Hi Sarah,
I take it you don't have any pre-established credit? If it's your first time getting a credit card, chances are the company wants you to transfer funds so that if you don't pay your bill, they already have the payment there. Once you establish credit, you should be able to get that money back. If you have good credit, companys will send you out cards in the mail and you just register the card without transfering funds. You will be denied credit cards if it's your first time because you don't have any credit history. What you're talking about is the fastest way to establish credit by actually getting a card, but having to transfer funds to them to hold on to as a "back up" or a "just in case" fund incase you screw up!
Good luck!
