Yes I've applied at Walmart and denied.
Victoria's Secret wouldn't do me any good because I'd actually have to buy something from them and that's not happening.
Pretty sure the Capital One Secured Card will cost you 3 more Hard Pulls just like the unsecured card did!
Did you contact GE about the Walmart card and try to get a manual review to approve? (You can find the number under the post in top called "Backdoor numbers"
I read somewhere GE denials are hard to recon except when there's wrong info on your CR, but it is always worth a shot.
If you want more secured cards, you can check out Bank of America and Wells Fargo. Their secured cards are relatively easy to get as long as there's no recent negatives (BK, CO, very late payments, etc), and they eventually graduate you to unsecure after some time. WF is very conservative for most new customers, but overtime they can be one of the more generous few with CLI and low APRs for loyal customers. I never had a Bank of America account so I can't tell you about them.
If you open or already have a checking/savings account with the banks mentioned above, your chances are probably going to be a lot more higher too.
I think Citi offers a secured card too?
And you can also check out other places such as local credit unions

I don't understand why I would have three more HP's if I've already been approved within the last thirty days for the unsecured card. Why couldn't they just use the previous pulls, especially since its for a secured card this time? Shouldn't the approval requirements be far less stringent on a secured card?
I did contact Walmart and they were absolutely no help. In a nut shell they just told me that they wouldn't even bother taking a second look until I wait thirty days and let them re-pull my credit.
You can pretty much count on new inquires for secure card. You are better off going bofa route. besides that garden time.

State Department Federal Credit Union has an automatic approval for a secured card if have a savings account with them. They put a hold on the funds in the account, but you can still deposit and withdraw as usual (except for the held funds). They don't pull your credit if you do it by phone, otherwise, it's a hard pull. No AF, 6.99%APR, and they report to all 3 CRAs as a secured card.
