That would be great. I have not found a dedicated thread concerning secured cards. It is such an important aspect of rebuilding though and it seem a little database would be helpful. Forum members could add potential cards (the obvious choices and CU oddballs) as well as data points. I also have info from my calls to various CU's on many different secured cards that I have not yet apped for. (just waiting for a score bump on EX etc.)
Added mine as well.
We should urge others to add there as well. It will help us and others in the same boat.
I just applied, and was approved for $200. It was my first time seeing the opportunity to add my checking account information at a later date. I have until Dec 17th (14 days) to fund the account. My score is in the 520 range with a few collections that I'll be working on clearing in 2019. Good luck to all.
I also would like to get the US Bank Skypass secured, but I'll try for that at a later date.
Here's the email I got late last night:
