Navy Federal Secured Approved!

I applied for one of the NFCU cards, and was declined.  My Fico score is 606, AAoA is 2 years.  I have several subprime cards, (First Premier, Credit One Visa, Credit One Mastercard.). I only have one baddie, a medical collection that i paid 1 month after it appeared.  However, I wasnt smart enough to request they remove it if i paid.  Now I know.  Anyways, after my denial, I applied for the Secured card from Navy Federal based on what i have been reading in the forums.  It was approved!!! Yes, I only started with the $200 deposit, I will only use it to pay my netflix bill, let the statement come out, then pay it.  I just wanted to share the good news that my foot is in the door.  I would love to get a signature, but was informed i have to post some to get to the rank of "member".   Well, off to a good start this month.  Thanks for all the good info guys (and gals).
