Since every card company checks your credit you will possibly get turned down for a regular card. Your best bet would be to go to a bank such as US Bank, Bank of American, etc... Any financial institution that does credit cards and ask about their secured credit cards. The one at US Bank is a minimum of 300.00 dollars to start but that is also your credit limit. After about a year or so with good payments many companies will change it to a regular card and refund your money. Everyone is correct so far about the secured credit card.

First of all Japanese people don’t even need cards to pay for things, they use their mobile phones to buy all kinds of things Second, why are the young Chinese people who DON’T save described as finance-savvy? Surely it’s the people who SAVE that are the finance-savvy ones. This is a funny article.

Card charge merchants 1.5 - 3.5 on everything you buy with them. This raised the prices for everything. In Argentina, we been told charge merchants up to 8%. We only use cash when traveling. And the moment you rely on them when traveling you are screwed. My new bank via failure Chase, will only let me have 300 pesos a day, $80 US and they said they don't know why. Well I have been in the CC business an they are just to lazy to really look. So save small merchants in the US and abroad and quit using those cards.

They have a bad rep (often for good reason, in that the companies really do want you to go into debt), but they're a tool like any other. You just have to use them smartly and not get caught up in charging way beyond your means to pay them off. (Or do so knowing what you're getting yourself into...) Hal - I'm curious, how do you book flights? Can you do that with debit now? I got my first credit card when I started college, specifically to be able to book flights home. Didn't use it for anything else for a long time. (I was scared of it. But now I love. Love love.) I won’t lie, I heart my credit card.
