3. I provided $99 as a security deposit for a card with a $500 credit limit that charges a $29 annual fee with a 20% interest rate.

4. Since my account was in good standing(no late fees, over the limit credit, etc), 9 months later, they gave me my $99 security deposit back and raised the credit limit to $1,000.
wow, I had to talk to one of my dads contacts to get a credit line. I thought that was the only way.

BofA is a pretty good Bank, they also raised my credit limit from $700 to $1,200 in a relatively short amount of time. The only bad part is that my interest rate is 19%.
