What is the purpose of student credit cards?
I mean, I understand the concept of building credit and everything, but what is the point of student credit cards? What is the purpose? I’m sorry if this is a silly question, but I don’t really get it.Student credit cards offer students with little or no income the opportunity to prove their creditworthiness. They tend to have higher interest rates than standard credit cards since students pose a higher risk of default. But the credit card companies want to gain loyal customers early– and see college students as a great opportunity.
And can you trade them in after you’re no longer a student for a “real” credit card? Do people just keep them forever? I always thought closing accounts lowered your credit score?
Many BIG issuers have gotten into the ‘student credit card’ game. To see a complete list, visit:

When you decide to upgrade to a ‘regular’ credit card after school– don’t worry too much about closing the old account. Although it will have a slightly negative impact– it’s only short-term.

Family meeting folks, need to cut cost, OK how about canceling all insurance policies (frauds anyway) walk away from credit cards (Fico a fraud and slavery). Hey,..it’s just a pragmatic family business decision, Big banks do it all the time so they remain “liquid”. Think I’ll start me a family veggie garden, pop me a cool one and,… Oh well fuck it!
