How much  is on the credit one card? If you're just closing it down and moving the same amount of money to the other card it won't even effect UTL or AAoA

Before you app think...
Have you done your research of the CC?
Does it fit your spending?
Do you have a plan for the bonus w/o going into debt?
Can you afford the AF?
Do you know the cards benefits? Is it worth the HP?

MJ is correct. Plus, once you have the $1,500 secured limit for awhile you may be able to get into the Cap1 unsecured card and work your way up from there.

I think it sounds like a good plan.

My bad. I would be frustrated if I were paying multiple fees for a card when I had unsecured cards already. I would definetly go for the CLI on the other secured and close Credit One.

Re: Credit One

It sounds like you've outgrown Credit One already. I would go ahead and close.

Re: Credit One

Get rid of the Credit One card as fast as possible.  They are a bottom-of-the-barrel card and they rip you off with their ridiculous fees.  They are a waste of money.
