Survey: Credit Cards Pushed on Students

Back to blog

I am always interested to hear about aggressive credit card marketing to college students. When I turned 18, I was eager to build credit; but found it very difficult to obtain a credit card specifically due to a lack of a credit history despite my college student status and full-time job on the side.
