Stephanie Labbé: 'Play free' and we all succeed
— By Rachel Sovka
Being a goalkeeper is a huge responsibility. It's arguably the most important position on a soccer team and comes with a lot of pressure. International soccer player Stephanie Labbé shows us how to handle it.
Heroes and villains
Labbé, who won Olympic bronze with Canada in 2016, works hard through training and meditation to keep her role in perspective.
"When you make a mistake it's heightened," Labbé says of the keeper position. "Everybody sees it, everybody criticizes it. You're either a hero or a villain."
Historically, fans have been known to 'blame the goalie' after unfavourable outcomes in high stakes matches. Labbé says she's learned to understand that being scrutinized is part of the job.
"You make one miscalculation and it's a big deal. You have to realize that's part of having a position in the spotlight."
But being in the spotlight has its advantages, too.
Labbé's unique viewpoint lends itself to a leadership position that's deeply valued by the rest of the team.
Leading with laughter
"The goalkeeper is a leadership position," she explains. "We can see everything, and we have to communicate that point of view to our team's advantage."
Labbé is a leader in her own right.
At 30, she has calls herself an "older player" who understands the game well.
She has a lot of experience.
She's played soccer since she was 12-years-old, led Canada to Olympic bronze in Rio, competed in World Cups and in the highest women's league in Sweden. She currently splits her time between playing professional soccer for the Washington Spirit in the NWSL and Canada's national team, as well as coaching and running Labbé Keeper Camps for aspiring young goalkeepers across Canada.
Labbé is busy, but she isn't keeping her keeper knowledge to herself.
"I try to bring my experience to help everyone, just like when I was young, people helped me grow into myself on the field," Labbé says.
When she's on the field today, she says she tries to talk a lot because of her understanding of the game, and off the field she talks in order to stimulate confidence and fun among her teammates.
"Because people play their best when they're enjoying it," she says, "I try to encourage people to laugh and play free, that's when we all succeed."
The meditative mind
Labbé's success is something she's fought hard for, especially in such a crucial position. In an effort to remain in that mental space of enjoyment and confidence, Labbé has invested a lot of time into meditation to build mental strength.
She's been deliberate about seeking out ways to maintain her personal equilibrium during high- stress situations and not give in to the pressure.
"I got into meditation in 2015," Labbé says. "I started working with Lululemon as a sponsor, and a yoga instructor helped me see the other, more mindful side of yoga."
Through meditation and yoga, she was able to find strength of mind, control her thoughts, and be more present while she's playing.
"I enjoy the sport most when I'm not thinking about past mistakes, when I keep a level emotional state, and don't get so excited about a previous save that I miss the next one," she says. "The reverse is also true. What happened is over, you have to move right on to the next task."
As a goalkeeper, Labbé says her first thought is always what she did wrong, but going back and reflecting helps her to realize all the great things she did right, and challenge herself to remember the positive.
Helping her to meditate on the positive, her teammates are the support system she goes to in such times.
"I feel the most me on the field," she says. "I have so many vulnerable moments, but through that you gain a real sense of trust with your team. When you need to talk, they're the first people you go to because they've seen you at your worst and best; there's a level of deep trust."
Goalkeepers keeping the faith
Labbé says that trust runs deep throughout the team and in the athlete community at large because athletes of all sports understand the same struggles.
She gives the example of the three goalkeepers on the Canadian women's team.
"We all have a good dynamic; off the field we're great friends, we have lots of respect for each other, and just want Canada to do well," she says.
Labbé wants Canada to be the No.1 team in the world and to do that they need the No.1 goalkeeper in the world. That's why they push each other.
"We're after the same goal," she adds. "Negativity has no place among teammates. A toxic environment doesn't help anyone get better."
In Labbé's own pursuit of excellence, her next goal is the World Cup in 2019 then the 2020 Olympics when she'll be 34.
She notes that most soccer players play until their mid-30s, but given that women's professional soccer isn't especially lucrative, she considers what's required to sustain a lifestyle with so much travel involved.
"I think about the long-term plan for two or three years from now, but the best way to actually do that is to maximize today," she says. "In order to achieve the most, I think about the little things to maximize the moment. I fight myself to be present in the moment, and I put myself in an environment to keep getting better. That's how I do it."
And that's how it's done.

