A student card with the fees taken out
The two charges that quietly cost students money are the annual fee and the foreign transaction fee. This card has neither as of Sep 6, 2026, and it still pays a flat 1.5% on everything, so there is nothing to activate and nothing to track.
What you earn
Unlimited 1.5% cash back on every purchase, with no categories to activate and no cap, as of Sep 6, 2026.
The bonus
$100 after $300 in purchases in the first three months. That is a low bar compared with most bonuses in our catalog.
Travel use
No foreign transaction fee on purchases made outside the United States, so the card works on exchange programs without a 3% tax on every coffee.
The honest warning
The purchase APR runs 18.49% to 28.49% variable as of Sep 6, 2026. This card rewards paying in full, it punishes carrying a balance.
