AIG has this program targeted at new immigrants in US, specially those who don't have any credit history. With a sign up fee of 440$, it's supposed to help us to get unsecured credit card, mortgage, car insurance (at decent price), etc. Is this program worth it? How much of a credit history building process (how many months) can I gain by starting US life with an unsecured card instead of prepaid cards?

I'm having trouble deciding whether to opt for this program. What, What are the alternatives? Can I "build credit history" through other means?

Also, how much of a credit history (e.g. in terms of months) would I gain by starting US life with an unsecured card instead of prepaid cards?
