you get a job, because you’ll need to demonstrate the ability to PAY for what you spend on it. You’ll also need to educate yourself on what a card is for, and how NOT to use it, like shopping online for any and everything. You may want to see someone in a bank who can actually guide you. It will open your eyes, and that way you won’t be going bankrupt by the time you’re 19. Why am I saying this? My niece did the same, and her parents got stuck trying to pay off her $8K debt, so she wouldn’t declare bankruptcy, just because she “had to have” those $200/pair of Juicy jeans, and those Coach bags that “everyone had”, and all those other “necessities”, NOT including food, and airfare back to her parents on those college breaks. Good luck, and hope you’re not a shopaholic, because that would be a total disaster in the making.
Before you apply for a credit card, make sure that you have an income. You can apply for credit cards online at
- try this one. I personally use their card. As I know it accepts everyone, even if a person has no credit. It is also very good to build credit rating for first time credit card users.
