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?

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.

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.
