How do I apply for a credit card?

To apply for a credit card in Tennessee, you must be 18 years of age or older and provide a valid form of identification. You will have to fill out an application with your personal information such as name, address, phone number, and other financial details. You must also provide your Social Security number for the credit card issuer to perform a credit check. This will determine your credit worthiness and if you are eligible for a particular card.
