<prompt> Human: Title pretty much sums it up. Im looking for a first credit card. I get a ton of offers in the mail, but I assume that any card spamming me with offers like that is going to be a garbage card with horrible interest so they get ignored. I previously applied for a CC I thought was pretty good, but was ultimately denied. What is the best CC you can get with no credit history?Also, Ive heard conflicting reports on what the best strategy is to build credit with a card. Some say that you should make a small charge and pay it off in full every month. Others say that youll never build credit if you totally pay off your card, and the best option is to always leave a small balance on it. What is the best way to build credit cheaply?  <response>: Get whatever you can with no membership fees, good reward programs are a plus.My first card was a discover card. Ive been happy with it and I would recommend them. Good perks all around on it.I have an AmEx blue cash everyday card as well. Slightly different rewards perks, but also a solid no yearly fee card that I would recommend.As far as building credit. Use it for small every day purchases like gas, and pay it off in full when you get your statement. You do not need to carry a balance and pay interest to improve your credit. Your card usage is typically reported when your statement is issued so youll still have credit utilization showing.In your mind, think of it as a debit card, dont purchase anything you couldnt pay off immediately.
