Aspire visa.

if you get one of the $300 credit line offers though, steer clear of it like an open sore covered herpes victim. (i just had to say it)

seriously though any card with no annual fee or other fees will work, i would ask your bank that you use about their card personally. as long as you pay the balance every month you make a purchase the apr doesn’t matter, even if its 29%. after proving you are a good customer, they will start offering credit line increases and apr reductions.

Why don’t you apply Discover student card? Some credit card companies do promotions in the campuses. It is important to establish credit during junior year.