Published in Gulf States News, 22 October 2015
The squeeze on government revenues in a low oil price environment is forcing GCC states to sell off some overseas assets and fuelling speculation about privatisations at home, but it remains uncertain just how far governments will take radical measures to confront their fiscal problems.
Fiscal pressures resulting from low oil prices are starting to hit home, with the International Monetary Fund estimating the six Gulf Co-operation Council (GCC) states will run a combined budget deficit of 13.2% this year, and some countries – including architect of the Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries policy Saudi Arabia – likely to be even further in the red. A policy response is unavoidable, but governments' willingness to deal with the issue comprehensively remains uncertain, with only a few options authorities can realistically consider: cutting spending, raising more debt, drawing on savings and/or selling assets.
A mix of these policies has been adopted around the region to date. The UAE has cut fuel subsidies; Saudi Arabia has been scaling back on projects and drawing down foreign currency reserves. Oman and Saudi Arabia have issued bonds (an attempt by neighbouring Iraq failed for lack of investor interest), and Kuwait is expected to follow their lead.
The approach to selling state-owned assets has been more circumspect. There is growing evidence of sovereign wealth funds (SWFs) liquidating their assets overseas, in a still rather piecemeal process. "There has been several months of defunding activity by sovereign wealth funds," said Riyadh-based investment manager Ashmore Group's Middle East director John Sfakianakis. "This is what they are used for. When there is a fiscal deficit, the SWFs will come in and support the state."
But there may still be as much buying as selling going on. "SWFs acquire and divest very frequently. I don't think it's a case of raising capital for sovereign balance sheets. It's not a case that this year they've had more divestments than before," a senior investment banker in the region told GSN.
Examples of continued deal-making include the activities of Abu Dhabi powerhouse Mubadala Development Company (MDC), which in September sold its Mubadala GE Capital joint venture with US conglomerate GE to MidCap Financial. A few weeks later, MDC formed a new joint venture with commodities trader Trafigura to invest in base metals. Qatar Investment Authority has sold stakes in European construction firms Hochtief and Vinci in recent weeks, but is reportedly also opening an office in the US to make new investments.
Whether or not there have been large net disposals, there is an assumption that the pace of asset sales will pick up as budgetary pressures increase. Some sales will be made quietly and without fanfare. Just over half of the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority portfolio is held in equities, so there is plenty of scope to reduce its shareholdings in the open market. Other SWFs hold most of their assets overseas, so such actions would not affect the local economies.
Some bankers expect governments to consider privatising more local state-owned enterprises. There are some precedents: the Saudi government has been gradually selling parts of the Saudia airline group, whose Saudi Ground Services Company was the latest to float on the Tadawul market in June. Others flagged up as potential privatisation candidates include Saudi Electricity Company. The Kuwaiti government has been trying to sell Kuwait Airways for many years; political inertia has so far prevented this but recent media reports suggest the government is about to embark on a renewed push.
But how many more privatisation candidates will emerge? Investment bankers, who would help to arrange the sell-offs, have mixed expectations. Some expect more deals to emerge in 2016. "We're looking at a time when we may see more privatisations in the region – the UAE and Saudi Arabia clearly can offer a significant pipeline of deals," a Dubai-based banker said. "I would expect that to start happening late next year."
Privatisations could allow governments to relieve some fiscal pressure, but to date most have preferred other options. "They are using their SWFs and doing some asset swaps, and exiting some of their positions and using that as a way of helping the budget deficits," said another investment banker. "That is much easier and faster than a big privatisation process."
All governments say they are keen on privatisation, which could promote more private sector activity. It could also help to inject efficiencies into lumbering state-owned corporations. But there are potential downsides: now is a bad time to be floating on a stock market, as bourses around the world have been struggling, including in the Gulf. Despite initiatives such as opening up the Tadawul, the number of regional initial public offerings (IPOs) has been drying up – there have been none so far in H2 2015.
Such things are cyclical and market conditions will eventually improve. Other reasons for governments' reluctance are more fundamental. Traditionally, privatisations in the Gulf have been a method of wealth redistribution, with shares being sold at artificially low levels to locals, who usually make handsome profits once the stocks are traded. This is an inefficient way of redistributing wealth that excludes the poorest, and is not much help in raising money for government. However, any attempt to sell assets at more realistic prices could meet resistance from a public used to easy profits. And governments may also fear losing face, lest they appear to be acting out of weakness.

