    Do you mean some special card?
    Even many UK students struggle to get a CC.
    The best is to ask the bank first that you have a current account with.
    Next step is to try one of Bad-credit Credit Cards

    Why do you need it in the first place? The interest rate is likely to be very high. For cashback you can try Aqua Rewards from the above 'bad-credit' cards.

    If you are no a UK citizen or have been a resident here for a minimum of 3 years I would suggest nearly no chance of a mainstream lender touching you.
    You might be able to get a secured card - google for these.
