-
I have never had one.
-
I was 15 when my parents put me on theirs. I got my own at 18.
-
17 or 18, I applied right before I went to college.
-
Gah, I got it in college, but it was a local bank that I don't use any longer.
The one I have currently I have had for 15 years.
-
17, when I left for college. With a bank that has long cease to exist haha
-
26. I waited until I got a full time job. Right after graduate school and getting a job, I got one as I changed banks.
-
I was 16--but my parents got it for me bc I was spending a year abroad on exchange and they wanted me to be covered in case of emergency. It turned out there were lots of 'emergencies' just not quite the same kind my parents had worried about
For those of you without a card, how do you do things like rent cars or buy plane tickets?
-
Almost 26, still don't have one
-
16, but my mom was the co-signer. I got my own credit card a year later.
-
18 when I first started college. I think it was a Capital One cc and I had a $300 limit. Haha
-
21.. when I graduated college. Until then I had my parents credit card and my own debit card.
-
18, I got one as soon as I could. Unless you count the one my parents gave me when I was 16, even though I didn't pay for it.
-
When I turned 18.
-
I was 18. It was required to get my apartment.
-
18. I was a senior in high school. My dad was major pro getting a credit card but also major pro paying it off every month. So I had the fear of god instilled early about holding a balance. I'm glad he basically forced me to get one since I've never had a problem with lack of credit history.
-
My parents got a joint one with me when I was 16 and going to Europe. Then when I got home they used it as their own and paid it off every month to build up my credit. My first solo one I got at 18.
-
I think I was 18, it was my freshman year of college anyway.
-
18 on my college campus. I was really good with it until I graduated!
