I applied for a student discover card for my 18 year old son who is stating college next weeks. He was approved for $500.00. For those parents who would like to apply, I used my income and he is also an authorized user on 2 of my capital one credit cards. I live in NYC he is staring college in Georgia and I will be managing his account to make sure that he is using credit responsible. Although I have a long way to go. I am glad to be teaching him about the importance of good credit and
