I don't have this card, but I guess they are like any other card and report your card activity to those 3 bastards, just like any other card, you need to take care of the card like a regular card and not miss payments and they make it unsecure after 18 months.

Re: Citi secured card

Hey, Did you ever find out whether Citi Secured Card reports as "secured" to the credit bureaus?  I got NOWHERE with the branch and 800 numbers (each gave a different answer).  Know anyone who actually saw how it goes down on their report?

 

Thanks!

Re: Citi secured card

It does not report to the big three, and it has a long graduation period compared to most secured cards

Re: Citi secured card

I would love this card if it didnt have such a long time to convert. I would like a Citi card myself but BofA is such a good bank and I think they are more generous when it comes to credit.
