I'm a college student going abroad to Italy in the fall. I do have a discover which has no foreign transaction fee however its acceptance in Europe is very limited so I need to get a visa or master with no foreign transaction fee. I've been wanting a card similar to the CSP or bc arrival because I'm working in New York this summer and will be spending ~$350 in commuting expenses alone per month and would certainly make it easer to get the sign-up bonus/ be rewarded for commuting and eating. The problem is these visa signature cards with my limited credit history ruin my chances of getting them. I had my eye on the barclaycard arrival platinum mastercard because I probably had a shot at it however they literally just discontinued it.
I was going to wait in the garden for two more months until the end of july so I could have two more months of reporting but I'd really like to start racking up points while I'm working in ny this summer.
Can anyone recommend me a decent card to get for my experience. My signature shows what I have, most recent fico is 725. Another downside is I have ~$55k in deferred student loans which would make certain cards difficult to get.
Thanks
There is an boa travel rewards card that has no AF or FTF . I beleive its 1.5x on every purchase. That may be an bit easier to get maybe.
