Everyday student spending
First credit card rewards
Flat-rate cash back
Yes, for the right student. If you want a no-annual-fee card that keeps things easy, 1.5% cash back on everything is a clean setup that works well when your spending is spread across lots of small categories. The welcome bonus is also reachable for many students, since it only requires $300 in purchases in the first 3 months.
This card is less compelling if you already have strong credit and are comparing across the broader market, because some no-annual-fee cards offer higher flat-rate rewards or bonus categories. It also is not a card to carry a balance on, given the standard student-card APR range. For a student who values simplicity over optimization, though, this is an easy card to use and understand.
Quicksilver Rewards for Students is a good fit for students who want uncomplicated cash back on everyday purchases and a card they can keep using without much thought. Its main limitation is that the rewards rate is solid but not especially high if you are willing to manage more specialized cards.
$100 after you spend $300 on purchases on your new card in your first 3 months of card membership.
