Approved for capitol one secured credit card.

As my final option I applied for this credit card. I had to pay a $99 deposit and it has a $29 annual fee but this is so much better than nothing. $200 limit but only gonna use it to pay for gas anyways so I'm pretty stoked about building my credit.

Congrats treat it well

Before you app think...
Have you done your research of the CC?
Does it fit your spending?
Do you have a plan for the bonus w/o going into debt?
Can you afford the AF?
Do you know the cards benefits? Is it worth the HP?

Congrats! That's the same card I opened to start my credit rebuilding process. Treat it well and in a year you'll likely be approved for a non secured card!

Re: Approved for capitol one secured credit card.

So my 1 question is, if I want a bigger credit limit I can deposit more money for it, that I understand. But later on when I want to close the account would I get the whole thing back? I paid a deposit of $99 for a $200 limit. If I give them another $100 that should make my limit to $300. Later on if I want to close the account I should be getting back $199 correct?

Re: Approved for capitol one secured credit card.

congratz when your credit history improves and get better credit card offers

close it unless they waive the annual fees

i believe after a few on time payments they will offer you a CLI for an additional $$
