I downloaded a popular credit checking app that I had seen like a million ads for and it recommended several secured cards. I was able to get a secured card from a major credit card company with a credit score of around 500. They would have allowed me to deposit up to $1,000 but I only did $200.

That is all that I am able to get as well. The issue is I am trying to get approved for the card so I can purchase a car. So I need money that I don't have, and it's my understanding that you can't get a balance higher than what you deposit, so it's essentially the same amount of money, just taken out of a card (or at least from my understanding).

$1,200 Max. I just need an A to B car. So even a card with $2 limit would be perfect.