Taylor Gabriel Thanks Falcons, Suggests Free-Agency Exit from AtlantaMarch 1, 2018
Taylor Gabriel appears headed for a change of scenery this spring.
On Thursday, the impending free-agent wide receiver thanked the Atlanta Falcons in a message on Twitter and suggested he will be switching teams once the new league year begins:
Gabriel, 27, spent the first two years of his career with the Cleveland Browns, but it wasn't until he landed with the Falcons in 2016 that he emerged as a household name.
In 13 appearances, the speedster posted 35 receptions for 579 yards and six touchdowns—all of which came over the season's final eight games.
Gabriel's production waned in 2017 after former offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan accepted a job as the San Francisco 49ers' head coach. As a result, he mustered 33 catches for 378 yards and one score.
"I'm not sure what happened," Gabriel said of the down year, per ESPN.com's Vaughn McClure. "Just the offense, in general, we were just trying to get those explosive plays in. I'm not surprised that people were trying to take those deep balls away and take me out the game, as well. It's a lot of different things."
At 5'8'' and 165 pounds, it's unlikely Gabriel will ever emerge as a top-flight receiver.
But with excellent vertical speed and the ability to burn defenders out of the slot or along the boundary, he should garner interest from teams in need of versatile additions to their passing games.

EX Isle by Peter Clines
I was thinking this would be an amazing story. I thought it would be a change from the run-of-the-mill zombie novels and I thought I'd love the storyline. On all accounts, I found myself disappointed.
EXIsle is about the world being over-run by zombies. There's a war going on and you're either a Good Guy or a Bad Guy. There are no by-standers and everyone's collateral damage! I found the story unbelievably unbelievable. From the first page where St. George tosses zombies with a flick of the wrist, to him jumping about twenty feet into the air! I was like, "Really? Really..."
This is part of the EX Heroes series, by Peter Clines. This is book number 5 I think and I believe it will be the only one I read. Why do they keep chucking me in the middle or end of something that could be great?! Coming in on a series is just not cool for me and I'm so bummed that they keep coming to me this way, but I take many of them the way I get 'em.
Sadly, I wasn't happy with this one. Not only did it suck but the author even apologizes for rushing the job in the acknowledgements at the end! Say wha? So I may end up handing this book off to a friend. I don't even know if I want to keep it on my shelf. What a bummer...📚

Ryan Bourne – "Love and Death" (play)
I post a lot of great music here, and I love all of it, a lot. But every once in a while I hear a song, and I just have to get up on a soapbox and wave my arms and yell HEY, YOU HAVE TO HEAR THIS! This is the best new love song I have heard in a long while. The lyrics are outstanding. Very contemporary, yet also archetypal and timeless. I know nothing about this artist, and I'm even gonna like, read the bio before posting this. I can do that later. This is just brilliant.

Volkswagen Golf R to get less horses due to the new WLTP
By Faiming_low on
06 Jul 2018
Also known as the Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicle Test Procedure, it is the latest test that measures emissions based on real-world data rather than the current lab analysis of the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC).
To make sure the Golf R complies with the new emissions standards that will kick in in September, Volkswagen has fitted a new exhaust system to the Golf R. Sadly with the cleaner exhaust, Autocar says that the hot hatch will output 296bhp instead of 306bhp.
Unfortunately, customers who have yet to get their cars, will have to have their exhaust systems swapped out to the revised ones also.

What to look for in a church?/
Lucas Bearg forwarded this blog to me from a guy I do not know, but I liked him after I read his "16 things to look for in a church". I thought he must have been talking about Olathe Life Fellowship. Have a great day!
If I were looking for a church to attend in the morning, here is what I'd look for:
1. When I enter do I hear laughter?
2. Are people greeting me as a job or a joy?
3. Does the place look like they were expecting me?
4. Are people buzzing as they greet each other?
5. Is there spirited music playing as people gather?
6. Does the music move me?
7. Do the people on stage look real and engaged?
8. Are the announcements short, strategic, and to the point?
9. Is there a printed outline with Scripture already printed on it?
10. Does the pastor smile?
11. Does the message title promise a relevant topic I am interested in?
12. Does the pastor speak with humility and authority?
13. Do I feel the presence of God?
14. Are people listening and engaged?
15. Is the service no more than 71 minutes?
16. Does it pass by fast?

