[quote=Anonymous][quote]Trying to figure out a small credit card option for DC but none of our banks will issue one to student even if secured by CD like they did for awhile. Prefer it not be attached to my account. I know it’s not the 80s anymore when they were given away (issued) like candy in dorm mailings but has anyone had luck with this?[/quote] There is likely a bank with a branch on campus and they will issue one to your DC. (Actually, both of my kids did get mailings just before heading off to their respective schools). It might be some weird regional bank you never heard of, but it should do the trick. For checking account, we just had DC get one locally from a national bank prior to moving. (But I assume most kids already have checking accounts if they've been on payroll somewhere). +1 to buying the IKEA bags for moving. Buy them early (I waited and got stuck with the ones with no zippers, which were still fine). [/quote]
