In lieu of co-signing, the American Express Blue Cash for students looks more palatable. Will be checking for any negative comments on the web.

It has a $1000 limit (more reasonable than the $250 that First Financial has - which is just begging the kid to go over their limit!). It has free, user specified, on-line alert service for various things, including how many days 'till payment due and how many $ near your spending limit you are.

The fees are equally as bad as First Financial, but looks like you have more of a chance of avoiding them. Also a better interest rate, I believe. Reward points earned and it has many of the other typical AMEX protection/insurance features.

So it is definitely gaining my attention!
