in Credit cards
Hi all I'm wondering, what card should I apply for, for my first card? I'm 20 year old so have little credit and I'm more than likely not going to get a 0% card, so would like an idea of what I could apply for please

A high APR card like vanquis might be the best bet although if you have some credit history you could try for a "normal" cc0

have you asked your bank? that's normally a good start but if they say you aren't eligible just yet then a sub-prime card like Aqua, Vanquis, Capital One or Barclaycard Initial.
