Looks like I could be doing the Orange-cash pre-paid route. That sucks. I did go in personally though and thought that I made a good impression... we'll see if that helps me.
EDIT: In fact, before I even applied I told the rep: "This is what my EQ and TU FICO scores are. Do you think I have a chance to be approved for a chip and pin card?" Rep didn't even blink and said, "Yes, of course".
Have you thought about getting their secured card as oppose to the Orange pre-paid? SDFCU secured card has the same benefits as their unsecured but their APR is 6.99%.
I asked about this and the secured card is not EMV chip and pin. But yes, I would be absolutley willing to secure $5000 at any bank if it got me a chip and pin card.
myFICO is the consumer division of FICO. Since its introduction 20 years ago, the FICO® Score has become a global standard for measuring credit risk in the banking, mortgage, credit card, auto and retail industries. 90 of the top 100 largest U.S. financial institutions use the FICO Score to make consumer credit decisions.
