms and conditions that the horizon gold card is NOT I repeat NOT a VISA or MASTERCARD.

Now granted most of the people who wanted to sign up just saw credit card and and signed up without reading the terms and conditions I know because I heard all kind of illiterate folks tell me that they did not see that in the terms and conditions, but, if you look on the web site and click on terms and conditions, and you are not illiterate, you will read clearly in black and white the terms and conditions and it does also state that the card can only be used to purchase online items only.

I also want to state that the card can be used to help your credit by reporting on a monthly basis, the catch is you have to have a balance and be paying on the balance to have a good monthly report, just having the card and having an open account is not going to give you a good monthly report .

The main client base is composed of people who have less than perfect credit and are their credit score does not warrant a visa or mastercard also it states that the visa and mastercard logo are a payment method for the one time initial fee.

Point blank if you are uneducated enough to realize that the only people who will give you a credit card don't already know your credit score and you think that someone would seriously just give you a credit card with your obvious lack of finacial tack, you deserve what you get for not paying attention, and don't give that ADD ADHD horse hockey when someone calls your bluff because you did not read the fine print.

This is 2008 the is fine print everywhere you go in life get with the program.

It's bad enough some people were fooled or even misled by the ad, But no one needs to reed a comment from a complete idiot with no regard for other peoples feelimgs.True everyone should read the fine print. But some don't and it seems to me, by the hostility he showed in his comment he must have fell for it. So he is and sounds like an idiot HaHaHa.

I have account numbers etc. We will see .

This is a product that takes advantage of desperate people with poor credit and whom often can not read the terms or bypass them because they are strategically placed on the sign up for people to ignore. Consumers pay to be promised to be reported to a credit bureau. Maybe they are, who knows. No legit product will basically take a bribe payment for a useless shopping card to post your credit info. The owner also holds a position at a local bank, so you know they are getting some preferred treatment for a credit card processing account that most likely gets a lot of chargebacks and refunds. If you are billed, just call your bank and file a chargeback on their fees. Do not bother with customer service, save yourself the headache, just tell them to cancel and you are filing a chargeback and filing a complaint. Their customer service is just a chain of reps to try and entice consumers to stay enrolled. The limited shopping site consists of out of stock seconds and returned items, basically useless. The only way this firm makes money is billing consumers a recurring fee for a useless product they will never use. You are not getting anything for your money. The more complaints there are against these fraudsters, the more they may get noticed and investigated.
