Orchard and the other garbage is full of fees.Your best option is to talk to either a credit union or your local banker about doing either a secured loan or credit card.Another popular option is the Bank of America secured card.

I agree...........Orchard is NOT a good card to go with. I had Orchard for a while. They said they would help me establish credit. For the first 4 or 5 months, that I had the card, they din't report ANY activity on my CR. However....the fees were getting outrageous!! They REALLY 'stick it to ya.' And THEN they report this to the CB's. They are almost impossible to talk to...Customer Service, I mean.

Orchard is definitely not a card you'd want with perfect credit but, so far I've had no problems with them. I pay my balance in full as soon as my statment is ready. They've updated my credit report perfectly so far. They showed up on my credit report the day after my first statement was paid.

I have a First Premier. Their fees are high, however they report regularly to the credit bureaus. I only use it once a month, and pay it off in full as soon as I get my statement. My credit score has been going up slowly each month.

I looked at them all, some have upfront fees & leave you with a small balance, the others like orchard give you the full amount to use, but if your 1 day late (which didn't help my credit) they call you constantly & charge late fee's up to $39.

If the reason for getting a secured card is to rebuild your credit, it seems that you would definitely want to avoid paying late, no matter which card you choose.
