How old are you? In College? More info would be nice for me at least.
I got my first credit card through my dad. He was a USAA member and they had a College Start credit card. I was building credit when I was 18. If you can do something similar, I would suggest that.

You can establish credit without having to get a credit card.

Thanks Dave.
To the OP: it doesn't matter what card you get, just that you get one.

Pretty much this, at least starting out.
Once you have established credit you'll have a better range of options.

Not true, not every credit card reports to all three major credit bureaus.

chase freedom, if you can't get approved for that then try discover more
both are pretty decent no-annual fee cashback cards

I just got the Capital One Venture card. Double the miles and I love it.

Discover Card offers a credit card that is pretty good for students. No annual fee, 1% cash back on everything and 5% on special things through out the year. I think when I was in college they gave me a $2000 credit limit.

Use the search function. We have these damn threads once a week.
