Looking to get my first credit card (recently 18) so I can build my credit score. I’m looking to use it for small purchases (fuel and gym membership primarily, not over £100/month) I work part time and earn a decent amount for my age but none of the credit card companies that I’ve heard of that do starter cards (capital one, aqua etc) are accepting me. Big banks (Lloyds, Barclays, Santander etc) aren’t either. Obviously I won’t have a credit history and I’m not earning £30k a year as a secondary school student, so how do people get first credit cards when these companies don’t seem to understand the financial situation of ‘first time credit applicants’ is? Are there any that worked for you or people you know? Thanks for your advice!
