What's holding your scores down so low? Yes, there are some cards you can get, but they're predatory and cost a fortune in fees. (How about being charged a fee to pay online? Yup.)
What's your current util?
Yes, a second (and third) card will help, but I'd advise getting your scores up to around 620 before apping, to increase the chances of getting a card that won't make you completely nuts.
If you can post back with a summary of the good, the bad, and the ugly, we might be able to help you get your scores up first.
If you haven't already, please read

These will give you the background knowledge you need to understand what you read here on the forums.
