If your finances are so that you have to scrape for concert tickets, you may need to examine the true priorities in life.

Good point. Acquiring a credit card isn't that great of a challenge these days... depending on the choices that you've made in life up to the point of applying. Every decision you make has consequences - not always negative - but they do; in this guys life, his decisions prevented him from getting a credit card, and going to this show.

His inability to get credit, and his choice to post his frustrations on thehip.com speak loudly to me about him.

Can you tell me how to get a credit card because I sure as hell can't get one. I'm being punished for paying all my bills and never being in debt. I've bought three vehicles in my life, all with cash. Now I'm being punished for being frugal with my money and not needing a loan. :lol:

Start by going to your bank and see what the manager can do for you.

Sam, I've been turned down by several companies already because of "no credit history". That's what I want a damn card for, to build credit. I've already been turned down by MY PRIMARY BANK! My "reality" is that I haven't been able to obtain a credit card, even from my own bank. Maybe I could try a few other banks though. Thanks for the advice. :thumb:
