I received an offer but when I went through the reviews from Trustpilot, it really isn't worth the trouble!

I recently had an experience with Embark Credit Card, and unfortunately, I cannot recommend it to anyone. The interest rates are simply too high, making it an unattractive option for customers. While the card may offer some benefits, the excessive interest charges outweigh any positives. I hope the company considers revising their rates to be more competitive and fairer to their customers. Until then, I would advise looking for alternative credit card options with more reasonable interest rates.

i applied and got the embark card. i then tried to use it to pay my federal taxes but it was declined. customer service could not explain why this was considered fraud. (presumably a large amount early in the card history). however, i was charged a "convenience fee" by the card processor despite the actual tax payment failing. i disputed the incorrectly charged fee, but embark did not handle the dispute for approximately 2 months, but eventually the merchant charged back the incorrect charges. meanwhile embark charged me late fees and interest and never has reversed those. i received approximately 20 dunning phone calls from them after not paying the disputed amount. calls more than once per day, and no rep had any incentive to fix the actual problem, despite acknowledging there was a dispute, they just wanted to collect $. i paid the undisputed portion of the bill the following month. a week after i paid it, they locked the card because of the size of my payment, which was just the amount due! finally today i tried to talk with them without success, so cancelled the account. they still think i owe them money.