By panamacity56611345, Apr 12 2017 04:03PM
Looking for a great looking carpet that is easily cleaned? Shaw has come up with the first and only residential carpet innovation of its kind. It's called LifeGuard.

It is smartly built around meeting customer performance demands while delivering great design. The Shaw LifeGuard backing is a 100 percent waterproof barrier to prevent liquids from soaking into the carpet padding and subfloor, providing complete clean-up protection and a healthier living environment.
Shaw carpet with LifeGuard backing is waterproof, durable, cleanable and pet-friendly. But it is also designed to be aesthetically pleasing as well, appealing to today's customer needs. The customer doesn't have to make the choice between fashion and function — they can have both. It's durability and protection without sacrificing beauty.
Shaw LifeGuard keeps 100 percent of the spill above the surface. No other carpet can offer this level of peace of mind for the customer. Come see a demonstration of this carpet at Panama City Tile.

Each month we look to highlight one of our employees and the great work that they do here at Method!
Abel is a project manager and manages all stages of public projects while also helping in the permitting process for these projects. He was born and raised in Austin, Texas and right out of high school he went to work for an architecture firm where he fell in love with the field!
Check out our latest catch up with Abel:
What first interested you in architecture?
It's funny, because in High school, I was in a career program to see what I wanted to do. At the time I was working in a restaurant, and I would do floor plan layouts of the restaurant. The main factor that drives my passion is turning a building, home, or office space over to a client and having them appreciate it. Seems like everyone likes a new office space or home.
What is favorite project you are currently working on and why?
My favorite project right now is Blanton Elementary School. It's not about the architecture on most of these renovation school projects, it's about the people and getting to know the principals and staff well. There are so many times when you are asked to fix or just jazz up a space that is not in the scope of work and making it happen. I think the teacher's lounge is going to be nice.
What past project are you most proud of and why?
I think that would be when we converted a grocery store into a cancer radiation center in Baltimore, Maryland. It was fun working with the hospital team on a facility that would help people.
What do you enjoy most about working at Method?
I like the work policies, people and freedom like no one is looking over your shoulder. The office is clean, easy going and refreshing!
Outside of work, what are your favorite hobbies and things to do?
Of course like a lot of people, I like golfing, but what really relaxes me is doing gardening and landscaping around the house. The other thing I do is play sax in a local band called PEARL. We do Blues, Rock and also have lots of originals.

I miss you when I'm cooking eggs.
No. Really.
I miss you when I'm missing my new girl.
She has no ass like you.
But she has prettier eyes than you.
Eyes like two moons.
On a grey cloud.
She is nothing like you.
Nothing like us.
Nothing like the fights we had.
Until ugali and sukuma wiki.
Turned cold.
Like pussy before.
Nothing like you.
She is.
She is not a poet either.
So if I break her heart twice.
I'll know her tears will be true.
Her pain won't be empty words.
On a page.
And the world won't give a damn.
About our drama.
Like who didn't clean the dishes.
Or who texted first.
She won't hide her smile.
Behind colourful words.
And three layers of lipstick.
She is nothing like you.
She is smart.
She is lonely.
I can easily cheat on her.
With you.

As 2017 ends, we take a look back at the Military Aviation Photography Singapore (MAphotoSG) group's growth in its second year, as it puts into action changes in its editorial directions and the addition of new thematic focuses on its activities and coverage. These changes were made in mind to enable the group to reach out to a more diverse group of readers who may have interests in different spheres. Some of the major events covered in Asia and Europe included the Royal Thai Air Force (RTAF) Children's Day Air Show, Australian International Airshow, Langkawi International Maritime and Aerospace (LIMA) Exhibition, Paris Air Show, NATO Tiger Meet, Tactical Weapon Meet, the Mach Loop and the December 44 Museum & La Gleize Show.
On the homefront, we were present in almost every significant local aviation and military-related events, such as the Republic of Singapore Navy (RSN) International Maritime Review, IMDEX Asia, Rotorcraft Asia & Unmanned Systems Asia, WingsOverAsia Private Aviation Show, Army Open House, National Day Parade, Republic of Singapore Navy 50th Anniversary Exhibition, and the special behind-the-scenes coverage of the NDP State Flag Rigging and RISING50 Flypast.
Moving into the new year, the group will be looking at increasing its presence and publicity in more events and activities, and self-funding will be a point of focus in being able to achieve this. Also, the Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF) will be celebrating its Golden Jubilee in 2018, and MAphotoSG will be there to cover the celebrations of this historic milestone.
Here are our member's pick of images from 2017. We look forward to the continued support from our readers and we wish all a Happy New Year!

