Answer 2

Your score needs tobe atleast 600  

Answer 3

Credit cards or prepaid debit cards are available for most credit scores. In fact, with some prepaid debit cards, your score is not even checked.

If you go the prepaid route, be sure to get one that does report to the credit reporting agencies so you can build your credit score.

Answer 4

That can depend on which card you're trying to apply for.

Secured cards are the easiest since money would be held as collateral to match a credit line. Based on my professional experience, I've seen people with a score as low as 450 get them.

As far as the unsecured ones, there are some that target people trying to build or rebuild their credit, and they may offer cards with low limits, but the problem is that the credit card company charges a ridiculous amount in fees that use up the available credit well before the card is received. More times secured cards are better in this situation because although money is held as collateral, it's more likely to get that back at some point. But as long as you have a mid 500 score, you could get one of these.

The "better" cards, like the ones with no annual fee, rewards, and lower APRs are for scores in the mid 600 on up.
