<p>Has anyone had a problem with either the Office of financial aid or the office of admissions within the last week? I keep calling (within their business hours, as they wonderfully keep reminding me) yet I ALWAYS get a message. I refuse to beleive that they are THAT busy not to be able to pick up call each time I've called (around 6 times). I've left a message or two to no avail.</p>
<p>The problem is that I've been trying to get a credit card, but they need my college ID or tuition bill. Since obviously i don't have a tuition bill, I need my ID. Anyone have any suggestions as far as that is concerned?</p>
<p>Send an email to your admissions counselor; they're usually much more helpful.</p>
<p>i know that they wont give you your id until july anyway. i need one to buy a computer through the u store, but i wont be able to do that until july.</p>
<p>Keep your eye on dell coupons. Techbargains.com is a good place. Last year, we got a better deal with a coupon than through the campus store, using a coupon.</p>
<p>If you need a University ID to get a credit card, you are getting the wrong credit card.</p>
<p>Get an AmEx Blue Student, no student IDs or any proof needed, and the limit your debt to $2,000, so that you can never, ever owe them for than that.</p>

<p>No..there's no real problem. The credit card company just thought that I was already enrolled at the University. I called the company and I can just mail them a copy of my acceptance letter.</p>
<p>yeah but...american express sucks</p>
<p>AmEx is by far the best credit card to have. The one problem is that it is not as widely accepeted, but very few places don't take it. And a hanful of stores, like Costco, only take AmEx.</p>
<p>"The one problem is that it is not as widely accepeted"</p>
<p>which is why its not the best. It is a much much more business oriented card. For personal use, a Visa/Mastercard will be much much more usable.</p>
