I've been thinking about maybe using the Amazon Prime Rewards card or an American Express but not sure. Which would you folks recommend and why?

Also is there ever a point when paying off just the minimum is ok?

Go on nerd wallet and look up cards that are easy to apply to first and check those out and don’t forget to check the APR.


Or you can get yourself a secure credit card first and then use a real credit card after

I also wanna ask, when is it okay to only pay the minimum on a credit card if ever?

I’ve liked Apple Card far more than I thought I would.

I like being able to pay charges the same day and get Apple Cash quickly.
Might have to look into that, damn same day. That's dope :ehh:

I was told it's not smart to do that, especially when starting because you have to pay them off.

I also have no credit so I wouldn't be approved for many of them out there anyway I found out :mjcry:

It’s not smart to that if you are a slave to credit cards.


I have three credit cards right now with 92% available credit.

Hell no

You want to apply for a credit card and you don't know what an APR is? OP do some research on credit and credit building then come back
Nah I ended up doing the research and found out that’s the annual rate you have to pay for the card.
