Catalog Credit Cards
They might be a good deal if you can take advantage of a catalog's or a store's special offers to their credit card holders. Their rates are not as low as most regular (good credit) credit card rates, so try to pay off your balance always in full or keep only a low balance on them if your goal is to build/rebuild yor credit. Get these cards only from providers you are interested in buying goods from and/or if you need to (re)establish your credit*. Again, if you pay your dues on time and leave just enough balance to show up on your credit report (let's say $100) then catalog cards can help to improve your credit rating over time.
*If your primary goal is to rebuild your credit, then try to choose from credit cards that report to at least one credit bureau.