It takes a while for me to get the photos I want. My siblings are younger.. and sometimes it's tough for them to understand what exactly I want taken. This time, I took them myself. Tripod and timer. Let me know how you think they came out in a comment below! Also-- I totally don't think there's anything wrong with wearing a sunhat like this just around town instead of like at the beach where you would typically see them.. The shorts are actually hand me downs from my brother's speech therapist, and if you read my other post from earlier today.. You may recognize the Birks. I'm in love with this pair, and I would wear them all day every day if I could. Also while I was shooting this.. three bees flew in my hat/hair and a black cat was crawling around in the woods all while my neighbors were walking around and awkwardly staring at me running back and forth to the tripod and back under the trees... I mean I don't know, I guess it was pretty funny to watch!

Video Marketing touches on many areas of expertise, way beyond marketing and communications, ranging from creative disciplines (like writing, and visual design), to the technical, digital, and analytical aspects (like shooting, animation, and search engine optimization), to lastly logistical skills (like shoot planning, and distribution).

However, when it comes to creating a video for your small business things can be kept simple without sacrificing impact.
As small business owners we always try to find a balance between quality, price, and reasonable turnaround. We're told, that we can only have two out of three, but I think we can "beat the system" if we pay attention to detail and manage (mostly our own) expectations.
- Video marketing for small business is about paying attention to the right details at the right time.
So, what are the most common mistakes small business owners make with their first video? Here a list of the 10 most common mistakes I come across time and again: Continue to the full article.

IT was scandal that brought Harry C. Stonecipher out of retirement and made him chief executive of Boeing. Now a different kind of scandal has forced him back into retirement, and sent Boeing's board scrambling to find a new chief executive.
The announcement of Mr. Stonecipher's departure came only days after the company's share price hit a three-year high on the news that a division was again able to compete for United States Air Force contracts. He had received generally good grades for turning the company around, but in the end he was forced out because the board took a strict view of proper conduct.
Boeing announced yesterday morning that its board had asked Mr. Stonecipher, 68, to resign and that he had agreed to do so. The announcement said that Mr. Stonecipher, who is married, had admitted having a consensual "personal relationship" with an unidentified female executive, who did not report directly to him.
Lewis Platt, Boeing's nonexecutive chairman, said that Mr. Stonecipher had violated Boeing's code of conduct. But when asked if it was simply because Mr. Stonecipher had had an affair, Mr. Platt responded that having an affair was not a violation of the policy. He declined to say what the violation was.
Boeing's previous scandals were related to its business with the Pentagon. In one case, it obtained improper information on a competitor's bid. In another, an Air Force procurement officer eventually pleaded guilty to steering business to Boeing, which had given a job to her daughter and was in the process of hiring her when the scandal erupted.Continue reading the main story
Mr. Stonecipher ran McDonnell Douglas from 1994 to 1997, and engineered that company's merger with Boeing, a deal that expanded Boeing's military contracting business and left the United States with just one maker of large commercial aircraft. It may also have led Boeing to rest on its laurels in the commercial business. Airbus has since passed it in terms of commercial aircraft delivered each year.
Mr. Stonecipher served as Boeing's president and chief operating officer until May 2001, when he retired as an officer and became vice chairman of the board. He left that post to become chief executive on Dec. 1, 2003, with a mandate to repair relations with customers in the Pentagon and in the airline industry.
On Friday, the company got the good news that the Air Force had lifted a 20-month suspension of Boeing's launching systems group, which had been involved in one of the scandals that gave Mr. Stonecipher the job, although a Justice Department investigation is continuing.
The shares traded Friday as high as $58.74, up 54 percent during his tenure at the helm. The share price fell 8 cents, to $58.30, in New York trading yesterday after the announcement that Mr. Stonecipher would be temporarily succeeded by James A. Bell, the company's chief financial officer. In his tenure as chief executive, Mr. Stonecipher did seem to get Boeing back on track, although it is far from clear that the new 787 Dreamliner -- Boeing's bet on the future -- will succeed. Sales have begun to come in, but most of the American airlines face financial difficulties that make it difficult to place orders for any new aircraft.
"The team has been committed to restoring our reputation and at the same time keeping our eye on the ball of running the business," Mr. Stonecipher said last fall, as he announced earnings that exceeded Wall Street expectations. "We are relentlessly focused on execution, meeting our commitments, driving our performance to new levels and restoring our reputation with all our stakeholders."
Now Boeing will have a temporary chief executive and speculation, or revelations, about just what it was about Mr. Stonecipher's "personal relationship" that constituted a violation of the company's code of conduct.Continue reading the main story

