You have to be 18 to get a credit card though. Are they supposed to start marketing them to children now?

No, the law covers this.

>unlawful for any creditor to discriminate against any applicant, with respect to any aspect of a credit transaction, on the basis of [...] age (provided the applicant has the capacity to contract)

Children don't have the capacity to contract, so excluding them is lawful.
