Editor's Choice : Recommended Student Credit Cards
The Discover® Student Card is a really great card for college students. It has so many great features that I'm sure anyone will benefit from it. Below is a summary of what it offers:
5% cash rebate on Airlines, Hotels, Car Rentals and Cruises between Jan and Mar
5% cash rebate on Home Improvement Stores, Department Stores and Clothing Stores between April and June
5% cash rebate on Gas Stations, Hotels, Theme Parks, Zoos and Bookstores between July and September
5% cash rebate on Grocery Stores, Restaurants, Movie Theaters, Movie Rentals between October and November
5% and 20% cash rebates at over 100 online retailers like GAP.com, OldNavy.com, Dell.com, BestBuy.com!
You can also Double the value of rebates that you have earned if you redeem them for select gift cards (over 100 partners). For example, if you have accumulated $40 in rebates, you could get a $80 celebrity cruise, carnival cruise or Universal Orlando Resorts gift card or a $100 Hyatt Hotel and Resorts Gift Card
 The Citi® Dividend Platinum Select® Card for College Students is another great card to get if you are looking to earn cash rebates. For the first six months, you will earn 5% on these types of expenses. For other regular purchases, you will earn 1% rebates. This is a simple card to save money on things you would spend anyway.
If you are the sort that goes for reward points, then the card to consider is the Citi Forward® Card for College Students. It has a reward program based on Citi's ThankYou
Rewards. With this card, you can earn 5 points for
every $1 spent on dining and entertainment and 1 point for other
purchases. Citi is also offering 8,500 ThankYou
Points after you make $250 in purchases within the first 3 months and when you sign up for Paperless Statements within 3 months of account
opening.
You can also earn 100 ThankYou® Points each billing period when you pay on time and stay under your credit line. That means in a year, you can earn 1,200 extra points.
 The Citi® mtvU™ Platinum Select® Visa® Card for College Students is another great credit card for college students. The card gives you extra points for getting good GPA scores. You also earn five points for every dollar you spend on purchases at (1) book stores, (2) record stores, (3) restaurants, including fast food restaurants, (4) motion picture theaters, and (5) video entertainment rental stores.
