A Credit Card for Students

Options
Ok, I want a credit card which I can use on any sites on the enter Visa or Mastercard. But any I apply to won't give me onw because I don't have a credit rating.

Anyone suggestions?

  • A parent could get one for themselves with a second card for you.
    They could ask for the card to have a credit limit which suited them.
    They need never use their card.
    To all intents and purposes it would be your card.
    This works because your parents know and trust you.

    Is there a credit card with a lower limit for students?
  • My Barclays Young Person Account has just been upgraded to a Student Additions Account. I had the option of having a Student Barclaycard, which arrived on Thursday. It is a Visa credit card with an opening credit limit of £450 and APR of 17.9%.