Quite a lekker spot the locals surf. This wave gets quite heavy as it offloads a direct raw swell over a sea-urchin infested reef. It get's really good with medium sized swell on pushing tide. Try for early morning winter swell. Your feet WILL get shredded.
You can time the set for an easy paddle by rockhopping onto the furthermost rock after walking down the tidle pool wall.
Don't try to paddle in during big swell, there's a strong rip that will wash you out far to the left of the break.
It gets quite heavy on big swell during low tide as it breaks way back on another reef and then offloads on the closer reef so a lot of paddle is involved but easy to jump in during high tide.
This wave get's really good.

As one of the fastest growing credit card issuers in the country, Credit One Bank already has 7 million loyal members.
But there's something different about this pool of cardholders: most of them have less than perfect credit.
Paying off a credit card demonstrates the kind of responsible borrowing behavior the three major credit bureaus look for when increasing your credit score.
Yet if your credit score dips too low, you may find it hard to gain approval for a credit card at all.
Credit card applicants with low credit scores are often given very high interest rates and very low credit limits if they do happen to score an approval.
They also don't normally qualify for credit cards that offer rewards either.
So maybe that's why 85% of Credit One Bank cardholders would recommend a Credit One credit card to their friends.
According to Credit One, they've paid out over $33 million in cash back rewards to their members.
While the thought of simultaneously repairing your credit score and earning cash back sounds like a total win, there's a lot more you'll need to consider before applying for a Credit One Bank card.
What Is Credit One Bank?
With words like "credit" and "bank" in their name, you may be confused as to what Credit One Bank actually offers if you've never heard of them.
Let's clear that up.
A Brief Rundown of Credit One Bank's History
Back in 1984, First National Bank of Marin (FNBM) opened as a full-service bank in San Rafael, California.
They offered your typical variety of banking services until the late 90s when they decided to focus their attention on credit cards.
After relocating their headquarters to Las Vegas, Nevada in 1998, FNBM received the green light from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), a bureau of the U.S. Department of the Treasury, to operate as a CEBA bank in 2005.
CEBA banks are only allowed to "engage in credit card activities," as the FDIC puts it, and cannot perform other routine banking transactions like making commercial loans.
FNBM changed their name to Credit One Bank, N.A. in 2006, and adopted a logo to better represent their mission of helping cardholders improve their credit scores.
Though Credit One Bank doesn't have any branches you can visit, you can apply for three different credit cards they offer online.
Services and Products Offered by Credit One Bank
A majority of credit card issuers offer both secured credit cards and unsecured ones.
Here's the difference:
A secured credit card requires a cash deposit to "secure" your credit limit. If you deposit $500 to the bank backing your credit card, you generally have a $500 credit limit. This removes the risk of lending you money since you're providing the money upfront.
An unsecured credit card does not require a cash deposit. If you're approved, you'll be given a line of credit and you'll be able to make purchases with your card up to this limit.
Credit One Bank issues unsecured credit cards aimed for applicants with low and bad credit scores.
This makes their cards a good choice for those who cannot afford to make a secured credit card deposit before needing to use their line of credit.
Who are their cards best for?
When credit card issuers screen for qualified candidates, they check every applicant's:
- Credit score
- Income
- Credit history
- Income-to-debt ratio
If any one of these factors falls short of the criteria set by that credit card issuer, your application will get denied.
So one of the first factors every potential applicant should check when researching credit cards is actually the easiest to find: your credit score.
When you know your credit score, you'll have a better idea of your approval odds.
Credit scores generally break down as:
- Excellent: 750+
- Good: 680–749
- Average: 600–679
- Poor: under 600
As David Weliver writes for Money Under 30, "Most so-called 'prime' and 'superprime' credit cards are only available to applicants with credit scores of 750 or better."
On the other hand, Credit One Bank approves applicants with credit scores as low as the mid 500s, making them ideal for people who have previously been denied credit cards but want to build or rebuild their credit history.
Checking Your Application Status
You should receive an answer as to whether you're pre-approved for a Credit One credit card online within a few minutes.
However, sometimes Credit One will need additional time to approve your actual application for a credit card.
You can check the status of your application any time through their website.
You'll need to enter your last name and social security number to do so.
You can also contact the designated Application hotline at 1-800-752-5493 (between the hours of 5:00 AM–9:00 PM PST Monday–Friday; and 6:30 AM–5:00 PM during weekends).
Payment Options
Credit One Bank does not operate any locations or brick-and-mortar branches — that means you cannot simply walk into a Credit One establishment to pay your monthly bill.
What are the Acceptable Payment Methods?
Credit One Bank accepts payments in the form of:
- Checks
- Money orders from MoneyGram and Western Union
- Debit/ATM cards when you pay online using the Express Payment option
You cannot use another credit card to pay your Credit One Bank credit card bill.
What Is the Minimum Payment?
Your minimum payment is the minimum amount you must pay at the end of your billing cycle in order for your account to remain in good standing. To find out how this number is calculated, check the terms of your specific card in your Cardholder Agreement.
You cannot make a payment less than $1.00 as that's the minimum amount of interest Credit One will charge.
