The best student credit card out there for both rewards and intro APRs is Citi Forward for College Students.
The card tops our rankings because you get 5 points per $1 spent at restaurants and on movies/entertainment. It’s not too shabby when it comes to APRs either, with a 0% intro APR on purchases for 7 months and a 0% intro APR on balance transfers for 12 months.
The deal just got even better.
Through the end of September, Citi is offering additional incentives on 3 out of 4 student credit cards, so it’s a great time to take advantage. You won’t find this deal on Citi’s student credit card site, but you can find it by following the link below:
