Yes. Make sure you know your current credit score. You may qualify for a unsecured credit card. Below is a way of interpreting your credit score. Given the current credit score stats, how does this relate to your own personal score? Generally, if your score is higher than 660, you will be considered a good credit risk. If your score is below 620, then you might have a tougher time getting a loan. The following ratings explain the impact of the different score ranges: * 720-850 - Excellent - This represents the best score range and best financing terms. * 700-719 - Very Good - Qualifies a person for favorable financing. * 675-699 - Average - A score in this range will usually qualify for most loans. * 620-674 - Sub-prime - May still qualify, but will pay higher interest. * 560-619 - Risky - Will have trouble obtaining a loan. * 500-559 - Very Risky - Need to work on improving your rating.

What is the Difference Between a consumer credit card and a secured credit card?

A consumer credit card is issued to you on good faith that you will build debt and pay it off. A secured credit card is issued to you for the amount that you deposit into a secured savings account. The debt you charge to your card cannot exceed the amount that you have in your account. Once you show good faith that you are responsible enough to maintain your credit to debt ratio and pay your bills on time, the company may offer you a consumer card in place of the secured card. A secured credit card is a great way to establish credit.