If you fail to make your entire minimum payment by your bill's due date, you'll be charged a late fee.
What Are the Late Payment Repercussions?
You'll be hit with a late fee of $37 if your payment posts after your payment due date.
To give you an idea of what's considered late, if your payment is received by Credit One:
- Before 2:00 PM (PST) Sunday through Friday, it will post the same day and show up online in the "Posted Activity" section of your account "Overview" page the following business day.
- After 2:00 PM (PST), it will post the following business day.
- After 5:00 PM (PST) Friday and before 2:00 PM (PST) Saturday, it will post Sunday.
- After 5:00 PM (PST) Saturday, it will post the next business day.
Where Can I Make the Payments?
You can pay your Credit One credit card bill by mail or online from your account page.
To pay your bill my mail, send your payment coupon, your monthly statement, and a check to:
Credit One Bank
Payment Services
P.O. Box 60500
City of Industry, CA 91716-0500
FYI: Payments received by mail are not processed during holidays such as: New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, or Christmas Day.
You also have the option of mailing a payment using MoneyGram's ExpressPayment service. Just provide your 16-digit Credit One Bank credit card account number and the Credit One 4-digit Receive Code (1430).
To mail a payment using Western Union, use your 16-digit credit card account number with the Credit One "code city" (CREDITONEBANK) and "code state" (NV).
To pay your bill online, login to your Credit One mobile account dashboard and navigate to the "Current Snapshot" page where you'll have an up-to-date summary of all your account information, including your payment due date and minimum payment.
Hit the "Pay Bill" button and you'll have two choices:
1. Pay using the Standard Payment option and your funds will be available in "about five business days" according to Credit One Bank.
This means if you pay $100, you'll need to wait around five days to see that $100 added as a credit to your account.
You're only allowed to use your bank account to make a Standard payment so you'll need to have your account and routing numbers handy.
There's no fee charged when you choose the Standard Payment option.
2. Pay using the Express Payment option and your funds will usually be available the next business day.
You can use either your bank account or your Debit/ATM card to make an Express Payment.
Be warned:You'll be charged a fee of $9.95 for choosing the Express Payment feature.
Credit One Bank credit cards may not have all the glitz and glamour associated with other celebrity-endorsed credit cards, but that doesn't mean they're not the right option for someone who's been denied credit in the past and wants to rebuild their credit now.
If you're in this boat (as many Americans are), here are the top four benefits of a Credit One credit card:
Great for those with Poor or Limited Credit
Credit One credit cards are geared for applicants with less-than-awesome credit scores.
Their high approval rating is great for people who have been denied credit cards in the past due to their poor or limited credit history.
Unlike secured credit cards that require a deposit to use, the unsecured credit cards from Credit One don't require any money down to start borrowing and making purchases right away.
Plus, certain applicants will be eligible to earn 1% cash back rewards—an unusual credit card perk for applicants with low or bad credit scores.
Helps Rebuild Your Credit History
As an unsecured credit card, all of your spending and repayment activity attached to your Credit One Bank card gets reported to all three major credit bureaus.
Display creditworthy behavior—like only spending 30% of your credit limit and paying off your purchases several times each month to keep interest charges to a minimum—and your credit score will slowly climb into the higher ranges.
You'll then start to qualify for better offers from other credit card issuers with your shiny, new-and-improved credit score.
Offers Various Reward Programs Attached to their Cards
Most credit cards given to applicants with little or bad credit offer very little in the way of loyalty rewards. However, Credit One cardholders have the chance to earn 1% cash back for their eligible purchases.
NASCAR fans carrying the Official NASCAR Visa card will also earn double cash back online at the NASCAR.com Superstore.
Plus, all the Visa-backed Credit One cards come standard with access to Visa Offers and perks, like travel accident and auto rental collision insurance when you book your vacation with your Credit One Visa.
You Can Check Your Credit Score Progress for Free
All Credit One Bank credit cards give their cardholders access to free online credit monitoring so they can watch the progress of their credit score in real time.
Tracking your credit score every month helps you nail down exactly what's hurting or helping your credit score.
Despite those four benefits, there are three downsides you should also consider before submitting a formal application to Credit One.
Credit One credit cards may be a gift for some and nightmare for others.
To get them to work for you, you'll need to overcome these three negative points:
Annual Fees Vary Based on Your Creditworthiness
It's not uncommon for credit cards offering rewards to charge an annual fee. After all, this fee helps cover the costs associated with giving away all that cash back and member-exclusive swag.
Typically this annual fee is a one-price-fits-all kind of thing.
However, Credit One bases their annual fee on your creditworthiness.
That means you could be on the line for an annual fee depending on what your credit looks like when you apply for a card.
Customer Reviews
Customers reviewing the Credit One cards frequently complain about high interest rates and expensive annual fees.
Other negative reviews seem to focus on the lack of credit limit increases and the not-so-friendly customer service representatives:
But cardholders who do their homework and understand the way Credit One operates are more than satisfied with their services.
You'll see so many mixed reviews for credit cards because everyone's financial history and credit needs are different.
Take these opinions as general market research before deciding what's right for you.

