Welcome to the forum

Another option is 

https://www.sdfcu.org/

easy approval but won't graduate for 15 months 

US bank also has a variety of secured cards 

Before you app think...
Have you done your research of the CC?
Does it fit your spending?
Do you have a plan for the bonus w/o going into debt?
Can you afford the AF?
Do you know the cards benefits? Is it worth the HP?

There is no actual BEST card. All cards work differently. Some do auto CLI, some graduate faster than others, some have lower fees but looked down upon by certain creditors as toy cards so no one can answer that questions.

Hey MyJourney,

 

Thanks for that!!!,

 

This card seems like a no brainer as they dont require a credit check so no inquiries on your report.  Did you get one and if so how do you like it??

 

Thanks

Sorry for the delay internet was downSmiley Sad

I don't have one personally but I'm an active member of the CC forum and have done a lot of research on SFDCU cards to help people establish new TL's that report to all 3 CB's.

 

From all the members that have it ...it's a great card with rewards that build a positive history so I  highly recommend it for those reasons.

It's also important for rebuilders not to get a lot of INQ's thus slowing the rebuilding process and I just hate to see people go for cards get denied and end up stuck with the INQ for 2 years and still need new TL's.

 

Use it wisely and it will return the favor

Best wishes
