Credit Cards for Limited / No Credit

A "limited credit" rating indicates that you have had very little credit in your name and lack the established credit history required for approval by many credit card issuers. Similarly, a credit rating of "no credit" indicates that you have never had a credit card or loan reported on your credit history, thus limiting your options for obtaining your first credit card. See below for today's top credit card and prepaid credit card offers available to those with limited/no credit, along with links to each card's secure online application.
