In most cases, banks may hesitate to do business with someone under 18, as they are not legally an "adult" and should you be unable to pay any debt, it would be hard for them to collect. Most banks offer either a student credit card with a low limit, which a responsible student can slowly be offered more credit or an ATM/Debit card with a Visa or MasterCard logo - which can be used as a credit card, but uses money already in your account instead of 'credit'. Contact a bank in your area about theae options. Also, you've made a great step in starting a credit history at this age. It will help you out down the road when you want to buy a house or a car!

What are typical interest rates for gasoline credit cards?

There are two types of charge cards offered at most gasoline retailers, a credit card sponsored by the gasoline company and a card for that gasoline company specifically. For example, Petro Canada at one time offered a CIBC Visa Petro credit card, which could be used anywhere and still collect points to be redeemed at Petro Canada. They also had a Petro Canada credit card, which could only be used to purchase products from Petro Canada. The rate on a gasoline company charge card tends to be higher than that of a standard credit card, at about 29% interest rate on average.
