Good starter credit card for an 18 year old?
I'm contemplating applying for a credit card in hopes of building my credit. Ideally I'd like something with a credit line of over $500. Interest isn't all that much a concern.
Thanks in advance for any recommendations.

go to the bank and get a prepaid credit card.. Bank of america has them. you deposit 500 of your own money then use it and pay it back like a normal credit card. then after a year or so it converts to a regular credit card and they send you a check with your original money back. It teaches you to handle the responsibility of a credit card but its a little easier on your credit if you screw up in the first year! they do report during the first year just like a credit card it will help built your credit.

The new rules require you have a cosigner until age 21. A small car loan is a better way to build credit.
