Look for anything weighing these 3 factors equally; lowest possible interest rate, rewards/benefits, credit limit. For the lowest interest rate go to google and type compare credit card interest rates. For reward/benefits you should be checking to make sure that the card is right for you. What are you in it for, what are the perks of the card if any, how long is the interest rate what it is and then what does it change to, cash advance fees, ect ect. I know when I signed up for my first card in college I got a free sub from subway and that's it. Now I know of cards that will give you money back for each purchase, gas rewards, 0% for the first 12-24 months as an interest rate. As far as credit limit goes the higher the credit limit the more money you have to spend/charge and if you keep your spending low and have a lot of availible credit you can easily build your credit score. Beware of interest rates higher than 18% AFTER the introductory period. Always read the fine print. Usually credit unions/banks have the best rates but not always. Really the only way to know unless you're pre approved is to have them run your credit and tell you the interest rate so don't be fooled by ads that say one thing prior to even knowing who you are. Most importantly don't get a credit card unless you're either building up your credit, need one for an emergency, or plan on paying it off in full. If you are reckless with it you'll be sky high in debt in no time so be careful.
