I had a $500 Navy secured card for 6 months with clean credit history. I applied for an unsecured card last week and they approved me for a $10,000 credit line, 17.49% rate, and an $18 annual fee. I had a FICO of 607 when I was approved. They also just approved me for 2 auto loans totaling about $67,000 and an unsecured personal loan for $3,000. I'm finding out that they are very generous on their loans because every other lender turned me down for these same loans. The rates are high, but I'll negotiate those down once my scores improve.
Starting Score: TU=595, EQ=635
