Answer 4

Normally at least 18 - this is because you need to be a legal adult in order to sign a credit contract.

Answer 5

It depends on where you live, and on the individual issuer's rules, but generally:

You can be listed as an "additional cardholder" from the age of 16 - meaning you would have a real credit card with your name on it, but the account is actually someone else's responsibility (ie. whoever let you have the card on their account).

You can apply to have your own (real) working credit card from the time you are an adult, which in Australia is 18. This includes Visa, Mastercard, Amex and Diners (however, keep in mind that minimum income requirements apply to all Amex & Diners cards).

You can also have a Visa Debit or Mastercard Debit card from the age of 14 (bank dependant - some will not allow it until you're 18). These can be used like normal credit cards, but instead of using a line of credit, they just use money already in your accounts (allowing you to make online purchases, phone purchases etc.).

Hope I've helped!
