Bad Credit and No Credit Credit Card Offers and Applications

If you have no credit history or even bad credit history but need a credit card, there are options for you. (If you are a student with no credit history, we recommend visiting our Student Credit Cards page.) You won't be able to get the best interest rates and reward programs at first, but the credit cards listed below, if used properly, will eventually help build up your credit rating so that after a year or two, you can apply for a better card.

If none of the cards below appeal to your interest, there are some other options for you — Secured Credit Cards.
