I use this secured card for my amazon payments and purchases. I get 2% back, sometimes more on black fridays. Thanks to ID theft i needed to rebuild my credit. my first payment my score lowered ( most likely due to the credit bureaus updating the old info) the next month after making a payment (paid the card in full, dont spend it, if you cant pay it back immediately) my score jumped like Micheal Jordan. Ive seen smaller increases as time has gone by.
I did secure it with a lower balance than i was approved for. In hindsight I wish I had deposited more. increasing the limit seems to be more of a hassle than just making and additional deposit after requesting an increase
All in all, I definitely would suggest this card, even if nothing more to pay your monthly amazon subscriptions and build your credit from that
