I've had a store card now for 6 months(which I pay off in full) and am looking to apply for my first credit card.
I don't want to make too many applications though. I'm looking at Amazon Mastercard, Sainsburys, Halifax and Bank of Scotland. I need something with no minimum income as i'm currently on incapacity benefit.
If anyone can advise me in my situation the card most likely to accept me, i'd be grateful!
I've thought long and hard and this is a step I want to take, so no lectures please!

    Do you have a spouse/civil partner? If so, some cards (eg M&S) only ask for household income. You will, however, still have to declare your 'occupation'.
