As some credit card issuers are using many different types of rewards to entice current cardholders to use their cards during the holiday season, some issuers are using extra rewards to gain new cardholders instead. One of those issuers is Citi Bank, and they are hoping to get the attention of college students looking for some plastic with a limited time offer that is running now through January 15, 2009. 

 

With this limited time promotion, college students who are approved for either the Citi® mtvU™ Platinum Select® Visa® Card for College Students or the Citi® Forward Card for College Students have the ability to earn reward points for a $25 Gift Card and more. For both student credit card offers there is great opportunity to earn up to an additional 3,600 bonus points just for paying your bill on time and staying under your credit limit.

 

So is getting a new credit card a priority for college students? Well, it really depends on who you ask. This is because while getting a new student credit offer during this holiday season is on the mind of some college students, many others could just be waiting until February when the CARD Act has been fully implemented, or may not get a credit card at all.
