This so-called secured credit card will only work

It's because you don't know how to use it. The way it works is you use it for once a month, then repeat the usage for next month. Let's say you deposit $1,000 and you spend $20 on it for that month. Then you paid a balance off that $20 at least 2 weeks before the payment is due. Usually I set up an automatic payment from my bank so I don't think about it when is it due. I had this card and helped me build my credit from 500s to now upper 600s. This secured card should not be use on daily expenses you gotta have a debit card for that. This is just for one time or three transactions per month and then pay it off. that's the way it works.

I got this card a few years back and downloaded the app. I had a $200 limit. Each time I used the card, I would immediately pay it back, if not, the same exact day. The app wouldn't update my limit or show if I had made a payment until days later. This left me misinformed and I would also think I didn't have a balance due because of the slow app updates. They would take my payments but would report to the credit bureau that I was delinquent. I paid them off and immediately cancelled the card, which somehow also went against my credit. Absolutely a trash company.
