BOA Secured. Why so many different deposits?

Mine was only $99..which was offered to me after being denied for the Cash Awards they spammed me with because I've had a checking account with them for years that was never overdrawn or any baddies.

I keep seeing people having to put down $300 for the same $500 limit. Is that because they did't get denied for a previous card or because they don't have bank accounts with BOA?

Thanks. I know it's the lowest I was just wondering why others are so high? Even on their offer page it is $300. https://www.bankofamerica.com/credit-cards/credit-cards-to-build-credit/?VIEW=List


I was recommending it to someone else who is having trouble getting credit yet we didn't know why the deposit was so different.
