DS had a prepaid card, but now he's 19 it would be useful for him to be able to have a credit card as an extra thing to cover unexpected expenses etc.
He put in an application for a Student Card from Halifax but got turned down.
Does anyone have experience of a student getting a credit card, or could suggest where might be more likely to give him one? It doens't matter if it quite a low credit limit, as the plan is for it to be really used for the occasional emergency (though he might keep it 'ticking over' with other things during the month, then pay it off)
TIA.
