Have you gotten approved for any credit cards yet? - Page 3

So, which cards do you guys recommend for me? I don't have a job and before I would get paid in cash therefore, no credit whatsoever. I am going to receive some $ from financial aid and want to get a credit card only to build my credit. Ive been with Bank of American for about 4 years now, not sure if I should go with a secured card or a Capital One card, I want to build my credit ASAP since I graduate in June and plan to buy a new car by the end of this year.

I had a have a credit card since 07 when I first opened my checkings account. I guess I made good money and they offered and I said sure.

I have been with Capital One for a couple of years now and the best they could do for me is apply me for some limited credit card and I got declined within a week, meh...

I told them I wanted a Student card, or Limited card, or Beginner called, whatever they called it...but nothing...

Where do i get these secured credit cards from? Is there like somewhere that gives you guaranteed?

Bank of America offers a secured credit card with a deposit of, at least, $300.00. After a year, if you maintain good credit, they will reimburse you your $300.00 and let you request a credit line increase. Walk into a branch and talk to one of their representatives.

What about student cards from bank of America?

Capital one for newcomers. I just going to keep suggesting because you don't need it secured

It's better if you don't max out your credit card limit. Try spending no more than 25% (guesstimate since I don't remember the exact percentage) of your credit limit each month and pay it in full to avoid high interest rate. It shows that you are a responsible spender and can handle higher credit limit.

I was originally going to apply for the Capital One for Newcomers card but after chatting with a rep he recommended the Journey Student Rewards Credit Card. Got an e-mail on Friday saying I was approved and the card is on it's way which I'm thrilled because I thought I was gonna get denied since my social is recently new which means no credit history.

So if your a student or soon to be student, I'd recommend it. I also remember someone on here recommended it as well.
