Owning a Credit Card - General Requirements

Earlier, to get qualified for a card you had to have an established job, a steady income and a good credit rating. But today the eligibility criterion has been relaxed a lot; even the teenagers can own a credit card. A good credit rating is still taken in consideration for qualifying for a credit card.  Each financial institution has its own admissibility requirements; but in general all companies have the same basic requirements or criteria.

They also tend to see if you have some existing debt load and for how long. Credit-cards-info.com Reports:
