It reports fast.  I got the alerts that the account hit all three credit reports before I even got my card last week.

They do know how to present a card ;-)  I was surprised by the box and packaging as well.  Beyond thrilled with their customer service.

Also, I just changed mine today from Chrome to IT.  When I was looking at the cashback differences, I think I will get a lot more use out of the 5% categories (and of course the double cashback rocks).  I chatted with a great rep online today and she switched me from the Chrome to the IT.  Just a fyi - it is an option depending on what you will use the card for.

Can you have both secured

Do you mean - can you have 2 secured cards with them?  If that is what you are asking, I don't know.

If you are asking if you can switch the secure Chrome to a secure IT, yes, that is what I did.  They just change the info online on your cashback.  It will go back into effect the day after your next statement cuts.  No changes with the card - same card number, etc.  They will just mail you a copy of the changes in your cashback rewards.  Other than the rewards, there isn't any other difference. Both cards have great rewards, but I will use the 5% categories a lot more than gas and restaurants. Plus, it will be great to double the 5%!

I tried to apply for the unsecured version in hopes to get the secured offer but never did. Its hard to understand why they have the secured version if you cant even apply for it.
