Right? WRONG. I recently applied for one of these "student" cards and was turned down for little credit, even though i've had an account with chase for 17 years, and have opened numerous department store cards to build credit. My banker was even a little thrown off and didn't know what to say. Anyways, a loss for Chase, as I recently was approved for a Charles Schwabb Invest First visa that has 2% CASH BACK on all purchases and way lower apr than this sad excuse for a student card. AND no international fees for currency conversions, good for travelers like me!
