Well you have to be 18 to technically entering into a legally binding contract with a credit card company, but you can get your daughter one. It will just be under your name. She will just be an authorized user or whatnot.

Do you really think letting a 14 year old girl have a credit card is a good idea? A teenage girl a credit card?
I believe 18 is the limit, seeing that's the age you can work in most places. Working and credit cards fall hand in hand.
Go to the bank and see if you can work something out with them. Some sort of limit that comes out of your account. That way she doesn't decide to go crazy one day and max the thing out.
Personally, I think its just a nightmare waiting to happen. Wait until she is older, much older.

For your daughter to get one by herself, it depends on the legal age of the state you live in, for the company that issues can make her pay the bill. If they issue one to a 14 year old, and the state law says they are responsible at age 16, then she can charge all she wants, and never pay. If she lies about her age on the app, then it's dad and moms responsibility. If you are getting one for her, then it's your credit line and history that is on the line, not anyone Else's. Just give her an allowance. She's at the age to meet a greedy or devious boyfriend soon, and you might regret issuing her a credit card.

18. I think that you should just get her a bank card. Its better than a cedit card.

So, you want to spoil your daughter, and give yourself a migraine headache, is that it?
A person is old enough to have a credit card when he can reliably earn enough to pay off his full balance each month (whether he does so or not should be his option).

you have to be 18 for one of your own, but you could probably get your own credit card with her as an authorized user, and she would just get a card with her name that's under your account. credit cards are evil, though- debt is how the man keeps us all down- fractional reserve banking- invisible money

You can probably get her a card on your account, and that way you can put a block on the card with a maximum amount.
