When it comes to trying to establish a credit history, there are actually a lot of banks out there that have made it their specialty to extend VISA or even Master Card credit cards even to those who are still greenhorns when it comes to owning a credit card. However, don't go "applying crazy" as each application will actually reflect on your credit reports so if, unfortunately, you end up getting rejected - lots of times, it'll make you look pretty bad in the eyes of creditors as you may be deemed desperate

If you failed in that kind of application, you can still pursue two other possible approaches. One is to try your hand with credit cards from department stores or the ones from oil companies - gas cards as most people call them. These pseudo credit cards will actually help you get some credit history and are much easier to obtain as compared with credit bigwigs like VISA or Master Card. These will help you become more qualified for a real credit card, still, don't get too excited and start pursuing multiple applications at one time, even if you already got the thumbs up from one company, still wait a little while before once again applying for a new card.

Assess your "credit history" after a year of getting your bank issued credit card, a good and well managed credit card history actually entitles you to the possibility of getting another credit card, however, if there's really no need for a new one or if you've mismanaged you first one, don't even think of applying for a second credit card line as you may end up acquiring more and more debt.
