I agree with the secured card. Check with your bank if you have an account. They should be able to open one for you and just transfer the money. You’ll get it back after a year or so and it’ll just be a credit card. Just remember to pay off your balance completely every month.

This is a good solution for the long run. Do they extend the limits after 6 months? That's what I was seeing. Either way I do need an emergency card while I build savings up so I might do this regardless.

That’s why I recommend going through your bank. You can also open a savings account just for the card. I think the terms and limits vary by bank.
