As mentioned those GE backed cards Amazon, Walmart are good.
But they may not approve you untill you have 6 months history. 6 months is what it takes to generate a FICO score.
In regards to the secured cards, I never had the BoA and it may be the better option. But I went with CapOne and it done alot to help me get going.
Fingerhut, BoA/CapOne Secured Card, and Kays Jewelry (or Jareds) are 3 that will get you gong now before 6 months is established.
If you get these just wait. You'll have a very hard time getting any approvals untill you have at the least a 6month tradeline.
