Question

No compare sites please

Answer 1

Don't get a credit card, they are completely stupid.  Read Dave Ramsey's "Total Money Makeover"

Answer 2

The answer depends on your credit history. If it's good, check out,

Citi Driver's Edge: 6% cash back on gas for the first 12 months, 3% after 12 months is up.

If you're a student,

Citi mtvU: gives points for things like good grades and paying your bill on time, plus each purchase earns points (1-5, depending on where). They have a good selection of rewards.

This is not a compare site. It is a forum, with discussions on the offers in each link and is a very good resource.

Answer 3

forget the rewards. you are paying for them indirectly. concentrate on building a good credit score. use the card. pay off the balance monthly. if you can't pay off the balance stop using the card.

Answer 4

None even though you get good rewards they still put you in a lot of debit. wait until your at least 25 because you should have a well paying job at 25.
