Bad credit credit cards with rewards?
Past mistakes have put me in a position with bad credit. I'm a lot more mature now and I'd like to start rebuilding it and I'm thinking my best way would be one of those bad credit credit cards. I've found a few online that are pre-approved (with deposit) but I was wondering if anyone knows of any that offer any kind of rewards? Something like airmiles would be great?
I'm also wondering if anyone knows if its better (credit building wise) to have a positive balance on the card? Say I deposit $300 a week from my paycheck onto the card then use it for day to day spending. Or is it better to just go into a negative balance then pay it off fully at the end of the month? Also assuming I'm spending $1000-$1500 and paying off fully a month how long would it realistically take for the bank to offer a better cc assuming there arn't any pre-approval ones with rewards? I'm thinking 6 months to a year depending on how bad my credit actually is?
