Bofa usually pulls EX, and your ex score I think is in the range to get the secured card with them, if you want to I don't see why not..

If you're up for it, it's really a great card. You can get one of the rewards versions as well. That's what I did Smiley Happy

Re: BoA secured card is it needed?

I got offered the rewards card as a secured version when I apped for the rewards card. I was hoping for the $99/$500 offer but I got the regular secured offer. I've heard of other members successfully calling and getting their regular secured cards converted to rewards secured cards. As with anything though, YMMV
