Highest CL for student card?

What is the highest credit limit someone has received on a student cc?

 

I was thinking of applying for the Citi Forward card, not sure weather to do the student or regular. I figured the student would be easier to get but I really just need a CL over 2k. Thoughts?

How do your credit reports and Fico's look?

 

Edited to correct rather sloppy wording!

Re: Highest CL for student card?

I applied for the Citi Forward earlier this week and was approved for a $4k limit. So I highly recommend them. They used EX, and my EX FAKO at the time was 708. AU on Chase card, two new accounts and util at 32%, no baddies.

My son was just approved for the Citi Forward for Students as well, with the same $4,000 limit. His only other cards are Discover with a $2,500 limit, and a gas card he has never used. His AAoA is over five years as a result of being AU on my AMEX.

 

Thus, it seems like the product generally comes with a $4,000 limit.

TU Fico is 761

AAoA is 8 Years

(thanks to being an AU on my moms AMEX)

6 accts

 

UTIL is kind of high  at 70% though just because I have no high limit cards, so if I buy anything moderately expensive it jumps up.
I just wanted a high CL because its not  uncommon for me to put 2-3k at time on the cards, always PIF though. Figured it would be nice to pick of some of the rewards instead of my mom getting all the points when I put it on the AMEX, although she loves it.

I applied for two student cards when I was a student, Citi ($4000) and Discover($2000), both of which have received large CLIs since.
