Different Credit Cards Do Help Build Credit Scores

Types of Credit Cards and How They Affect Credit Scores :

• Traditional Credit Card - The most commonly used card. The consumer is extended a line of credit by a financial institution and they are expected to make at least minimum payments on an agreed-upon schedule

• Secured Credit Card - This card requires the consumer to secure it with a deposit and may report to all three credit bureaus
  

• Prepaid Credit Cards - These are comparable to debit cards, except that they are not linked to a bank account.
