If you have a good credit score, I don't see why not? Credit limits are usually made on the basis of declared income.

I have tried to get one a couple times but I got turned down.You may have to do the secured credit card option first where you give them a couple hundred dollars first as a credit limit.One other option is getting a store card because Academy has offered me those multiple times but its hard for disabled people to get access to credit typically.Just make sure you are a credit card person and pay that card off in full every month.Credit card a-okay, credit card debt no way in most cases.Credit cards are not free money.Do you have a few hundred dollars as collateral for the credit card company?
