There are no unsecured credit cards that have guaranteed approval. There are, though, some unsecured credit cards that offer reasonable approval odds even if you have bad credit. You can check out our editors' latest picks for the best among them and weigh your options.

At this point, it is also worth noting that your credit limit could be low and the interest rates and fees pretty steep. So a secured credit card might be a better option.

In any case, keep in mind that any issuer would take into account various factors while considering your application, such as your income, credit history and any potential debts and liabilities you might have.

On that note, a good idea would be to first check your credit score to better assess your approval odds.

Answer Question

Best Unsecured Credit Cards for Bad Credit with High Approval Rate

Best Overall: Fingerhut Credit Account
Best for No Deposit: Credit One Bank® Platinum Visa® for Rebuilding Credit
Best for No Upfront Fee: Indigo® Mastercard® for Less than Perfect Credit
High Approval Odds: Total Visa® Card
High Rewards: Aspire® Credit Card
High Credit Limit: Surge Mastercard®

Overall, the closest you can get to guaranteed approval for a credit card is with secured credit cards, which require an up-front security deposit. Secured cards aren’t going to provide an emergency loan, but they do help rebuild credit.

What's the easiest unsecured credit card to get approved for?

One of the easiest unsecured cards to get approved for is the Credit One Bank® Platinum Visa® for Rebuilding Credit. You can get approved for it even with bad (300) credit. It offers a $300 starting spending limit. And you can use it wherever Visa is accepted.

This isn’t your only option, though. WalletHub’s editors compared all of the unsecured credit cards in our database of 1,500+ offers. And we selected our favorite easy-to-get offers.… read full answer

Here are some of the easiest unsecured credit cards to get approved for:

Rewards: Credit One Visa.

Small businesses: Capital One Spark Classic for Business.

No credit: Capital One Platinum Credit Card

No annual fee: Petal® 2 Visa® Credit Card.

Easiest store card: Fingerhut Credit Account.

Students: Journey Student Rewards from Capital One.

The easiest unsecured credit cards to get generally work best for minor emergencies. You will only receive a small amount of spending power, after all.

Unsecured credit cards for people with bad credit also tend to be very expensive, charging lots of fees and high interest rates. So, if you don’t need a small emergency loan, the best course of action is to improve your credit inexpensively with a secured card. Secured cards are cheaper than unsecured cards, build credit just as effectively, and offer the closest thing you’ll find to guaranteed approval.
