[/wpsm_inline_list]The Milestone credit card is issued by The Bank of Missouri. It’s designed for those with poor credit. Even a bankruptcy won’t necessarily keep you from obtaining a Milestone card.
The Milestone credit card has a relatively high APR at 24.9 percent. They also charge an annual fee, which lowers your initial available credit. If you’ve had difficulties with your credit, though, it has a lower APR than other similar cards and you don’t need to pay a hefty security deposit.
