    Consider a debit card instead. They work perfectly well for online purchases.

    If you need to rent cars and hotels, most companies will work with a debit card although in some cases you may have to pay the total rental cost upfront ahead of the rental.

    Secured cards charge APRs and some charge fees as well. You will be taking on new debt before your case is closed - not a good idea, especially in a high-income, high-debt case like yours. See http://www.bankrate.com/brm/news/cc/19990823.asp for the ins and outs of secured credit cards.

    I doubt that a lender will approve a secured card for you while you are in an active Ch 7 case. After your case is closed is the time to get a secured credit card to help with credit rebuilding.
    I am not a lawyer and this is not legal advice nor a statement of the law - only a lawyer can provide those.
