FAQ
What happens to my Discover student card when I graduate?
After you graduate from college, your student credit card will become a standard credit card. You’ll keep the same cash back program and card design. And you may qualify for a credit line increase to handle expenses more easily after school.
Do Discover student credit cards build credit?
When used responsibly, Discover student credit cards are a great way to build credit while earning cash back rewards on every purchase. That’s because Discover reports your credit history to the three major credit bureaus so it can help build your credit if used responsibly. Late payments, delinquencies or other derogatory activity with your other credit card accounts and loans may adversely impact your ability to build credit. So be sure to make smart choices with your student credit card, like always making at least your minimum payment or more on time.
How do you avoid paying interest on a credit card?
Credit cards for college students work best when you make purchases you’re sure you can pay off. In fact, you can avoid paying interest on student credit card purchases entirely by paying off your entire student card balance due on your monthly statement in full and on time every month. You’ll still enjoy all your rewards and other student card benefits without paying interest charges. Note you will pay interest if you take any balance transfers or cash advances.
