Income is very important for Amex. If you declare your parents income you should be able to get any card you want, but otherwise you won't stand much chance I'm afraid.

your best bet is to apply for college cards.

 

normal credit cards require some form of income and certain lenders might FR you to ask for proof.

JPMorgan Palladium (100k), AmEx Platinum (NPSL), AmEx SPG (46k), AmEx BCP (42k), Chase Sapphire Preferred (47k), Citi Prestige (31k), Citi Thank You Preferred (27k), Citi Executive AAdvantage (25k), JPMorgan Ritz-Carlton (21k), Merrill+ (15k), US Bank Cash+ (22.5k), Wells Fargo (12k), Bloomingdale’s (12.4k), Chase Freedom (5k), Discover IT (5k).
