Poor Credit Score? Find the Best Bad Credit Card
Having a poor credit rating can seriously limit your choices of credit cards. Most credit card companies are likely to turn down your applications, making things tough for you at a time when you most need a credit card. Fortunately though, that’s not the end of it as you have another option of bad credit cards. Naturally, this is a temporary solution until you can get back on your feet. Bad credit cards can also be used to help you improve your credit score, as long as you pay your credit card bills on time, that is. The only drawback to this would obviously be the higher than usual APR interests.
Nevertheless, if you are willing to provide collateral to the credit card company, you may qualify for a secured bad credit card with a lower APR. This way, you can still earn interests on your collateral, and simultaneously enjoy good rates. The downside is, you may be charged other fees such as annual fees or start up fees.
Before you apply for a bad credit card, it is prudent to do your homework first. As bad credit cards are usually offered to those with poor credit ratings, the APR would unlikely be low. Thus, comparing the various offers of bad credit cards out there would be a wise move.
One of the primary factors of consideration includes the upfront fees that credit card companies would charge you. In order to make a wise evaluation, it’s best that you have a plan to pay off your debt before your interests snowball. Other factors that you can use to help you make a better decision would be to analyze the reward programs that your bad credit card can offer. If you are entitled for retail discounts at specific retail stores when you charge to your bad credit card, this would be even more enticing.
With all these factors to consider, it is clear that you should look around before you apply for a bad credit card. Compare and contrast the various fees and rates of the candidate companies. Only after careful consideration should you take the next move and submit your application.

Maybe, it depends on how good or bad your credit score is. If you've not been late or missed any payments, there's a decent chance you can get a balance transfer deal at a much lover interest rate than you cite here. But a word of caution, you seem to be getting in too deep on your credit, perhaps credit counseling would be a wise step for you. It's not preachy at all, just helpful. Run "Credit Counseling" through a search engine and find one that sounds good for you. But do not pay for such help, it should be free.

You should probably shop around for another secured card…There is absolutely no reason why you should need a co-signer on a secured credit card. The bank already has a security deposit from you equal to your line of credit with a secured card. Because of this they are 100% protected from default and have no risk of loosing money. It's ridiculous to demand a co-signer on such a card.

No – but this practice known as piggybacking won't work soon cause all the rating agencies if they haven't already are in the process of negating the effects of piggybacking.

If your accounts are showing as delinquent on your credit report, you need to ask your creditors for a "pay for delete". A pay for delete is basically where you pay and they delete.
Make sure you get it in writing that they will delete the account (or mark it as "paid as agreed" before you pay.)
There are many other techniques you can learn to repair your credit. Visit the site below to learn of them.

I'm thinking the mob.
Okay…seriously. Talk to your financial aid officer. Don't do private loans unless you HAVE too. Your financial aid officer should really be able to help out.
If you are under the age of 24 I think you can try and get a parent's plus loan with the help of your parents, even if they don't qualify you'll still get federal loans in your name.
Remember to file the FAFSA at http://www.fafsa.ed.gov to get federal help.

If you still have any bills that are due, you start paying them NOW, and your credit will start to go up.
I just turned 18, and I have 4 credit cards. Each for a different category of things I need.
One Chase Credit Card, for my phone, gas, and electric bill.
A wal-mart card for groceries.
A Best Buy card for my laptop.
And I have an American Eagle card, for when I need clothes.
My combined payments add up to about 100 dollars at the end of the month, BUT, I bought things I needed, and I pay my bill on time.
What you could do is apply for store cards, at places such as wal-mart, or somewhere similar, and buy things you need, such as groceries, and pay your bill each month, and you will see an increase in your credit.
Bad credit isn't easy to repair, but it can be done, it's not impossible!
Good luck!

My first thought is, where did you get the score?
From the Experian site?
Don't waste your money. FICO is the only score that is accurate.
Right now they're having a summer sale. Visit their web page for the info.
There are three credit bureaus, so there will be three scores, one for each.
You might be pleasantly suprised at what FICO gives you for scores.
The first time I ever paid for scores, I was ignorant. I got Transunion's vantage score and it showed me nearly 60 points lower than the genuine FICO scores. Imagine my elation!

To answer your question, 621 is pretty low. You want to be at 680 or higher to get better interest rates.
