    bad idea
    if you want to build your credit rating up, get a beginners CC, use it regularly and pay in full each month ....doesn't matter how awful the APR is as if you pay in full you won't pay any interest.

  • give Capital One a go - i was trying to do the same thig three years ago . CO gave me £200 credit limit - ideal to enable you to build up a history and after about 6 months they upped it to £800.
