How old do you need to own a credit card?

Question

im 15 could i own one

Answer 1

Actually people don't "own" credit cards.  In most cases the credit card owns the person..  Unless you have a steady job, you don't need a credit card.

Answer 2

You don't even need to be human to own a credit card. Many people have credit cards in their dogs' names, in the names of their farm animals, and so on.

The credit card companies can give you a student credit card. They are real popular.

I would just apply and make the year of your birth look like you are older, like 18. So many people do that. By all means, do be responsible once you get it. Credit is a bad thing if not used properly. Make sure you have a way to pay the bill.

Answer 3

Do not get one

Answer 4

I'm 16 and I just use a debit card so I don't have to worry about getting into debt and monitoring  my FICO score with a credit card Just go to a bank with your mom or dad and open a checking account

Answer 5

if you get one through your parents yes..but then thatll make you kinda spoiled...

if your parents dont want to give you a credit card because you are too young...you have to wait until you are 18 to legally sign up for one....
