Question
As I will be moving to the states in the next 6 months I know that I'll have to build my credit rating up from scratch again http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/frown.gif I have asked questions on Flyertalk before and it seems that a secured credit card will probably be my first step - so far I have only found 1 mileage earning credit card on the web:
the USBank Korean Air Skypass Card
http://www.usbank.com/cgi_w/cfm/creditcards/korean_air/skypass_secured.cfm
Does anyone know of any others? I'd prefer to only have the bare minimum amount of cash locked up in the card(s) and will still use my Australian cards until I have a reasonable credit rating - so would only be making the odd purchase on the secured cards to get a good payment history established.

If you can get an Amex in your current country, it can be instantly converted to a US Amex once you get a US address. Citibank have a similar arrangement but theirs is not as easy.
Answer
Citibank also offers a secured Citi AAdvantage card. You may have to ask a few times for the information since it isn't really promoted, but they do offer one.
