  1. .... with a score that low your best option is a secured credit card i seriously doubt you will find a company (even for those with bad credit) to approve you
  2. there are a couple of credit cards that will take the risk but your interest will be kind of high along with an annual fee but it will be a great way for you to re-build credit, check out www.fastcreditcardapprovals.com and go under poor or no credit section, just keep doing what you are doing and you should be ok. good luck and stay strong.
  3. www.mysalutecard.com www.rewards660.com www.creditonebank.com www.orchardbank.com www.cashyescard.com These are all unsecured mastercard or visa, but they have really high startup fees and low credit limits. But over time they will raise your limit, and if you pay on time every month your score should start to go up after the 3rd month of payments.
  4. When you can bring your score by 104 points then you can further improve it. For bad credit credit card you will atlest have to make a score of 580 or above. But for a good credit card it will have to be atleast 650 or above. So try to improve it. Youy can also go for a prepaid credit card and if you will pay your bills on time it will slowly improve your credit score. To know more you can visit http://www.creditcardbiz.blogspot.com
