Good CC for a young college student?

[F1N3ST]

Figured I would start early and open up some low limit high interest rate credit card to build credit.

I went on VISA's site, and there were like 11 different ones from different providers.

Since I'm not the most knowledgeable in CC companies or providers and whatnot I figured I would ask the ever so wise ATOT.

I'm fairly impartial to what kind (VISA, Mastercard etc) But I would like one that can actually be used in a lot of places, lol.

My Checking is with PNC, and I have a debit card there.

I'm financially responsible, so that's not a problem.

Thanks! :awe:

To build interest? I hope you meant credit.

I don't think it really matters too much. The easiest thing to do is to just open a nice easy no-fee MC/Visa through your bank, if available. It usually makes paying it easier.

Get one through your bank with a small limit on it. Maybe $500 or $1000 tops.
