Best Credit Card for a Student

Post by TJKansai »

What experience/recommendations do you have for someone who is a full-time student with just a bit of part-time income?

There are a bunch on this site:

Mitsui and JCB seem to be preferred.
AMEX is free until age 26.

And then there is Aeon, Rakuten etc.

Good question and I am also interested in good suggestions.
I was thinking about just a SONY Bank account and a debit card as a first step for our eldest.

With very limited/no income is it easy to get a credit card for a youngster?
Aiming to retire at 60 and live for a while longer. 95% index funds (eMaxis Slim etc), 5% Japanese dividend stocks.

JAL Club EST for sure. You get to use the Sakura lounge and 5 years expiration limit on your miles!
