I got the credit card 2 weeks ago or so, and I have no idea how to log in to pay for it. As far as I’m concerned this card didn’t come with a card number, or it has a misprint. It only has 18 digits and it’s formatted like:

XXXX-XXX-XXX-XXX-XXX-X-X

And the website requires 19 digits. Help pls

I'm 19 and only have a debit card, not credit. I swear when I was checking out a JCPenney's she said rewards card, but then she gave me a pamphlet that said credit card. I had already given her my license and put my SSN in. My email was in as well, but I haven't received anything (checked spam folder too, nothing), and I'm in college so if it went through the mail it would be at my home address. I have no idea how stuff like this works, and there was another post on the same topic but it was from 4 years ago and archived. I'm also not sure what "paying it off" refers to, as the clerk didn't say anything like that.

I grew up in a family that was drowning in credit card debt and the unforgiving int rates, fees and all of that, which is why I stay tf away from credit cards. I’m 21 and a bunch of banks send me in the mail the option to apply for a credit card with them but I always ignore them.

At the checkout at JCPenney, the cashier said something about a 35% discount and I told her why not. My mind was somewhere entirely and it came back to reality when she gave me my receipt even tho I never made a payment so I asked why and she told me that I now have a 1.5k credit card limit at JCPENNEY.

Now I’m wondering if this card works the same way as BOA CD does where if you pay a minimum amount each month, you won’t get charge any fees. I usually pay in full each month but I forgot to do it once and they charged me. Idk much about how credit cards work tho. I have a 788 FICO score but I don’t what tf it means or what I can do with it.
