Post subject: Blue / Blue Cash, or Blue for Students?

Junior in college; listed as AU on a few accounts in good standing (TU). Currently unemployed (full-time student), but significant financial support to specify on the income field of apps.

One account in my name (Discover student card, $1000).

TU reports score as right around 700; Equifax does not provide score (AUs didn’t report to them / they don’t seem to have that AU info, and only that Discover is on it); Experian, don’t know what they say.

Not sure what Amex tends to pull in Texas.

Looking for a good second card and was considering one of the Blues - given the above, should I shoot for the cash back or regular Blue, or go with the student card?

I’m also kind of liking Clear, but I don’t really know if I could get into that or if it’s worthwhile in comparison.

BLUE CASH is useless

I dumped mine and moved the credit limit to another of my AMEX cards

mouse is absolutely correct… Blue Cash IS useless, just got it and wish I hadn’t… I’m probably not going to use it, or just switch it to something else.
