No credit card required
Browse credit cards from a variety of issuers to see if there's a better card for you.
$84 a year for a subprime card is quite a bit. Especially when it only reports to one bureau. Yes, it will do you a little good, but at a pretty high cost in the long run. The CL isn't important at this stage (as long as you keep your UTIL down). It's simply a matter of building up a track record of on-time payments that increases your score.
I admit that I have an OpenSky secured card with a $300 limit and an annual fee of $35, which isn't very good. A year ago my scores were in the high 500s and that card helped quite a bit so I understand where you're coming from. It's just that there are better options out there for rebuilders.

Same deal as My Jewelers Club, you have to pay but it's so worth it to help keep utilization down😊
Happy Building Everyone!
Thanks for the info OP for the info on so many cards i didnt hear about !!!
Here is my experience...
DSX is Practiclly out of Business, they are no longer reporting and seems they had their credentials revoked. (lost more than $100 here).
Horizon Gold Card $30/mo fee seems to be huge and i feel there are other revolving cards out there
I got My Jewelers and got $5k but the starting cost is $200+ and report to all 3
I got Fingerhut for $0 and got $2.5K and report to all 3
I got Shopsimplio for $69/yr and got $3.5K and report to TU & EQ
Heard about NEW coast... But seems like another MyJewelers kind of $200+ to get started - Worth it?
