No credit card required
Browse credit cards from a variety of issuers to see if there's a better card for you.
Welcome to the forum... Congrats on the approval. Once the card is mailed, CAP 1 will send you a seperate email telling you it is on its way. Also, for your car rental needs you can proceed to use it once it is activated and CAP 1 sometimes take a while to report so it won't be reporting immediately.
Since you are in the process of rebuilding, I'd get another secure card (BOA) to add to the CAP 1 secure card.

Ok wonderful! Do you know how long after the deposit is made, the card is mailed? And I think I will apply for the BOA card. Other than credit cards, what else could I do to have a positive trade line?
CAP 1 usually mails out the card within 2 weeks. Good idea on the BOA. Also, to keep a positive tradeline always have 1-9% reporting to the bureaus. So if you spend alot of money on the card pay most of it before statement is cut /closes.
Also, since you have a couple of baddies on your report what steps have you taking to remove them? While working to establish positive tradelines, I'd also concentrate on removing the bad stuff also.
When i got my CAP one secured card a little under 2 years ago, it took them a few weeks to mail it out, with very little updates through out the process.
Hi Welcome to the Forums!
I recently recieved my second C1 card, it took about a week to come from when the email was sent, however I did recently product change a different card with them and have not received the new card or email stating it's on the way. So I would say jsut ontinue to wait, it should truly be any day now! Congrats once again!
