I was looking at the Amex Blue, Blue for Students, Green Rewards, and Green for Students. I would pay off the balance monthly and I do travel quite a bit for someone my age (8 or so flights in the past two months). I find green for students a bit odd though, $55/annually and an additional $40/year for joining MR (when Green Rewards is $65 and includes this)? What is right for someone not looking to carry a balance but build credit at the same time?
Thanks.
My vote is for the green rewards or green student. Don't mess with blue if your going to pay off the balance.
You get car rental insurence with green, so when you travel that can save you money.
I am not 18 yet, but I plan on getting the student green card after in '05 to start building my own credit.
What school do you go to?
