read full answer by Elijah Nash, WalletHub AnalystWhat are the easiest airline credit cards to get approved for?
The easiest credit cards to get for airline purchases are secured cards, such as the Bank of America® Customized Cash Rewards Secured Credit Card. There aren't any airline credit cards for people with less-than-good credit right now.
The Bank of America® Customized Cash Rewards Secured Credit Card accepts applicants with bad credit and has a $0 annual fee. Plus, the card offers 6% cash back in a category of your choice during the first year, then 3% cash back, 2% back at grocery stores and wholesale clubs (up to $2,500 in combined quarterly spending across the choice category, grocery stores, and wholesale clubs), and 1% cash back on all other purchases.
