I got one of those prepaid Visa Buxx when I was 16 yrs old, but I don't know if that really counts since its prepaid. As for a real credit card, I got one when I was 20 with a $9,000. I was really surprised to realize that I didn't go all wild with it.

I'm grateful that I didn't 'cause credit card debt can ruin lives.

I had my first credit account when I was already a full time employee with all the necessary supporting documents for credit card account eligibility. I have been maintaining only one account since then. This is my way to avoid unnecessary spendings using my card.

I was 18 when I received my first credit card. I was a full time student with a full time job. It was a local department store card with a $300 limit.

I was 18 when I got my first card. I was very responsible with it and I still am almost 8 years later.

I got my first one when I was 19. I didn't use it much but it was just nice to know that I had it if I needed it for anything

I was thirteen when I got my first credit card but the limit was $10,000 so my mom made me get rid of it.
