The SKYPASS Visa® Secured Card is a secured credit card, meaning it requires cash collateral upfront. But it offers both travel rewards and a sign-up bonus — somewhat rare benefits in the secured card realm — along with a handful of other perks.
SKYPASS is Korean Air's frequent flyer program, and the airline is part of the SkyTeam alliance, so miles earned with this card can be transferred to one of 18 other member airlines, including Delta.
But you'll have to weigh these benefits against the card's annual fee of $50. That's on top of a relatively high required minimum deposit. You can find similar credit-building cards that earn rewards without charging an annual fee. You might even qualify for an alternative credit card that requires no deposit either.
