Retail Cards

Retail cards are those you can apply for from a retail store or gas station, such as Sears, Nordstrom, Pier I Imports, Target, Texaco or Shell. As far as qualifying criteria goes, it's not nearly as stringent as major credit cards, and they seldom charge an annual fee.

Advantages:

  • Easy to qualify
  • Good stepping stone to building credit history Revolving credit--pay a little every month if you carry a balance
  • Low credit limits so you don't overspend
