A place to explore student credit cards
These fees, which are a common way to gouge people with very bad credit ratings, shouldn't appear anywhere on a student credit card application. If you see them, don't waste time asking the company to waive the fees. Toss the application. *Make sure it won't cost you to pay your bill by phone. Most credit card issuers have a number you can call to pay your bill either routinely, or as a panic measure when there's no time to mail in a check before the deadline.
