Huntington National Bank does not publish formal application restriction rules comparable to Chase 5/24 or Amex once-per-lifetime policies, and no such documented rules exist for the Huntington® Secured Credit Card. The card carries no welcome bonus and is designed for credit building, so no minimum spend interval or bonus eligibility window applies. The card has a built-in upgrade path — after seven months of responsible use, the account is periodically reviewed for automatic upgrade to the Huntington Cashback Credit Card with full deposit return.
