I just recently applied for my first credit card from Capital One and got approved for a visa platinum card with a $1,000 credit line and no interest for 6 months. 20% APR after that (but its variable so who knows). I'm not going to carry a balance anyways unless some emergency comes up. I'm 18 with zero real credit history (unless my paypal debit card and former visabuxx card is on my credit - but they shouldn't be). I'm a super good credit freak and want to build my credit the best I can. But anyways, is this unusual to get such a high credit line? Also, any of you care to share what terms your first credit card was? Also, any tips on handling credit (besides the obvious)?

And wow - it's such a high going to newegg and loading my cart with 1,000 of goodies - knowing I could buy it (not that I have anything to complain about now). But ah the temptation .
