Re: Advice for DS

Thanks everyone for all the advice . I just was not 100% sure what to tell her . A lot has changed since I got my first card when I was 18 I got several no problem us bank was my first so I didn't know if was a good place to start or not now . I'll tell her to try the cap1 student first if its a no then a us bank secured.

Op's sister will qualify for most student cards as she has income and in college

I was only basing it off of personal experience. When I was in that position not too long ago, got denied for every single student card that I applied for, even though i had a really good income for my age at 18.

True. Would've been in much better shape if I had anyone to ask for advice at that time. Oh well, you live and you learn.

Congrats to her 

Before you app think...
Have you done your research of the CC?
Does it fit your spending?
Do you have a plan for the bonus w/o going into debt?
Can you afford the AF?
Do you know the cards benefits? Is it worth the HP?
