why is any company gonna give you credit for free? They are money making organisations and you are the customer.

What you can do is take the interest free promos that a lot of cards give for a few months and keep swapping cards after this period (you gotta keep on top of it though). Unfortunatly most companies are getting wise and now offer 6 months interest free credit but NOT free money transfer which means you are paying them to take on your existing credit.

It can be done if you keep an eye on it but if you are that bothered about paying interest, then start a savings account and "pay off" an item before you purchace it

I would seriously recommend NOT getting a credit card, it's far too easy to fall into the trap and get in debt. I got my first credit card about five years back, after 4 years I was in £12000 debt with 4 different cards. I know I can mostly blame myself for this stupidity, but the banks made it all too easy to do it. Previous to the credit cards I also never had any debt or bad credit scoring, I was very sensible about money and always thought about purchases. Once I had those cards I started spending like it was going out of fashion. Now I'll be another or 5 years paying it off. And I've known a couple of people that have done the same thing, one friend has even had to declare themselves bankrupt. Use a debit card instead, that way you can't spend what you don't have.

You would be much better of with a bank account which offers interest free overdraft of £500 and upwards. Why pay up to 29% interest. Most shops accept debit cards and you can withdraw cash with the card for free. Credit cards charge you for this.

Go to your bank and get a credit card from them, I do at US Bank and you earn a money back on your purchases and they put it in your checking account.

Just go to a local college and you'll see booths selling credit cards.

Review the following items:

1. Annual fee?
2. Points/rewards offered?
3. APR %?

Basically you want $0 annual fee, points and rewards if possible, and the lowest APR % possible.

My HSBC Mastercard costs me nothing as long as I pay the balance off each month. I set it up to Direct Debit the full amount from my bank account automatically, means I never miss a payment. I don't get any cashback deals etc though.

Having a credit card, even if you don't use it, can help your credit record - because the bank's info will show that you've never missed a payment, and so are a responsible borrower. This is useful when you're looking for loans, mortgages etc.

It can take a lot of self control not to just think "ah, what the hell..." and start loading stuff on the card, though. Be honest with yourself about whether you can refrain from doing that.
