Many banks will issue credit cards to just about anyone if you are
willing to keep the full amount of your credit limit on deposit.

Because PC Persuit isn't a flat fee service.  The $35/month is for
unlimited off peak time.  You always have the option of using it
during peak hours, in which case you will be billed (approx) $10/hour.
