THE FIRST CREDIT CARD I GOT WAS FROM THE WOMEN'S EXPRESS STORE ABOUT A YEAR AN A HALF AGO. IT WAS A CREDIT LIMIT OF $150. AFTER I PAID ON IT FAITHFULLY FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS, I STARTED GETTING CREDIT CARDS OFFERS IN THE MAIL. I FOUND SOME GOOD ONES WITH A FIXED RATE AND I WAS APPROVED FOR ONE OF THEM WITH A $1000 CREDIT LIMIT. I PAID THEM OFF, BUT LEFT THEM OPEN WITH A $0 BALANCE. THAT'S THE BEST WAY TO RAISE YOUR CREDIT SCORE. SO NOW I GET AT LEAST 2 CREDIT CARD OFFERS A DAY AND HAVE A CREDIT CARD WITH A BALANCE WITH $3000 NOW. (DON'T WORRY, I CAN PAY FOR THAT) :-) BUT JUST MAKE SURE YOU CAN PAY FOR THE BALANCE CUZ YOU DON'T WANT TO GET YOURSELF IN CREDIT CARD DEBT. SO START OFF WITH A SMALL RETAIL STORE, THEN EVENTUALLY YOU'LL MOVE INTO BIGGER CREDIT CARD COMPANIES. GOOD LUCK!\n\nPS. SO WITHIN A YEAR AN A HALF, I WENT FROM HAVING NO CREDIT TO VERY HIGH CREDIT SCORE. JUST LEAVE CREDIT CARDS OPEN WITH A ZERO BALANCE. THAT SHOWS THE CREDITORS THAT YOU HAVE THE CASH TO BUY THINGS WITH, INSTEAD OF USING YOUR CREDIT CARD. I KNOW A LOT MORE TOO BECAUSE I WORK AT A MORTGAGE COMPANY. EMAIL ME IF YOU HAVE ANYMORE QUESTIONS!

get a job,  a bank acct  and then they will let you have one.   (why would you get a credit card without a job?)

Using your credit card, go to a bank or credit union and make a cash transaction. They will give you the cash you need and have it charged to your credit card. \n\nSome stores will do that as well, but you have to have a check cashing card with the store and an established good reputation with them. \n\nAlso, most stores allow you to charge $20 or so more than what you are charging on your card. Ask the cashier how much you can get beyond the items you are charging. This is particularly helpful if you do not need a lot of cash but just a few dollars to carry you over.\n\nGood luck!!

You can start by getting a free credit report by going to AnnualCreditReport.com, the government's response to credit and identity theft. It will direct you to chose one of the three major reporting agencies to get your current report. You will have to pay for your credit score, however.\n\nTo find a credit card that might issue you at least a minimum limit card of say $500, try ConsumerCredit.com, a website of American Consumer Credit Counseling, which offers free services. It is a clearing house for consumer complaints and rates credit cards, and might work with you to get one.\n\nOtherwise, you'll just have to fill out credit issuers' applications and wait to see if they approve you, one by one.

go to www.hsbc.com they process online applications for credit cards. But you must have a stable job/income in order to qualify.

hold a job. \ndon't get into any debt.\nmake good grades.\nif you live in an apt, pay your rent and bills on time.\n\n**WARNING**\nA CREDIT CARD IS VERY DANGEROUS. IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE SELF DISCIPLINE OR INCOME TO PAY THE FULL BILL EVERY MONTH, DON'T EVEN CONSIDER ONE. \n*****\n\nif you do get a credit card, call them and lower the credit limit to something small like $100 or $50.\n\nif you get into the bad habit of credit card use, you'll end up with worse credit than if you never had one.

This is the easiest way. Find someone that has good credit and have them put your name on their credit card. They don't have to give you a credit card so it is no risk to them. After a few months you will show credit history. Then go and get a credit card in your name that has a limit of 5K.

try getting a secured credit card

Having anything in your name will help.  Cell phone, car payment, car gas card, but if you really want to build credit you need to get a credit card.  Go to your bank and ask about a "student visa" card.  Those usualy only have a $500 limit, so you can't really get into to much trouble with it.  And then just put like $50 a month on it and always pay it off.  That is how I started, and I have great credit!

Another avenue here is to get a secured credit card, you find a bank or institution, you put whatever you can afford in a savings account (say $250.00) the bank gives you a credit card using your own money. After about 6 months if you keep up your payments they give you your money back and give you an unsecured a credit card. In time with the other great ideas here you will have credit.

Try first permier bank. They offer credit cards to every one. High APR though. However you can also take a secure credit card i.e. you deposit 2000$ in the bank and they give u 2000$ credit limit. Ones u have this for a few months then you will get a good credit and you can get other cards.

you need to apply for a major credit card-like discover, visa, mc. These are fairly easy to get if you are in school or planning on it. i think discover has a student card. You pretty much need a major card to get other types of credit started, like store cards etc.be careful how you use your credit!

Stores like Sears or Best Buy offer store credit cards with much less strict credit requirements.  You might try getting a Sear charge card and making a few purchases to establish a credit history.

You can get a loan from your credit card. Ask for a cash advance. However, use it only for an emergency because it charges very high rates.
