I would suggest trying to credit step your way down the Capital One road.  It is worth a try.

I applied for the orchard card and they "approved" me for the
Annual Percentage Rate (APR) for Purchases Variable Customary APR: 7.90%1 will apply.
waive first year $39 fee and $200 minimum secured card.
 
Is this a decent one to have initially?
 
thanks

Not bad.  You have to crawl before you walk and walk before you run.  I would still look at Capital One though.  They have not CraP1'ND me yet.

I would suggest try for Crap 1 and maybe a targetcard. The Orchard bank card I would still take even if you get the other 2 because it will help to build a positive history that won't leave your CR's blank when the baddies drop off.

Re: Which card I could get?

the target seems to be an easy card to get.I was approved for it after going to target and purchasing some items for my daughter totally about 170 bucks. I went to use my cc and the cashier asked I wanted a target card after I scanned my other cc (I think its a preapproval when they do that). 200 bucks Smiley Sad but I think that's the norm
