I used to feel that way about Amex as well. I’ve been pleasantly surprised at the number of places that now do accept it. The nice thing about the Amex Bluecard is that after you spend more than $6,500, you get 5% back on gas and supermarket purchases and 1.5% back on everything else. It’s not likely that a college student can take advantage of this.

In looking at reward cards, read the fine print. Some cap the annual amount of the rewards. The nice thing about the Citi card is that there are ways you can earn points without purchases: on time payments and good grades.
