<prompt> Human: I need to buy a new MacBook moving from a Masters program to a PhD program, have to give back my school-issued MacBook. I have the money to buy a MacBook in cash, but I was wondering if there was a way to do it with credit thatd start to repair my credit score.My credit is TERRIBLE dumb undergraduate decisions I still havent fully recovered from. I havent had a credit card since I was 20 and have idly assumed I wouldnt even be able to get one if I tried. However, is there a way I could get a store-issued credit card, put the Macbook on it, and then immediately pay it off? Whats the best way to go about doing this?Thanks so much in advance for any advice you can offer!Assistant: Put it on a credit card, pay it off in full after your statement hits. Do not finance consumer electronics just to build your credit score.Human: Thanks! If I put it on a card, it would only be to pay it off immediately thereafter. How would I go about getting a card with a score as crappy as mine? Do the big stores Macys, Kohls, etc pretty much issue them to anyone, or is there a specific way I should go about doing this?  <response>: Not sure if Apple has a store-issued card or not. But check out creditkarama and nerdwallet to see what sorts of credit cards you might be able to get with your current score.If all else fails, do you happen to have twice the cost of the computer in your checking account? You could always get a secured credit card. But youd need the amount of the credit limit to put down a deposit, and then the amount of the computer to pay off the statement.
