Re: credit score?

For someone with no credit history it takes 6 months to establish a credit score in most cases 

Before you app think...
Have you done your research of the CC?
Does it fit your spending?
Do you have a plan for the bonus w/o going into debt?
Can you afford the AF?
Do you know the cards benefits? Is it worth the HP?

2-3 TL's is a great start to build a good credit profile and scores

Re: credit score?

Forgot to add here's a secured card that doesn't require a HP if approved thus not hurting scores while building.

The only scoring ding would be when it reports to CR's but in your case would not hurt as you have no scores yet 

The only down side to this card is that it does not graduate but again its a great building tool with great rates Smiley Wink
