i think their is a website like fatwallet.com that has some really good discussion on good credit cars. basically your just going to have to get a card to start building ur credit up, pay your bills on time, and eventually switch over to a cash back credit card

Look for one with no annual fee.

I have a list of good cards on my website (see profile) if you're interested.

1% back on all purchases
5% back on RESTAURANTS, BOOKSTORES, RECORD STORES, MOVIE THEATRE, MOVIE RENTAL STORES

however, you only get to redeem in form of gift certs to get the full 5% back (and in $100 increments). It's not that hard to be accepted into this cc either.
