Don't use credit cards - you'll be sorry.

Many banks offer secured credit cards which are extremely easy to get approved for.  The difference between these cards and "real" credit cards is that you need to put up collateral (a small sum, usually a minimum of 200 dollars) so that if you default the bank doesn't lose out.  Your credit limit will be equal to the amount you put down (in a savings account, in the bank) and this deposit is returned to you when you cancel your card.  It's all rather easy.\n\nMost of these banks still report your credit transactions as "real" credit card transactions, so you can build credit.\n\nCheck out these options: http://www.bankrate.com/brm/rate/cc_ratehome.asp?web=brm&state=US&prodtype=cc&R1=1&card_type=Secured&card_class=All&max_recs=50

Fico is not the only thing Amex considers when looking at an application. Do you have any lates, collections, Public records, bankruptcy? With no previous history with Amex the lowest I have seen thus far for approval was 640 with a 3 yr old charge off no other derogatories.  If you have already established a positive payment history with Amex like have the green or gold charge cards, it is possible to get "more desired" cards like Blue, Clear, etc. with a lessor Fico. Just so you know, Amex pulls Trans Union and Equifax. If you are between 640 & 700 with no negs in the last couple years you may have a chance at their Delta, Hilton, or Starwood as the underwriting for these are more relaxed. Then one can always call and convert to a card of their choice. Good Luck! I Love AMEX! They treat their customers very well.

If you are looking for a credit card with low fees  might i suggest that if you have a bank account that maybe you should try there first if that doesn't work i would  think Capital one has a decent card but they do have a membership fee  i think \nBest of luck on your search

I got one from Orchard Bank. I think they'll give one to anybody.  My credit limit is only  $300.\n\nBut do you really need a credit card?  Why don't you just work towards paying off the debt you have?

Orchard Bank Mastercard (issued by HSBC Bank) - probably the most reputable issuer among the lot. Plus now, you can even get 2% cash rebates with Orchard Bank Mastercards.\n\nTribute Mastercard\nImagine Mastercard\nTotal Visa\nFirst Premier Bank (both secured and unsecured cards)\nRewards 660 Visa\nContinental Finance

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.

Yes, you can by  asking the credit bureau, the best thing is \napply for a credit card if they approved you it means you do have a good credit and if not it means you have a bad credit.

get a job, then try and get a store credit card - like from target or walmart.  if you purchase stuff on that and then pay it off on time, you'll establish good credit.  but be careful about just applying for tons of regular credit cards.  each time you apply, if you get rejected, it can damage your rating

When my score was around 525, last year at Christmas I got approved for a Target credit card, but other than that, the only card I know that is legitimate for bad credit is the Orchard Mastercard (the one you see advertised on Yahoo). Good luck!

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.

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!

First apply for a credit card at the same bank where you have your checking/saving accounts. They will most probably issue it if you have income, even though credit line will be low and probably there will be an annual fee (best chances in credit unions). Use the card wisely, do not go over 30% of your credit limit, pay your bills on time. Alternatively, get a department store account (like Macy's), do not overcharge it, pay bills on time. Within a year, pre-approved credit card offers will start coming. Respond to 1 or 2 of them and see what happens. If your application is rejected, wait some more, then apply again. Do NOT franticaly apply for many cards, because it will send your score downhill. Once you get a card from a pre-approved offer, use it wisely the same way. If you do so, your credit score will climb over 700 in 1-2 years.\nBest of luck building your credit!\n\nPS - all this assuming that you are a legal immigrant with an SSN.
