What was your limit for your first cc?

[dullard]

Applied for two just out of highschool. Got two credit cards - each with $1000 limits. Of course my limits now are far, far above that.

 

[AccruedExpenditure]

200 dollars, capital one, when i turned 18 in high school.

up to 10,000 now. w00t.

 

[halik]

2K citicard platinum,
now about 4500 on the citi and 5G on amex blue

 

[DougK62]

500

 

[Ranger X]

Student Card with a $500 limit.

 

[Anubis]

45K

 

[FuZoR]

citi card with $800 (after HS Age: 18)... almost 2 years since i had it and its now at $5100

 

[Dulanic]

Cap 1 $300... 5+ years later and it's STILL $300, they refuse to raise it, it's ok tho I never use it ever, it has like a 23% APR. I have Amex Blue and Chase Perfectcard that I use instead for rewards and have much better APR. Only reason my cap 1 is still open is it's my oldest account and has a flawless record, so it helps out my credit score.

 

[eplebnista]

$1000

 

[Evadman]

7k IIRC. I waited till I was older, and got one from where I worked, so i cheated.

 

[treemonkey]

$62k

 

[OS]

when i first went to college, my parents cosigned me a platinum CC which had a 10K initial limit.

 

[GhettoFob]

I think it was $1000 at 18

 

[jpeyton]

Got my first one 5 months back, started at $500, doubled after 4 months to $1000.

Now I just have to convince them to increase it to $5k in a few months. I like to buy and sell in large quantities.

$1000 for a student Visa when i was 18. 5 years later, i have a credit line of $20,600 over a few cards.

 

[imthebadguy]

[Heisenberg]

[tfinch2]

How did you people get a credit card with no cosigner and no credit history?

student cards dont require such things, if you are really hard up you can get a secured card to build some credit history and then switch over to an unsecured card at the earliest possible time.
