Ever Heard of a Gas Card?
If you’re new to credit cards, and are looking for a way to start your credit history without putting yourself in a position to overspend, a gas card might be right for you. Basically, they traditionally have a lower credit limit and offer various incentives for spending money at gas stations.
Why is this a good idea versus a normal credit card?
In my professional opinion, using a credit card for something you have to pay for anyway instead of impulse purchases is a much smarter way to build your credit history. If you have a car, gas is a normal expense that would go on your debit card or be paid with cash at each fill-up, so why not use a gas card and kill two birds with one stone?
