Best Credit Cards For College Students

Nancy Said:

what is best credit card for college students with no credit history?

We Answered:

Yes, the Citi mtvU card is a great rewards card for students -- especially those who spend a lot at restaurants and entertainment (5% rewards in those categories).

A couple other good cards for students are:

- Citi Driver's Edge for Students -- 3% rewards at gas stations, grocery stores, and drug stores; 1% everywhere else.

- Fidelity Investments® 529 College Rewards® American Express® Card - 1.5% rewards on all spending; goes into a 529 account for college tuition

- Discover® Open Road for Students Card

You can use this rewards calculator to see which of those cards (or others) will pay you the most for your normal spending profile:

As far as I know, none of those student rewards cards require good credit.

what is the best credit card with airline rewards points for college students?

We Answered:

Do your math on those airline rewards.
I haven't found one yet that gives me more than 1% back on my purchases.
I have always thought its a better deal to get a cash back rewards cards. Like 1% cash back.
No airline miles can beat that.
Plus airline miles are a nightmare to redeem.
Do your math. Make a smart decision.

Ian Said:

What is the best starter credit card for a college student looking to build good credit (job: babysitter)?

We Answered:

i would suggest a gas station card, or a department store card. Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express and all the others will see your credit history, good or bad, and offer plenty of cards after a very short time. They are businesses that are competing for the revenue. Best wishes and good luck.
