akkid:
my parents don't wnat me to fall into the trap of buying stuff off a credit card, but not being able to pay it off.
Sorry to stick my nose in here... but something doesn't seem right.
You do know you have to be 18 to be on this site, right? Seems that you've been here over a year (first post) so you have to be at least 19... and your parents have a say in whether you have a credit card or not?? At 19?!
Wow. Ok. Let's assume that's the truth. Now, you're at least 19. Do you have a job? You can buy VISA Gift cards and use them like disposable CCs. One and done.
On the other hand -- Unless this is all a bunch of 'horse-feathers' and you're actually under 18, which means you have to be banned.
