Lol at the 50k+ credit lines. Give me 40k for a year and I can show you a better way to build your credit. After 1 year I wil return your 40k. Win-win.

 

+1 for BofA Bankamericard Travel Rewards secured card being the best of its kind. The upper limit for the credit line is 10k. The card is reported as a secured card, which is not as valuable as an unsecured card with the same credit limit from a prime lender when you apply for a card and get your application manually reviewed.

That's news to me, I didn't know that BOFA had their Travel Rewards available on their secured card?  I had only heard of the 1-2-3.  You're absolutely right though about it's not being publicized, not sure why the 1-2-3 rewards (or even better the Travel ones if that works for you) make it the best secured product around.  

 

Their website last I checked actually says something like $4999, but I recently had a 5K secured card through them (post their listed limit on their website) so I know it's not entirely accurate.

 

@bahbahd: the only secured card I know that will go up to 50K is the SDFCU (State Department) and actually I think it tops out at 100K; comes with a EMV chip too which is the only secured card I'm aware of which does that if you travel in Europe at all.  I looked into it when there was a good chance of my being sent to the UK but while the project got killed, it did look like a good card.  +1 to Crashem for that information originally.

 

It wouldn't surprise me, boa offers secured versions of the 123, power rewards, upon rejection for unsecured versions, so it makes sense that the base version of the travel rewards has a secured version too.

When those cards graduate you'll have a heck of a time trying to get them to drop the annual fee-even though unsecured versions come without an af. But it its possible

Oops, I wanted to say 'Cash Rewards'. Sorry. I don't know if their Travel Rewards card also a secured version. Never seen and never asked. 

I have a USAA AmEx secured card and it doesn't report as secured.  Looks just like any other credit card when you review my credit reports.

USAA you have to have family member of military to joint these member
