If that secured isn't reporting as secured, there would be no way for Chase to tell it is a secured card.
Second, I don't know where everyone gets that 12 months revolving credit thing for them, there have been DOZENS of approvals stated on this site in the last 6 months with less than a year of revolving history as long as there is additional support. Including: longer AAoA from installment loans, no baddies, high income, etc.
I think it has gotten to a mythical proportion, but the truth is that Freedom has become very attainable for many folks. In fact, for Pineapple's sake - I just saw someone with a lower AAoA, and similar revolving history (also with no baddies) get approved for a $5,000 limit on theFreedom card. Income was somewhere over $50k, so that likely helped. They didn't even have to call recon, which has been a great experience for so many people.
YMMV, but your profile appears to support future prime applications. Just be sure to take it slowly, the INQs will start catching up with you.
