Never owned a credit card and I feel like it's time to grow up and improve my credit so that down the road I can rent an apartment, house, etc.

Since I have no credit, would the above offer be worth getting? Are there better alternatives? I'm a former NEET who is currently in college.

Also, I was thinking of getting a netflix account and using this card so that I can pay it off and build credit. Would that be a good idea?

As long as you don't fuck up and miss a payment, pretty much any card will do.

Seriously, pay on time and pay everything off.

Some banks offer "student" credit cards. Low credit limit but there's no deposit like there is with secured credit cards.

You should be able to get a better one within a year.

I've seen many reasonable people get into a jam and start bailing with their plastic. Next thing you know they got 10 large with 30% juice running, that's 300 a month and whatever other dings are in the small print, then it starts compounding. I have a prepaid card because they are forcing the plastic meme in so many places now but wow I've seen the plastic ruin many a life. So long is OP is careful and sure he will never start using it the way I described he might be OK. Back in the dark ages they would chop the heads off any money lenders charging more than 3% simple interest, really makes you think!

Credit isn't that big of a deal nowadays considering that most millennials are dead broke and can't afford to be spending like the boom years of the 80's and 90's.
