By yourself….. 18 because that is when you can be legally bound to a contract…. However… there is as great program called Visa Buxx
When both my children turned 13 I got them in this program. You just need a parent or guardian or someone else with a credit card. They would go in and set you up on the bank web site. They use their credit card to Load or put money into your card. You can pay them directly or however you work it out with your parents etc.
In about 10 days you'll get a Visa card in the mail that can be used like any Visa card that anyone has anywhere in the world. Keep in mind your parents can see everything that you charge but the card will only have your name on it and will help you establishing credit and learning the responsibility of using a credit card correctly.

I think you have to be 18 but you definately have to have a job. Getting a credit card is not easy if you don't already have existing credit.

In the U.S., anyone 18 and over can get a credit card. However, the longer you have a work history and reliable income, the better your odds.

Any age now I think...with a job. I had a job in high school and couldn't get a cc, then went to college and didn't work and suddenly I could get any cc I wanted! If you are unemployed, try putting student in the occupation field...I would lay down money and bet that you get accepted for a cc of some kind!

ANY AGE.
The Credit card (businesses) CAPITALIZE on "catching (you) earlier in your life" so they can get you to pay them more throughout your life.
"Credit" is such an enticing thing to have, but you must use it wisely or THEY WILL GET YOU and when they do "get you" they will keep you in their greedy grasp!
