Press Release Summary = If you are preparing to get a student credit card, here is
vital information to help you understand the underlying facts about college/student
credit cards

Press Release Body = Student/college credit cards are credit cards specifically
designed for young men and women attending college. Though student credit cards are
also referred to as college credit cards, we will use the identifier, student credit
card in this information release. Student credit card is the more popular term to
describe credit cards for young men and women attending college. Student credit
cards allow their users to understand the benefits of credit card usage prior to
graduating college and taking on a full time occupation. Typically, for most college
students, their student credit card is their first credit card and the door-opener
to the world of credit card usage. Some students may have previously used
supplementary credit cards, but those credit cards are linked to their father\'s or
mother\'s credit card account. However, it is true for those college students too,
that their student credit card is the first credit card they can truly call their
own.

Student credit cards are essentially the same as other credit cards, basically. They
are used in the same way as other credit cards are. Some differences come into play
for student credit card users, primarily because they have no prior experience using
credit cards and more than likely don\'t understand credit cards, conceptually and
completely. Therefore, credit card issuers are at risk when approving student credit
cards for young individuals who have little or no credit or credit card usage
history. The inexperience of the student credit card user, in managing their
finances competently, puts the student credit card issuer at risk of receiving the
monthly credit card bill payments on time and/or receiving the payments at all. To
insure themselves from student credit card issuance risks, the issuer of student
credit cards usually requires a parent of the student to co-sign the student credit
card application form. Also, the credit limit assigned to student credit cards is
lower than it is for credit cards issued to working adults. Still, the assigned
credit limit is, most often, large enough to fulfill the college student\'s needs.
Another method credit card issuers use to dissuade college students from
overspending is to assign a higher interest rate to the student credit card.

If we are to look at those seeming, previously mentioned, impositions in a positive
manner, we would find that the same impositions are actually advantageous to the
student, who is still training to manage real world credit card usage and most often
those impositions will assist the student credit card user in establishing good
credit history. Good credit history will be important to the student at a later date
in his or her life, when they want to procure more credit cards or loans.

Student credit cards are a very significant way to establish good credit. They are
financial tools which most college student should consider acquiring.
