The new girl at the bank tried to pull up a credit report, and there was nothing, and she said sorry we can't issue you a card. They owned the house, and paid cash for cars, never any debt. The girl at the bank went to see the manager when my MIL mentioned him by name, he was a former student of my MIL from 1st grade and he known her all his life. He knew she had a comfortable saving account and several CDs with that bank. He made an override in the system to issue her a credit card. It is paid automatically, and she has never in her life paid any interest.

That’s pretty awesome. She also could have purchased a prepaid debit card and loaded it up.
