[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do I just call the credit card company to add my college student? Is there anything to be aware of when adding a student to your credit card? [/quote] Most cc companies allow you to add an authorized user online. Check to make sure they report to credit bureaus separately. Once added, you can pretty much use their credit card for everything and let them get the credit benefit of the spend. Ideally, you should've done this at least a year before they start college and get them their own card when they start college. Even without doing this, your kid may get credit offers from their bank which you can take advantage of. [/quote]
