No credit card required
Browse credit cards from a variety of issuers to see if there's a better card for you.

Congrats on the approval! I know you were hoping for more but just remember NFCU will grow with us! Seems like every three months is a good spot to ask for a CLI! Congrats again, I know the feeling!
Any gas cards friendly? What are the requirements?
Unfortunately, there are none of those in my area.
Have you tried calling your local banks and unions to see they offer secured cards? I know that you can apply for a First Progress secured credit card.
i was declined for a secured card.... omg... this is frustrating...looking at all of the others...
Try creditone bank, high fees but its a start
I was able to get a Marathon and Speedway card.
I've been lurking in these forums for months and finally decided to post!
Anyway - my husband and I filed Chapter 7 BK on 1/30/13, had creditor meeting 3/8/13 and I was approved for Capital One card on 3/11/13 for $300. We both have secured credit cards through our bank (Armed Forces Bank/Academy Bank) for $300, approved on 3/12/13. My credit scores are Experian - 630, Equifax - 529, Transunion - 529. I am awaiting discharge and formal paperwork so I can start the tedious process of correcting numerous things on my credit reports as some are not even being listed as included in the BK.
