My special place to write and think about credit card application
" The select customers consist of 19,000 of the 20,000 students on campus (and the credit card company would have sent offers to the other thousand if it just had their addresses), but most new customers wouldn't realize that without being told. Nor are the "special" offers very special. Learning to carefully evaluate any credit card offer that uses flattery is key to avoiding bad student credit card offers. * Teach them how to read the fine print. Credit card issuers hide the details of student credit cards' terms in blocks of minute print or in long, bewildering tables, couched in jargon as dry and obscure as possible.
