It's how well reviewed Capital One Platinum Secured is, out of 100. Negative and mixed reviews take points off, and so does having only a few reviews: a product needs plenty of them, compared with the most-reviewed products here, to reach the high 80s and 90s. It's worked out from reviews only, needs at least 5 of them, and updates as new ones come in.
Category: Starter card. Type: Secured credit card. Fees: $0 annual fee. Minimum: $49, $99 or $200 minimum refundable deposit.
