First UnSecured Card?

[Anonymous]

Hi all

(My Mistake, i meant to ask about unsecured cards).I was just wondering for everyone who started with really bad scores and unsecured cards, what was your first unsecured card and what was your scores when you got approved? Thanks everyone.

549 (TU FAKO). And I got a Cap1 secured. Didn't apply for any unsecured cards then but now I think I could possibly have gotten one...but the secured has done me justice.

Cap One was first secured for me with about a 580. Then when got rid of some baddies I got a BOA secured. If I had a do over I would have gone with SDFU. MUCH better than Cap One and no triple pull.

If eligible for NFCU, DEFINITELY get their secured as well.

540's across the board.  I was denied a BOA card and a local credit Uniion in August of last year.  I was able to get a USAA secured Visa in November and then found these boards.

My scores were in the 540's ...I was approved for Cap 1 Secured. last April...not the best card, but it helped rebound my credit.... 1 year later...I've been eligible for several unsecureds.

I got a 200 dollar capital one card that I had for 18 months before I applied for anything else. I went from 490 to 610. That's where my scores are now still

My first credit card is capital one secured card. I had No credit history, nothing. 

I was approved.

My first was with NFCU with scores in the mid to upper 500s.
