what is a good, low interest, credit card to start establishing my credit with?

littlemermaid86 asked:


I have absolutely no credit whatsoever and I’m being denied by every card I apply for! I have a good, steady job but I am not in college at the moment. I’m getting married and I would like to build my credit for the future. Does anyone have a card they can suggest, preferably a visa (but not necessary) with low interest, that will probably accept me?

thanks everyone!!!!

What is the “Locator Identification” number on the back of the envelope for credit card offers?

mama asked:


There is a statement below it saying it’s a violation of federal law to steal or possess stolen mail, and to defraud by mail a financial institution. These started showing up a while back.

I shred all my credit card offers, including any inserts that have the offer number on it. I’m pretty sure the Locator Identification number it’s not an offer number, so I shouldn’t have to shred it. I just wanted to see if someone knew for sure what it is. What exactly are they tracking? Is this to combat the people that remove their name from the offers and mail the junk back to them, costing them postage?
