(inspired by Mizlurksalot) What was your first credit card?

[Kitty 34]

My first CC was a card from JC Penney.

DH's was a VISA

We have several more now.

Mine was a Visa (actually I was a joint signer on my dad's credit card). I had strict rules about how much I could charge of course, but it really helped teach me about maintaining good credit and responsibility. I never had to worry about what the credit card company would do to me if I messed up, I KNEW my dad would flip out, LOL! It also helped build my credit, which has been invaluable as I have started out on my own.

Wow ! I don't think I've ever actually "inspired" something before

I believe my first card was Sears.

 

[Amberle3]

Mastercard. It had a whopping $200 limit on it!

ATT Universal Card. Combo Visa and calling card. Don't have it any more as I am looking for rebate cards.

I had a Student Visa card with a really bad APR and a high annual fee.

My first CC was Sears - which was also where my first full time job was (at headquarters).

Mine was a Zales card. I opened the account when I was 16 or 17. It was a student account to get my class ring. I paid it off and held a job and the next thing I got was a brand new car with no co-signer. Being responsible had paid off for me.

DH was also real responsible. We bought our first house when I was 19 and he was 23.

Master Card with a $500.00 limit that over the years built up to a limit way over what I wanted it to be. I no longer have that account. Next card was probably a JC Penney card which i still have to this day.

 

[mommytotwo]

VISA from Capital One.

 

[siouxsieQ]

JC Penney

 

[Cindy B]

Citibank Mastercard.


I worked at the merchant credit card department in a bank. THat was a bad place to work at 18 years old!

 

[goin2disneyagain]

Mine was a Mastercard. My dad worked for the bank and my senior year in high school decided that I should have a credit card so I got one. I no longer have that particular card because all my current credit cards offer me rewards for my purchases and that bank didn't so I closed out the account a couple of years ago.
