No credit card required
Browse credit cards from a variety of issuers to see if there's a better card for you.
Recently I applied for a cap1 journey and got denied... then I applied for a cap1 secure mastercard and got approved and paid $55 for a deposit, which required at least $49. After that I called cap1 because I didnt receive any type of conformation about the deposit on the card and if its being sent. The lady I talked to said she saw that and the card is being sent out and I received an email saying my Cap1 journey card is being sent out, About a week later I received a Cap1 Journey card and called because it wasn't the secured mastercard, which when I talked to the 1st rep told me that, that was the only card account on file and there isnt a deposit for that card... well after 1 other rep and a supervisor they "randomly" found the other account with the deposit and told me it was being sent out. I told them at 1st that if it wasnt on file that I didnt want it and just my deposit back but I feel like they created the account when I was on the phone after they found my deposit and issued the card. Anyways should I just keep the card or cancel it, which would be better for my credit and how much of an affect would canceling it be? I dont plan on using it but once a month just to mantain a good credit history, any info about secure card from them would be nice.. like does it eventually become unsecure, how often do you get credit limit increase, ect...
Thanks.
Welcome to the forums.
I would just keep both for a year then close the secured after that.
That is what I was planning on doing, Thanks!
