There are several that will approve you, but very few that you actually want. Orchard Bank is your best bet. They have a small annual fee and none of the other fees normally associated with subprime credit cards. The interest rate is (14.90%) good for a subprime card.
Avoid First Premier, Tribute, Rewards 660, Imagine, Total, and Continental Finance. The fees are outrageous.
Avoid Capital One. They do not report your credit limit and that damages your credit score. Example, they give you a $500 limit and you use $250, they will report your limit as $250. This will damage your credit score because instead of using 50% of your credit limit, it looks like you are using 100% of your credit limit.
Good luck in finding ine without an annual fee, especially one for people trying to rebuild credit. Orchard Bank will probably be your best bet. They seem to be a pretty good card, hell I even got one of them myself!
