  • Answer:

    You don't NEED a credit card, you WANT a credit card.......... and usually in most countries you need to be at least 18yrs old and working to get one. Try to get a job first, and rather than a credit card you'd be FAR better off trying to get a bank account with an overlimit / overdraft facility (let's you spend more than you've got in your account without getting hit with charges for going overdrawn) + offers a VISA Debit Card, as you don't get hit with extortionate interest rates paying it back like you do with a Credit card.

You can't get a credit card if you don't have a job or an income, but you can buy a pre-paid credit card, or open a bank account and use a debit card. They work just as good as a credit card.

you can get a checking account with a debit card and have it automatically deducted from your account. DON'T GET A CREDIT CARD. YOU WILL BE SORRY.

Yeah just like everyone else said you can get a debit/credit card from your bank. I believe you have to be 18 in order to get a credit card and you need to have an income.

The one who knows

Since you are 17, a bank will not open a credit card or checking account with a debit card individually. You will need to have an adult, who is 18 sign with you. If you were to abuse the card/account and ended up owing the bank money, the bank could not pursue you for debt repayment because you would be considered a minor.

Don't get a credit card. You are 17 years old. Don't make the same mistake most 17 years olds make. If it's not a car or a home....never purchase something if you don't have the money right then. Open a checking account. They will give you a debt card.
