Your right I was not specific enough, kind of thought everyone would know that, but after your post, I thought "well maybe not".

Thanks, guys. Anyone know about that Citi mtvU card? Do you have to be a student to get it? Any way around that?

You must be a US citizen 18 years of age and a college student.

It is a big deal to someone that is Platinum on DL but still flies 5-10 times on AA per year. You cannot challenge every year.

I know - that's what the application/web site say, but do they verify this? Has anyone gotten around it (the college student part, obviously)?

The college student is verified with campus data and black flagged if false as a potential ID theft issue. Tread lightly!!!

YMMV

Enroll in a community college. Sign up for a free class(most of the community colleges should have free classes) and then apply for MTVu.
