oh you know what if you are a student, and pay your bills ontime,
go apply for the "citibank AA advantage "Silver" Mastercard".
Just lie to them say you own a house, make $60K a year, have a checkings and savings, live at the same address for 1.5 years, work at the same (job) for 1.5 years, and they'll give you like $5000 credit line.
Computers don't verify any of the info provided, the only thing people verify are that your phone #'s are in the phone book.
I told a friend of mine to do this, and it worked.
Of course, if its a moral dilemna, then ignore it. But citibank AAdvantage mastercard (silver/gold) are the easiest credit card on the planet to get if you have some credit and no late pays.
