Where can someone with a poor credit history apply for a credit card?

You can get a "secured" credit card from many banks which are different from normal credit cards as you have to load on an amount of money and this is all that can be spend. You can get them even with a bad credit rating, but are not able to borrow money on them. Proper credit cards for people with bad credit history include Aqua, Aquis, Barclaycard, Capital One, and Luma.
