How can I get my first credit card if I have no credit history?
- You might want to check your credit report at annualcreditreport.com to make sure there are no discrepancies. Once you have done that, the best way to go about doing it would be to go to the bank that has the most presence on your campus most colleges sign exclusive contracts with banks. so there are probably only 1 or 2 banks on campus, open a small checking account with them if you have not already done so will be usefull and then tell THEM you want a credit card. Very few banks issue their own credit cards, but the bank will apply to their partner eg. MBNA on your behalf. Then make sure you follow up with the bank / credit card company in a week or two. just to see if they need anything else. If you really have NO CREDIT FILE, the credit card company will ask for a copy of your social security card and driver's license. Banks give credit cards to students like AOL used to give free hours. It is very unlikely to not be able to get a card. Hope this helps
- If you cannot get a Student Card, you obviously have gotten on the wrong junk mail list. That, or you have no pulse. ; -
- Most big banks and credit card companies offer special cards for Students, for example this one from Citibank hhonorscard.com / us / cards / cardserv / drivcoll / index. jsp
