Can a 17-year-old get a credit card?

Answer 1

At 17 you can have a credit card, although since they are still under 18 they are unable to legally hold the card on their own; they would need to be either cosigner or an authorized user on an adult's (i.e. 18 yrs or older) credit card.

Answer 2

To get a normal credit card which lets you go over if you spend more money, you have to be 16-18 depending which bank you get it with

Answer 3

Once 18 this person may apply for any credit card (at first few will accept) once this person sets a good credit line other companies will be eager to pre-approve this person.O

Answer 4

Not in most places. Minors, those below 18 in most states, 19 or 21 in others, are not legally allowed to contract. They may have a credit card with an adult co-signer.

Answer 5

They can get a debit card, it is tied to a checking account or savings account, but they cannot get a credit card until the age of 18.
