Tricia0430 asked:


I just turned 18 and I want to establish my credit. I already own a car so I don’t want to get an auto loan to start establishing it. I want to get a credit card with a low credit limit so I can start establishing it. Where are the easiest places to get credit cards?
My bank does not have credit cards. I also do not feel like changing banks because I have been with this one for 2 years.

    By far the easiest option for a person with little or no credit history is to get a credit card from your bank.

    If you have $500 in a savings account, convert it into a secured credit card. Make sure they belong to the credit bureau.

    Try establishing one with your bank. That will be the easiest.

    I would go for the bp visa. for the first 60 days you get 10% rebate on bp gas, 4 % on hotels and food, and 2% on other items. after 60 days it drops to 5,2,1%.. You then can get gas cards with the rebates( 25 dollars a shot). It’s nice to get the money back and they send me a $10 gas card in Dec just for being a member, not sure if they do that every year.
