Since we most of us are going to get our SSNs soon, I think it's good to know what are some good ways to build credit. One of the best ways to build credit is with credit cards, can anyone recommend some good credit card companies to build my credit?

I'm thinking of getting 2-3 cards so I can build my credit fast to buy a good car and a condo down the road, but to get a good price on those I need to have a good credit history. I was reading online that utility bills and rent don't really improve your credit score nearly as fast as a credit card. Anyone know a few?

The best credit card is the credit card you can get with no credit history. That would be a secured credit card for now.

Actually you'll have a very good chance of getting approved with Discover with some credit history. If anyones looking to get one..PM me with ur e-mail..I'll hit you up with a referral link. Maybe it'll increase ur chances slightly. Instant cash back for both of us if you're approved.
