I got two cards with Orchard Bank and they use trickery to get outrageous fees out of me the customer, I had $14.00 credit left on my card and checked there web site to confirm this, knowing that I had this much credit and my next min payment was due in 30 days I spent $4.00
The next day I was ELEVEN CENTS over the limit how could that be, the web site normally has pending charges every time I use the card so I know were I
stand. NOT THIS TIME no record to go by my record of this was not there.
Next I was charged an overlimit charge of $30.00
The month before the same thing happened and I paid close to $300.00 in fees on both cars, when I called they said that I did not watch my account close enough, so I watched my account very close this time and sure enough they GOT ME, it seems they have a random fee they can pop in there to get you overlimit they have several ways to get you overlimit. And thats were they make the MONEY.
I am going to pay them there $300.00 and close this account, after reading the horror stories at this web site that may be very costly from what I have read NEW FEES to close the account could arise, information may be lost, who knows. I will get sued
All I can say dont deal with Orchard BAnk

I too was approved for just such a card. Along with my approval, I also received some really helpful advice that I would like to pass along to you.
From what I understand, you really need to be on top of your payments. They need to be EARLY. Not postmarked by due date, not paid online by due date, not merely on time, but EARLY by a week at least.
More importantly, you mentioned that you had $14.00 left on your card and spent $4.00. I was told that a card isn't considered "maxed out" when you've reached your limit! To the bank, it appears maxed out when you have anything below 10% of your overall credit limit left on it. For example, if your limit is $500, the bank considers you maxed at $451! Apparently, this effects any applicable late fees, APR, over the limit fees, annual fees, etc.
Please keep in mind that I don't work for this credit card company or any other, so I have no way of knowing if this is completely accurate, but it is pretty sound advice.
