With scores in the 500's, I really think your best overall option is to get a good secured card and fund it for as much as you can. It's unlikely you'll get approved for any worthwhile unsecured card at that level, and even if you do it'll almost certainly be with an undesirable long-term set of terms (small credit line, very high APR, etc.) Walmart is notorious for handing out small lines to subprime customers, though that being said CLI's are reportedly fairly easy to get; I was quite surprised when I got approved for $1,200 earlier this month - I was expecting something more like $500. I haven't been able to get a CLI yet on my $800 Amazon Prime store card dating from last November, though from what I've learned on this site I now suspect the main reason is that I haven't cracked the 650 mark on TU (which is irritating because I'm well above that on both EQ and EX). I used to shop regularly at my local Micro Center though I haven't been back there in a while; maybe later on when my inquiries have cooled down a bit I may try getting that card (I'm in the market for a new laptop).
