I’d go with Discover personally they have two cards specifically for college kids. The chrome card gives 2% on gas & restaurants and 1% on everything else or just the discover it card which is very similar to the Chase Freedom. Idk if they have the same promotion as other cards but I got cash-back match; so your first year is 4% with the chrome and 2-10% for the IT card.
May be late to the game & also late to the credit card game. I used to always believe CASH is king… but I will say now, WRONG. I am still new and can’t agree more with the cash back instead of points for getting into the credit card game (have a handful of 0 perks reward cards that use the “netflix & chill”. My first year with a cash back card did the whole charge & pay off every Friday. This year alone (middle of January until yesterday) I’ve racked up over $500 in cash back it also helps there 0% interest for 15 months BUT still stay in the habit of paying it off every Friday.
