AmEx card members might wonder if you are lucky enough to receive such an offer.  My take is: in order for you to be in that list, you need to scare AmEx to believing you are going to charge off your account, otherwise, they don’t worry about you, therefore won’t spend $300 to keep you away.

At least, American Express is doing this in a win-win strategy, minimizing their losses while keeping card holders who are on the brinks of charge off happy, from this perspective, AmEx is a brand of card worth to have.

Check out American Express credit cards.

Here I compare the best gas rebate credit cards from major banks. Discover Open Road card and American Express SimplyCash Business card both offer a 5% cash back reward on gas purchases, but Discover Open Road card sets $100 per month, $1200 per year limit on gas purchases that are eligible to 5% reward, so we pick SimplyCash card as the top choice since it remains the only card that offers 5% reward for unlimited gas purchases. Although it’s a business card, individuals could apply for it as a sole proprietor.

These credit cards usually carry a higher interest rate than most mainstream deals, but this is normal as college students don’t typically carry much credit history for credit card issuers to reference. An individual’s credit profile will strongly influence the types of offers available to them in the future, so it is incredibly important for students who receive credit cards to stay on top of their monthly payments in order to maintain a favorable opinion with the three major credit bureaus.

Credit cards for students aren’t just about learning fiscal responsibility – they can be used for fun too! Many of the cards below come with reward programs that cater to the student lifestyle including discounts for traveling back home, exclusive local concerts & events, and other fun bonuses for spring break destinations or holiday getaways.
