Great Card

The Special Connections Visa is my go-to credit card for the security features and simplicity of use.

I've known and used Commerce Bank for over 40 years- -Has to be good!!

My Special Connectin Card began over 40 years ago. Questions and problems have always been promptly handled with efficiency and respect. My only regret is that there is no Commerce Banks in Wisconsin where I live. Keep up the good work guys!

Four stars

My card is dual-purpose: credit card and debit card. Usually it works the way I want it to. But sometimes a card-reader will recognize it ONLY as a debit card, which is annoying, and most store employees don't know how to tell the card-reader to recognize it as a credit card. Even when I select the "credit" button, it often runs through as debit anyway. I don't seem to have any control over this.

High interest rate for no reason kills this card to me!

Commerce has raised their card interest rates continuously for no reason. I always paid on time and in excess of the minimums. I called and was told they raised it because they could! No client loyalty or courtesy! I'€™ve paid it off and it is dead to me!!!
