DO NOT apply for credit cards online!!!

Those are mostly scams to get you private information and steal your identity!

Go into your local banks and department stores, gather the applications for MAJOR credit cards only (Visa, MasterCard–NOT department store credit cards!), and fill them out and send them all at once. There is help for you at:

Good luck!

I wouldn’t do it. If you never heard of this bank, don’t. Try your local bank and ask for advice.

I wouldnt do it.. Do not trust in these sites.. Find a reputual bank and look into their interest rates and such. Please do not get caught up in the credit ******* cards… good luck and good crediting open a checking account and use a debt card, they r great! and you dont get bad credit…..

Do some research on the bank. Find out their fees ….etcetc..

If you sign up on a website and it says, “HTTPS://” then the website, the http “S” (the “s ” stands for Secure).

If there is no s on the http, then it is almost considered public info.

If it sounds too good to be true, it is.

Nothing is free…not even your question–it cost you 5 points.

I would not

Go to a local bank if your credit isn’t good enough for the majors.

Have it tied to a bank account. THis would be a “secured” card.
