How do you apply and qualify to have your own credit card?

I heard something like you need good credit? What exactly is good credit?


As well, do you need to be a specific age to apply for one? And what about high school; do you need to finish high school before you can apply for any type of credit card OR need to be in college or university?


And finally, are there more than one type of credit card that you can apply for, and if so, which would be the quickest and easiest to sign up for?





Thanks in advance|||You need to be at least 18 to apply for credit.


If you are under 21, you need to prove income or have a cosigner





There are no quick and easy credit cards to get unless you get a secured one.|||http://freecreditcardmatch.info/ has a small form that will find the right credit card for you, even if you have terrible credit.
