Does anyone know what's the income requirements?
I had put down $10,000 on the application since that's my income I earn while working, but I didn't include other money given to me by my parents and sponsor (I'm a college student). Later on, I realized that I should have reported all liquid income that's in my bank accounts, right?
Thanks!
That is incorrect. Your bank balance is not income. There is a box to check to verify that you do have a checking/savings/moneymarket account.
Most credit card companies have student credit cards to build credit histories. It sounds like you do not have enough income to qualify for the AAdvantage cards yet if you are honest about your income level. But that is actually normal for students. Try the Forward or Dividend card from Citi. They are designed for students.
