If someone is really trying to rebuild their credit, this card gives them a chance to do so FREE if they pay their bill in full and on time (recommended for rebuilding credit, unless you're an idiot). If I were in their shoes, I'd take that over paying $256 in fees for a $300 credit limit.



Exactly. They know that's a write-off already, so they have to make their money back in other ways.

What if it gets sent to someone who is mentally incabable of understanding, but does it anyways?
In canada, they passed laws against interest rates like this.

And it is a criminal charge, not a civil charge.
