Will being an authorized user boost my credit score enough for unsecured cc?

I'll probably go with the cap one secured until my scores are decent enough for an unsecured card. I'm also an authorized user on a cap one card.

Barclay's likes to see about 18 months of good payment history before they'll approve.

That's good to know. Definitely a card I would like to have next year or so. 

I'm mainly working on getting good credit so I can have a good rewards credit card for traveling. I was working out the pros and cons and it definitely will pay to use credit instead of cash and earn miles on purchases.

Capital One secured is where I started. Best of luck on your journey. You have a great attitude.
