This is a charge card( paid monthly in full) so you dont have to worry about spending within 30 percent of your credit limit. Charge cards show up differently on your credit card so they also add towards the 10 percent score being towards types of credit. Pro - Looks good. Amazing features. Good points. Fraud protection. Customer support, Cons -Not accepted everywhere, expensive
