How do I increase my limit on my secured credit card
If you have a secured credit limit, you can typically raise your credit limit by paying more towards your security deposit. The best option for increasing your credit limit on a secured credit card is to call the card’s customer service number to find out the exact steps to take—each issuer is different.
How much money can you put on a secured credit card
Most secured cards require a deposit of at least $200 or $300, although at least one card has an option for a lower deposit. Every secured card allows you to deposit more than the minimum, but most set a maximum deposit amount. Your deposit is usually equal to your credit limit.

Will having 2 secured credit cards help more
Having more cards can increase your total available limit, reducing your balance-to-limit ratio, which can positively affect credit scores. However, keeping low balances on just a few credit cards can result in very good credit scores. You can have as good a credit score with two cards as you can with five or 10.

How fast do Secured cards build credit
Typically, you will want to wait at least six months between credit card applications so your chances of being approved for the credit card are significantly higher. Six months also happens to be the average length of time it may take for a secured card to begin to improve your credit.
