My ultimate goal is a reward flight to either Europe or South America.
Thanks a lot. I hope this is in the right forum.

If you can get 1 credit card to start building your credit that's be fine I think. Most likely without a credit history and full time job it might be tough. Might want to look into a prepaid card that will help build credit.
You should probably also sign up for all the major programs and start getting miles into them however you can (promotions, shopping portals, etc) in addition to actual flights/hotel stays.
