Which card is right for you and your son or daughter with so many choices out there? First look for one that has a long promotional rate and the promotional APR periods. Zero percent for a period of six months is an introductory rate you may see and these rates should be paid off before the six months is up. Certainly avoid the offering of a free gift attached to any card. Although it might seem a nice gesture, it is a bribe to get you to apply. A card that has been issued from a nationally recognized bank will allow you established credit faster.  A card that offers a rewards program could possibly give you cash back or an amount of credit towards purchases of selected merchandise. A student credit card can be a real lifesaver for emergencies, just be smart with your spending and don’t get yourself into a hole that will be hard to get out of. Be sure to spend some time doing your research before deciding which student credit cards offers the best rewards and rates.
