Don't get the student blue. Get the real blue.....Student blue will give you a higher percentage rate, lower limit, and you can't do AMEX pricematches.

Amex Blue and Student Amex Blue are ok credit cards but their perks suck ever since Amex killed the BVG (Best Value Guarantee for price matching). Yes other Amex cards offer BVG but they also carry an annual fee.

You want a cc although you don't currently have a job? Good luck.

APR = annual percentage rate or "interest rate"
