I agree with the comment above. These credit card offers are for those with no credit, or bad credit. The fees are tacked on up front, to ensure that whoever opens the account will actually pay the bill (stemming from not having done so in the past).

It is disclosed in the offer letter.

The fees are disclosed in the solicitation letter. My sister gets them all of the time and keeps asking me if I think it's good deal for her.

Every fee is most definitely disclosed in these letters and I can run to my sister's house and take photos of the letter to prove it.
