Ok I'm 18 and going to school but i want a CC just incase i get into a jam.... anyone have any ideas? I've been looking at both Capital One College Student Visa, and Student Discover® Classic Card.... could someone tell me which is better. i don't plan on using the card unless i -must- use it. thanks again :)
The Capital One card has a slightly higher APR than the Discover card, however because it is a Visa card it is more widely accepted. It is a good idea to start building your credit history while you attend college, just make sure you pay your bill on time.
