- Does anyone have a list or references about banks (or other similar
- institutions) that will issue a *secured* VISA or MasterCard? I checked
- with my local bank (where I've been doing business with no problems
- for almost 7 years), and although they do offer that, they have a
- ceiling of $1500 credit limit, regardless of how much you are willing
- to deposit to secure the account. (ie, it would seem logical to me
- that if I was willing/able to deposit $4000 into the secured account,
- then my credit limit would be $4000, but apparently this logic escapes
- my local bank). I'm preparing to do some consulting work (hopefully),
- and after airfare, hotel, etc for an extended number of weeks, that
- $1500 can be eaten up real quick.
