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

I signed up for the horizonoutlet.com posted"credit card," but this is not at all what I thought i was getting. So, i ordered this card, to my surprise, bought into a card that lets me shop at their web sight. Ok, this is not all: the stuff is literally junk. I can buy this at the dollar store if i wanted to. I was also disappointed to find out it cosed me around 75.00 to wait 2 weeks for a product that has as much use to me as a rock.

I received a post card and looked things up here first. I read the comments and then logged on. First of all...NO WHERE did I see this company advertise their card with a visa logo on it. So why are ALL OF YOU UNDER THE IMPRESSION IT WAS A VISA? I really do NOT see any false advertising there. I personally took the time to read the terms and conditions that I was to agree to. Not hard to read and it DID explain the "merchant" card. HOW MANY OF YOU READ THE TERMS? Don't forget, the people that are trying to get this card have credit scores that suck. I was attracted to it because it said no credit check. What other options do we have? People who have crappy credit need a reality check...Visa doesn't want us. We don't pay our bills. I'm NOT getting a flat screen TV unless I pay cash for it.

Before I received the card I attempted to cancel and was routed to the supervisor who told me I would receive a refund of 50.00 still waiting!

I felt really mad when i received my horizon card, its very misleading they make it seem like its a real credit card, and when you get it its just another damn stupid online shopping card .it would have been great if the products were good, but i can get a better deal at the local goodwill for a way cheaper price.. please horizon cancel my account and refund my money...

Thats all i want!

Thanks alot Horizon! That 70 dollars could have gone to something good.

I thought that the horizon card was a charge card to re-build credit. It charged me $75.00 four times just to get the card, and when I was having problems with them charging my account I tryed to cancell the card all together and so instead of them allowing me to cancell the card they uped my credit from $500 to $1, 000.00 and I was suppose to get a $40.00 voucher along with it and instead they charged my card $40.00. This is a rip off, there stuff is all junk!

I signed up for tis card thinking I could purchase on line. First they over drew my checking account to sign up for the card after I entered a sight for a lending company. My entension was to apply for the loan. When I called to ask why this happened and I really didn't think I wanted the card after having to pay 75.00 in over draft fees. They told me they were going to pay back the over draft and charge it to the card as a purchase I wouldn't have to pay back. Come to find out it was a 35.00 dallor voucher to use on there on their site. I tried to use the voucher, being that I am stuck with the card, and my card number was invalid! I cannot get through to anyone regaurding my log in info. So I am stuck with a card I can't use paying 6.00 a month for nothing, not to mention 75.00 in over draft fees!
I hope no one else makes this mistake and read the fine print on every thing you apply on line for!

I too agree that this was and still is a big scam. I pray that these people have a heart and give back the money. I may have to take legal action. Think for my two sons who are officers, a daughter who is a lawyer, and a uncle who is a judge. I guess I'll have to put them on this company. kep your fingers cross, maybe we will all get our money back.

I applied for this card as well thinking it was a credit card. My friend said it was to good to be true. We went further and read and she said it didn't have a visa/master card logo. She said they just scam you. Its an online catalogue shopping site. I was so furious at first. Then I thought may be it isn't so bad. So I won't cancel. Its been six days and I haven't received my credit card yet. I have been trying to get on to there web sit to see what I was getting into but I can't. I pray this isn't really a scam. I paid 89.90. I am calling tomorrow to cancel this card. Thank you everyone for your advise.

I was misled by this card . thinking it was a real credit card and finding out the only place that it could be used for was their company and buying their junk that I wouldn't even purchase for Goodwill. Not only that they only give me a refund of part of my money said I had had my benefits two weeks before I received my card but I couldn't access my account. I guess it's live and learn.

I thought i was getting a real credit card with a 500.00 limit yes yall really fooled me too. I was hoping to get some bills caught up with this card not do more shopping. No one stated on thw website that this was a card for online shopping no one at all, i cant believe that ya'll mis lead people like that.

I agree . I also thought this was a credit card of the normal kind. When trying to cancel I was talked into using it and see what they have. I did and the shipping and handling or whatever they call it was unbelievable.What A scam. By the time you pay that and what they charge your card it is no discount for what they send in merchandise. Now I am trying to find out my balance so I can get them out of my life and I get my login is not correct. I am very frustrated with this company and feel the owe me money for the frustration alone.

I too agree. I have contacted the Attorney General and the Better Buisness Bureau, And all of you should do the same so other people are not victoms of this sad sad company that has too lie to get business. Horizon Gold should let u know in there ad what they are all about. Any company that has to hide things from there customers is'nt a company i want to do business with.

Man I fell for the same ###, I thought it was a credit card and they took twenty-something dollars out my account for two months and then i was pissed. I called and talked to some ### and she wouldnt put the manager on the phone but when she did I asked if he wanted to talk to my lawyer and tried to sound all mad and business like and they gave my money back. I suggest you all do the same. ### call me ill be the lawyer. lol!
