I know nothing about credit, interest rates, payments, etc. Can somebody reccomend a credit card that would suit a college student, and give me the jist of establishing good credit? Also, what should I look for when making my final decision? What is important to know?

Thanks so much!!

Here's the best strategy for using credit cards and building your credit:

1. Get a rewards credit card that will pay you well for your normal spending (what you'd spend your cash on even if you didn't have a credit card). A couple of the better student rewards cards are the Citi mtvU and Citi Driver's Edge for Students cards (see below for more advice).
2. Funnel most/all of your normal spending through your credit card(s)
3. Pay your balance in full every every month

That way you will:
1. Build your credit quickly
2. Avoid interest
3. Earn rewards

To quickly see which student rewards credit card will pay you the most for your normal spending, you can use this rewards calculator:

I think the best credit for a college student is a secured credit card. This way it requires responsibility on your own behalf the whole credit game is dangerous and should be used very wisely.

I would recommend a not -for -profit type like a credit union - see if you have a relative that has a credit union. They can be in my opinion better.

american express, but It depends for what it will be used : I found interesting information about your answer & the best credit card options here. http://all-debt-consolidation-loan.blogspot.com/2007/07/chase-credit-cards.html
Good luck!

None. If you have no job and are only a student, do not get a credit card. If you are working then, O.K. - apply for the credit cards with the lowest overall interest rates. APR.
