Looks a good card for college student (see below). Unfortunately, I just graduated. I already have 4 citi cards (including citi shell and ATT card). Is there still possibility to get another one (I am not a heavy user.)
You must become a member and then sign into cardoffers.com to get the $33 signup bonus reported by FatsWalleter: Become a member and sign in at cardoffers.com, click Cash Rewards, and under Select by Category click Student. Then click Citi?mtvU?Platinum Select?Visa?Card for College Students .
In fact the $33 may be $43 for some, as there seems to be a $10 bonus for new cardoffers.com members. Sign up for online only statements and receive a $5 statement credit. (Might be dead - YMMV)
You cannot get this card if your total debt(clarification) on all your revolving credit lines is above $10,000. They will not care about the amount of income you have. -Rushnrockt
Categories that appear to qualify (among others) Entertainment - VIDEO ENTERTAINMENT RENTAL STORES Entertainment - MOTION PICTURE THEATERS Restaurants - EATING PLACE,RESTAURANT Restaurants - FAST FOOD RESTAURANTS Merchandise - BOOK STORES Merchandise - RECORD STORES
Note that some book stores (e.g. B&N online, TextbookX) do not qualify because they categorize themselves as "BOOKS, PERIODICALS, AND NEWSPAPERS" rather than "BOOK STORES".
Rewards Network/I-dine Cash Back rebates do not count against Restauarants Categories -- only 1TY/$1 not 5TY/$1.

I don't know if there is a limit on the number of cards you have, but I think there is a limit on your credit line. Over the years I've had several Citibank cards, all of which have been consolidated into one - their Platinum Dividend card. As the accounts are consolidated, all the credit was added to the one open account. When I applied for the mtvU card a month or two ago, they called and said I was approved, but I'd have to transfer some of the credit from the Dividend card to the mtvU card. Apparently I had reached the "limit". Might be the case for some of you as well.

I already reach the limit. I think it is around $20,000.
I need a CC but I can't decide whether the mtvu or citi platinum dividend is better. I mainly want to get free air miles and get a free trip. I was thinking about getting the CPD and then later apply for Delta Skymiles or the Citi "air miles" card. Another thing to consider is that the mtvu is fee free and Delta charges $75 on the second year. My budget is less than 7 k a year.

You have to pay for your transcripts? My university will print for free... I would assume that you would need the official, but you can call and ask. You need to send account number with transcript and a letter simply stating that you would like (insert amount based on GPA) points.
My school charges $6 for an official transcript (also, it takes like 3 weeks). We get our grades online, so perhaps I can just print out the webpage with them.
gerardkw2015 said:Just a FYI for those with this card (Citi mtvU) who would like to submit their transcripts - the address is below:
PO Box 6500 Sioux Falls, SD 57117 Attn: Account Maintenance
I had the hardest time getting that address. I was transferred three times and waited for probably 30 minutes.
Know if there is requirement on the classes that have to be on there? I took 2 classs over the summer and got a 4.0. Might be worth me digging it out to get them points.
