    I would try and go to Sears if you are a guy or Victoria Secret if you are a girl and try and get a credit card there. They usually don't care if you don't have any previous credit. Or you can go with the prepaid credit card, but I hear that takes a really long time to build. It will not show up on your ssn, but that will hurt your chances on getting a card because it will show that you don't have any income coming in!

    you're hurting yourself in the long run getting paid under the table - You aren't getting credited with any earnings for social security benefits - With no w-2 income - you might not be able to get any credit-period - gasoline credit cards may be the easiest

    American Blue Express Credit Card: Apart from no annual fee feature of the American Blue Express it also gives cash returns on specific purchases. Users of the American Blue Express also enjoy protection against fraud for online credit card transactions. This card tries to right the various wrong notions about the American Express credit cards, one of which is that it is a credit card only for rich or those who have money to keep a credit card.

    Store credits are the easiest to get from what I hear, but I always stayed away from those.
