Bad credit credit cards, things to consider
Now that you have started college, credit card companies are going to chase you with an ardor you only wish you could see from your fellow students. To a credit card company, you are their dream date: young, with a clean credit report and (they hope) no understanding at all of how credit cards work. They want you to take a credit card with an irresistibly low introductory rate, spend madly, and owe them thousands upon thousands of dollars when your interest rate shoots up at the end of the introductory period. Let's disappoint them. The first tip is not to let the big, bright "0 percent interest rate" on the front of the brochure fool you.
