<p>Do they put a little enrollment sticker on the bruincard when you start school? The reason why i'm asking is that I applied for a student credit card a few weeks ago, and now the company claims that they can't approve me until I send them a student id with an enrollment sticker on it, and a tuition bill.</p>
<p>where in the world did you apply? i got a credit card from bofa and wells fargo without any enrollment sticker and tuition bill needed. haha.</p>
<p>what the heck is an enrollment sticker? lol</p>
<p>yeah, i don't know what it is! lol i applied for a reg. "student" credit card from citibank. guess i'll look somewhere else.....</p>
<p>why dont you try to apply for the regular (non-student) credit card?</p>
<p>They have enrollment stickers now? :rolleyes:</p>
<p>waitingpatiently, scan your BruinCard both sides and send in a housing receipt or something like that. they also asked those things from me and i was later approved. gl</p>
<p>how do places determine credit limits when it's your first credit card? haha.</p>
<p>yeah i was planning on doing just that and see what would happen. But then I thought maybe Ucla DOES have really cool enrollment stickers, and I thought i might ask you guys. As it turns out, i guess they don't. Thank you Westow!</p>
<p>Very few major universities have enrollment stickers (my CC did, back in the day.) If the credit card company is that crappy, don't bother.</p>
<p>Try Citibank. Good rates, good service, easy to manage.</p>
<p>Citibank is the credit company I applied to :) , and they said they wanted a student ID with an enrollment sticker to prove that i was actually enrolled at UCLA, and that i wasn't a student somewhere else or not at all. oh well...i guess i'll see what happens</p>
<p>why do you need to be a student to get a studen credit card anyway.. isn't it better to get a normal one because the limit would be higher?</p>
<p>waitingpatiently: In that case, tell them that UCLA doesn't offer such a thing, and ask for an alternative method of proof.</p>
<p>smile77: There's a perfectly valid reason: Most people have not established enough credit history to qualify for a good card by the age of 17 or 18. That, and the limit isn't one's concern. Instead, it's the rates and services that a customer should concern herself with.</p>
<p>haha thanks ari. how are you enjoying japan btw. haven't talked to you in a while. still going strong with that gf of yours? when's the wedding! haha.</p>
<p>trust me scanning ur bruin card front and back side is enough. the credit card i applied to IS citibank. its called MTVu student credit and u get reward points for getting good GPAs and all that stuff. </p>
<p>reason why they ask for this is because there is a greater chance that college students are more responsible.</p>
<p>edit: oh and i think they give u a $1500 credit limit which is enough other than paying for BAR bills or a computer :)</p>
<p>okay that's good news. thanks westow :)</p>
<p>Japan is fun, girlfriend is here visiting. I'm in good spirits.</p>
<p>Ari is happy. :)</p>
<p>Just apply for an american express Blue.... its 1 of the best 1s and the easiest 1 to be approved for and they gave me a 2000 credit limit right off the bat... OR u can also apply for the Citi Diamond Preffered , another good 1 (under Citi Bank)</p>
