To answer your question, yes if you pay off your balance right away you wont pay any interest.

To be honest, your credit will only reflect the length of time you've had credit and your credit to balance ratio. Though by using your card, you increase your credit limit which helps your credit to balance ratio.
Yes it will initially be a secured card but I will graduate to unsecure with higher limit. I didn't know you could pay as you go. If there's anything else I should know let me know. :happy0180:
