| I got a student American Express for my daughter when she went overseas for a study abroad. While there is an annual fee, it has all the perks of any AMEX card and no preset limit. When her computer crashed she was able to go to the Apple store and buy a new one. You can apply online at americanexpress.com. She also has a visa card with First National Bank of Omaha for day to day expenses that has increased her limit twice. For students, I recommend the bills come to the parents to ensure they get paid on time (and to keep an eye on expenses). By the time they graduate, they will be on their way to a good credit score. |
