2 august is not so far so wait for some time and then apply for a credit card. if you want to build credit then apply for a prepaid credit ard. The rejection is non existent in case of prepaid credit cards, there are no credit checks, no employment verification, and approval is guaranteed.

With a bit of dilligent shopping and comparision of various prepaid credit card offers, it is not difficult to find a prepaid card with no annual fees, no late payment fees, no repayments, and no penalties whatsoever. So, the ownership costs of a prepaid card can be negligible.

With prepaid cards it is very easy to promote financial discipline. Since you can only spend what you have, there is no overspending, and hence no debts.

Some prepaid cards do report their use to major credit bureaus and hence are a good instrument to rebuild credit history. Apply online at: http://www.credit-card-gallery.com/PrePaid_Card.html

Have you applied for college yet? You will be swamped with offers if/when you do. Choose one and only one card. In some ways debit cards are safer than credit; you can only spend as much as you have. I own my house and have a credit score of 790, but no credit card. Having to shell out money next month for something stupid you bought last week is hard.

When you turn 18 open a checking account at your local bank then hen you build up your balance a bit say $100.00 apply for a debit card. If you can use it responsibly for 6 months( with out getting over drafts) then you know you are ready to apply for an actual credit card. You might even be able to get a better rate. It can take a long time to build up good credit but it takes only a few bad decisions to tear it down.

To apply for a credit card, you will need to wait until you are 18. Banks wont allow you to apply until this age for legal reasons.

Credit cards are great to help you with cashflow if used properly. Just be sensible and make sure you read the terms and conditions on interest and fees. Shop around for a good interest rate too as it's a compeptitve market out there :)

Good luck with it.

If you want a credit card, just apply for one!

But don't come back to this forum, like many do complaining how much they're in debt!

Be careful

You can wait until 8/2/07 and apply for a card. You need to use the card responsibly. You can trash your credit in one month, but it will take 10 years to fix!
