How to apply for a credit card in 7 easy steps.

1) Apply for a visa credit card by assembling a list of banks from whom you will request application forms. Sometimes it’s easier to get credit cards in the state you live in; the very large national banks are generally aggressive in seeking new accounts. Don't overlook savings and loan companies as well as credit unions in which you qualify for membership.

 2) Apply for a student credit card by requesting a application form for Visa and MasterCard accounts, either by telephone or in writing. Be certain to request information pertaining to finance charges and fees, because these are points often not included in the application. You will need this information to evaluate the institution’s credit card policies.

3) Obtain your credit report from the credit bureaus used by the credit card issuer to whom you are applying.

If your credit report lacks any details of your positive credit history, try to persuade the creditors to report that information to the credit bureau. The credit bureau can charge a fee for entering these reports, but it may be worth the expense if it allows you to improve your position in the credit world.

4) Apply for a secured credit card if negative marks remain that can't be removed. If you have gone through the credit repair procedures several times and negative marks such as bankruptcy, judgments, and delinquent payments remain, and you do not presently have any major credit cards, then apply for a credit card that is secured. Responsible use of a secured card will contribute to the building of a positive credit history.

Meanwhile you can be repairing the dings in your credit rating, which then qualifies you for unsecured credit. You may discover, however, that not all credit bureaus have negative reports on you.

If you find a credit bureau that does not, apply for credit with an institution that uses this credit bureau and not with the ones with negative histories on you. Most of the large credit card issuers subscribe to the major credit reporting agencies, but you may be able to find a smaller institution that subscribes to the credit bureau you want.

5) Apply for a credit card with no credit history if your income is less than $1,000 a month. If your total income from all sources is less than $1,000 a month, it may be difficult for you to get an unsecured credit card unless you score very high on all the other credit criteria and show that you can pay your debts from adequate assets.

However, to obtain even secured credit cards, you will generally need to show some income. The income does not need to be from a job. Pension or other retirement benefits, income from investments, or alimony may be sufficient.

If you want to enter the credit world on your terms, work at building your income. If you have no income, it is sometimes possible to get a credit card by obtaining a co-signer, someone who has good credit and agrees to assume responsibility for your debts.

6) Before you apply for a chase credit card get the number of inquiries on your credit report down to three or four in the past six months. If you have a number of active inquiries that is, inquiries that have been added to your report within the last six months either wait until they automatically come off your report or attempt to remove yourself.

7) Apply for a credit card from retailers in your area. Department store cards, gas company cards and other retail credit cards are usually fairly easy to obtain. Check to see whether your payments are reported to a credit bureau.

Sometimes they are not, but if so, then using this card and repaying on time will boost your credit record. Even if the payments on these accounts are not reported to a credit bureau, many applications for credit ask about your other credit card accounts.

A good payment record on these more easily obtained accounts can give you some recommendations on which to build more credit. Often, having a secured Visa or MasterCard is sufficient to get credit from these other companies.

They don't have elaborate credit-checking systems, so they will follow the lead of larger institutions that have already approved you.

Now that you know what type of credit card you want, it is time to apply for a credit card and manage your credit.

A credit card is a responsibility, not a right. Understanding why you want a credit card, knowing how the credit card process works and picking a credit card that works best for you will help you avoid debt management pitfalls.

Use your credit card to extend your buying power while keeping in mind that a credit card is not free money. To maintain a good credit rating, you will need to pay your credit card statements in a timely manner, according to your agreed upon terms of use. Be responsible with your credit and enjoy the benefits credit card possession can bring.

Applying for credit with negative marks on your report invites refusal. Do everything possible to remove the negative marks before you submit your application for credit. Using credit cards wisely can help you increase your credit rating.

The amount of credit you can qualify for when you apply for a credit card is usually directly dependent on the amount of your income.
