The Destiny® Mastercard® is a good card for anyone who has bad credit or has gone through bankruptcy and wants to improve their creditworthiness. It's an unsecured card that doesn't require a deposit, and even if your credit score is in the 300s (the lowest possible score), your application may qualify.
