Good idea to start out, but you probally will still need to have someone co sign if you have no credit history. Also, most gas stations only report to 1 of the credit bureaus (out of 3) and so if you are really trying to build good credit then I would definently get a Visa and a Mastercard also... but only if you have good self control to not spend more than what you have! It is very easy to rack up unpayable debts on credit cards so you need to be very careful. It is a great Idea to have multiple cards with very low credit limits.
