    There's lots of places where you can apply for one. For example, your bank, Capital one, Barclaycard. Being on benefits doesn't automatically prevent you from having one. They will look at your credit history to start with. There's websites where you can check your eligibility before applying, just use google to see what you find.

    I won't post links because some of them have charges applied and advertising links to paid products are not allowed here. 
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

    Hi @Mick17, looks like Poppy has already given a great answer to your question but I just wanted to say hello and welcome you to the community. I'll pop your post over to our Benefits and Financial Support section where members can find it and offer their experiences should you have any more questions. 

    I have applied for a credit card while being on benefits in the past so it's definitely not a complete no, you might just need to do a little research before hand to see what the requirements are.

    I hope you're able to find a solution soon :)
