What is the best Credit Card for a college student?
Credit Card
oh asked:
I am a college student trying to establish credit and am looking for a card with a low fixed interest rate. I don’t know where to look because there are so many choices out there. Are there any suggestions on a card or on a range of fixed interest rates that i should look for?

Most colleges and universties have special rates for students.
Go for that, whatever it may be.

Go for a visa card. I got mine through my bank when I was 19 and I used it sparingly and paid on time. After about 2 years it will establish you to apply for more credit.

NONE. Never never get a credit card unless you are gainfully employed. You are only running up credit that your parents will end up paying otherwise.

Actually I would suggest no credit card. Have seen too many get them and end up in terrible situations by the end of their college days and spend the next several years unable to get loans for cars or housing.
My recommendation would be to see you can get a student loan. These are fixed rate loans that do not start expecting re payment until 6 months after you graduate. giving you time to acquire a job and know how to manage your bills. And depending upon the degree choice can be paid by potential employers or by the state for time served in under privileged areas.
However if you must get a credit card get the american express. No the blue with a revolving credit but the original one that you have to pay off each month. This way it will help keep you from racking up debt.
