I have no credit and I need to pay for my college which comes up to about $2,000. I was wondering if there is a credit card out there that will have this limit for me?

The content is accurate at the time of publication and is subject to change.

If you are a student, consider applying for a credit card like the Discover it® Student Cash Back. It has low interest rates and no annual fee. Plus you will earn 1% cash back on all your purchases. You can even Earn 5% cash back on everyday purchases at different places you shop each quarter like grocery stores, restaurants, gas stations, and more, up to the quarterly maximum when you activate.

If you do not want a student card, apply for a card for people with limited or no credit history.

The credit limit on the card is always determined by the credit card issuer, who will base the decision on your creditworthiness. Credit lines usually start at $200.

Should I apply for a credit card through my bank or can I apply for any card? Also, how exactly do credit cards work when I buy things?
