I'm graduating in a few months so I figure I might as well apply for another credit card just in case. I'm going to be working in another country next year so it's going to make it hard if I put it off.

I currently have an MBNA Mastercard (Red Sox baby:D) I've had for a couple of years and a Visa cosigned by my parents that I got when I was 16, neither with a balance.

I'm thinking about getting a Visa from Citibank, any other options? Any cards that are for students and also offer perks (like cash back points or something)?

i have a bank of america visa, has cashback.

amex has a student card with cashback, although not as used worldwide.

att has a mastercard/ platinum card that gives great credit limits and is really easy to get
