I would skip it.

 

Keep checking Cap One, Discover, and Merrick for preapproval for unsecured cards.

 

 

Rebuild started in 2014  -  $100k unsecured credit in 2017  -  $500k unsecured credit in 2024.

IMO Credit One are for those who can not achieve what you have already achieved.....

"I already have a Cap1 secured 200 cl & a Disco secured 300 cl."

I think you will be better off without it and you will be free of paying that monthly fee.....keep up the good work!!...Smiley Happy

Nooooo. Avoid Credit One if at all possible. Check Discover and Capital One prequals instead. 

Discover It: 26.5k
Fidelity Visa: 21.5k
Amex Cash Magnet: 20k
Apple Card: 9k

"Is it a good idea to get this card?"  For you,  probably not, given what information we have.   Better to focus on perfect payment on the secured cards you have, as well as all other debts.  Unsecured versions will likely be available soon enough.
