practically begged me to open a new credit card with them that I was pre-approved for, has a $10,000 limit, 0% interest for the first month, and less than 7%
APR after that. I wanted to be like "Hello sir, I am 19 years old and DID YOU HAPPEN TO HEAR ABOUT THE STATE OF THE ECONOMY?"
But I was like "okay." |

My 17 year old got a credit card pre-approval thing in the mail from Washington Mutual. No wonder they needed to be bought out. She makes $100/wk.
 We
shredded it.

Capital One gave me a credit card and I put on my form that I didn't have any income.

about who they hand credit cards out to? I've had accounts with Chase since I was 16 though and I've had a couple of credit cards with them that
I've been 100% responsible with. I always pay in full and on time, so I think they just love me. My annual income is oh... about $5,000. And I'm
in school full-time which has me dramatically in debt as well. So they just gave me a credit card where I can charge two years of my salary to it not
accounting for student loans I'm going to have to start paying back next year!
