   I posted this a couple days ago, but my system was set to 1992 instead
   of 1993, so it doesn't appear that it ever really got posted....

   Does anyone have a list or references about banks (or other similar
   institutions) that will issue a *secured* VISA or MasterCard?  I checked
   with my local bank (where I've been doing business with no problems
   for almost 7 years), and although they do offer that, they have a
   ceiling of $1500 credit limit, regardless of how much you are willing
   to deposit to secure the account.  (ie, it would seem logical to me
   that if I was willing/able to deposit $4000 into the secured account,
   then my credit limit would be $4000, but apparently this logic escapes
   my local bank).  I'm preparing to do some consulting work (hopefully),
   and after airfare, hotel, etc for an extended number of weeks, that
   $1500 can be eaten up real quick.