Twenty-nine-year-old Ngor Chhay is a showroom manager at Kah Hock Pte Ltd, a technology distributor on the fifth floor of Phnom Penh's sky-scraping Canadia Tower.
Kah Hock is famous for distributing world-wide brands including Acer; just recently, Kah Hock imported Singapore's SINGTECH latest laptop model, allowing the user to view the screen in 3D.
Ngor Chhay graduated with his Bachelor's in Information Technology from Phnom Penh International University, and has worked at Kah Hock for nearly four years.
At first, he began as a technician – but due to his diligence and eager attitude, he was promoted to a showroom manager.
Ngor Chhay works six days per week, Monday to Saturday, from 10am until 7pm. As a showroom manager, it's his job to both repair broken devices and facilitate his sales team.
This facilitation involves checking on the showroom's devices, controlling data, reporting and liasing with his superiors, and making sure that inventory is kept stocked.
Although Ngor Chhay is a busy man, he still manages to keep cool and maintain control – which is why he says he's successful at his particular job.
But like anyone else, he runs into problems and obstacles on a daily basis.
When it comes to making repairs, Ngor Chhay said there's one recurring problem he just can't seem to fix.
"When a customer has a broken laptop, we repair it successfully and then the customer brings it home and makes the same mistake that broke it in the first place," he said. "It's not a big problem for the customer because our warranty covers repairs until the customer is satisfied with the product."
When it comes to facilitating his staff, Ngor Chhay noticed that some will often come in late and ask for permission to take more time off than allowed by company regulation. To solve the problem, he said, "First I'll alert that staff person that there's a problem, but if there's no change, I'll report it to the human resources department so that they can address the problem."
Ultimately, Ngor Chhay is satisfied with his job and where his success has taken him.
He's most happy that it allows him to support his family and keep them comfortable.
Outside of work, Ngor Chhay is pursuing his Master's in Public Administration at Chamroeun University of Poly-Technology.
In the future, Ngor Chhay hopes to open his own business alongside his wife and daughter.
