Thanks all for the insight and thoughts.
I also hope my son will have the same success.

Since most card apps. have to put in info on Employment and Annual Income, what did your son or anyone else in this situation, put as income if I assume still in school and not working? Does all these banks still approve the higher end cards such as the Preferred or Signature cards with no income but starting to have some credit history only
Thanks again
