The Compound Verdict

Mission Lane is the cleanest of the unsecured subprime issuers, which is faint but real praise. Prequalify first: a $0 fee offer is worth taking, a $59 fee offer means a secured card from Discover or Capital One is the smarter play. The card exists to bridge you for a year or two, not to keep.
