So I'm in my last semester of a professional school, and will be starting work full-time in the fall with an annual salary of around 150k. Should I list that as annual income on a credit card app? For the apps I had in 2011, I simply listed the salary I made in the summer internship with the employer (around 34k). But now that it's actually the year I will be starting work, I'd like to list the higher income so I could get better limits.
i would wait until i got the full-time job before reporting the 150k income
Good jon....Your time finally paid off.......
Enjoy making that money.........
Wait till your income steady then apps for it. They probably need to send some pay check so just get them all ready.

Well, I have the job (offer and acceptance at least), I just haven't started it yet.
Another option I guess is reconning the credit limit and explaining the situation.

I understand that you have the job, but you are not receiving the income yet. So if they ask for
a paystub, you won't be able to prove your 150k income stated on the app

Since you have accepted the job, I would list the amount you expect to earn for 2013.
Well, I do have the summer paystubs which is the same salary prorated. I could also send a copy of the offer letter.
This isn't the biggest deal. I just want some higher limits for vacationing this summer.
