Hey credit cousin,
[1]
Do you hold a secured credit card at navy federal or thinking about applying for one,
[6]
keep watching to learn what not to do if you have one?
[10]
I’ve been getting a
[25]
lot of questions and concerns about the secured credit card.
[30]
Many want to know how much should I deposit on a secured credit card?
[35]
& Many that have the secured credit card may have deposited more than the $200 minimum
[41]
and it has not graduated….
[43]
So let's talk about it.
[45]
If you plan on applying for the secured credit card, I highly recommend only depositing the
[50]
minimum $200 only and here’s why:
[54]
Many believe if you deposit $1000+ more then it will increase your credit limit more once
[60]
it graduates & its true BUT many are not financially stable to be in that position to just drop
[68]
$1000 on a credit card first and foremost, and that's $1000 that you no longer have access
[75]
to anymore for a while.
[77]
In most cases, the secured credit card is supposed to graduate within 6 months but let's
[83]
be real there are many that have not received their graduation day to an unsecured credit
[88]
card and it's been over 1 year+ and some over 3 years+...
[95]
Do you really want to give up $1,000 on a credit card to wait more than 1 year for a
[100]
graduation credit card?
[105]
It's not worth it and if you plan to use that secured credit card while using it for regular
[113]
purchase, you have remember you will be paying the APR if you leave any balance on it every
[119]
month, so you may end up paying it all back in apr fees and it could really get you in
[125]
a bind so less is more in this case.
[128]
You don't need to add more than $200 on a secured credit card to get a higher limit.
[134]
The goal is OPM, using other people's money and if it only takes $200 to get you in the
[142]
credit game, buy in and play your card rights in the game of monopoly!
[147]
I just want to make sure my credit cousins are at the top of their game because they
[151]
usually put over $500+ on a secured credit card and the credit card has not graduated
[157]
over 2 years so now you are out $500 for that long…That money could have went to credit
[165]
repair, paying off debt and more…
[168]
Be patient and everything will come out to you in full force.
[172]
Another thing to keep in mind, some secured credit cards do not refund you your money
[177]
after the credit graduates to a secured credit card so always do your due diligence and make
[184]
sure your secured credit card funds will be returned back to you.
[188]
I would hate for any of my credit cousins to deposit more than $1000 on a secured credit
[193]
card and you never get it back.
[195]
Good thing is navy federal does refund your fund back to you once your credit card graduates
[200]
but discover does not so be mindful of that too.
[201]
I hope this insight is helpful and this is not for everyone.
[204]
Some can deposit $1000+ and can be financially stable and it worked out in their favor.
[210]
This is for someone who is not in the position to really put more money in a security deposit
[214]
on a secured credit card.
