A pre-college student or returning college student will probably get many student credit card offers in the mail a week. What they need to do is look at each and every offer. What are the terms of the student credit card? The interest rate, fees, annual fees, and are there and perks or bonuses. Perks are usually a good seller for a student credit card company, but it is important to realize just because they offer the perk does not mean it will be a good match for you.
