student cards are meant for college students with no credit. secured cards require a security deposit. ken himmler: you throw in 300 to $500 and then you start making charges. and i would suggest making the charges in small increments and pay that card at least every 2 weeks, because that can boost your credit. the good news is, you get that deposit back when your account is upgraded or closed in good standing. now if you want to save on interest: then you want a or balance transfer card. these cards are typically for someone with good credit. but beware: tricia : what are the pitfalls of balance transfers for the consumer? ken: well typically it's the fee that you have to pay right up front. but balance transfer cards can definitely help pay off high interest debt. just make sure with any of these cards, you understand whether you're getting a fixed rate, or introductory rate that jumps up after a certain amount of time. finally, if you want to earn extra perks just for using your credit card: then get a rewards

want. there's catalogs. there's travel. you can get tires changed. you can get gasoline. there's all kinds of different and keep in mind, these cards usually have higher aprs. in the end, whatever card you pick, pay your bill in full every month, before you build up too much debt. michael/credit card holder: it's real easy to spend, and just pay $50, insead of the cards to choose from..... you've decided..... what kind works.... best for you. to help... personal finance site...
