What was it Jack Nicholson said? “You can’t handle the truth!”

No, the truth about student credit cards isn’t all that drastic, I promise! Credit is a fact of life; everyone needs it if they want to get what they need. Yes, that even includes a job. So, having a student credit card is not a bad thing because it is a necessity.

Wrong Reasons for Opening a Student Credit Card

Having said that, students need to be cautious when applying for a credit card for certain reasons. They shouldn’t apply for the one that gives away what they consider the coolest gift. You know those gifts, the hottest new CD or a free t-shirt to add to your closet.

A few weeks back, the Federal Reserve issued a series of clarifications regarding the Credit CARD Act of 2009. While the last of the regulations were implemented about a year ago, issuers have tried to sidestep the intent of the regulation.

“There are some issues that simply were not provided for in the legislation, or that the legislation resolved in a way that is now raising concerns,” spokesman Dean DeBuck said. “Where we find violations of new or existing requirements we will insist on immediate correction and will take formal enforcement action where appropriate to the circumstances.”
