First Credit Card and Credit Health
« on: April 18, 2021, 07:41:36 PM »
Forgive me if this has been asked before.

I'm new to the credit card and points world, and having never had a credit card before don't have any credit history.

1. What is the bets way to build up credit?
2. Are there any credit cards for which I will get approved with a credit score of 650?

First of all you should be able to get a secured credit card like opensky (https://www.openskycc.com/), they approved me and other people I know for our first credit card.
Second of all and what's probably a better & more effective option is to be added as an authorized user of a current cardholder.
Good luck.
