What is the best first time credit card for international travel?

Hi,


I am 19, a college student, and am going to Israel for 10 days this summer and I was thinking about getting a credit card for the trip. This will be my first credit card and I intend to pay the bill off after the trip is over. I was wondering if anyone could suggest a good first time credit card for international travel. Thanks|||You can try at your local bank, they usually offer credit cards. But since this is your first one you might have a little trouble getting approved. I would recommend a Secured Card. It means if you want a $500 credit line, you give them a $500 check and so on. This will secured the debt and you use it just like a regular credit card and in about 6-12 month you can apply for a regular credit card.|||Really makes no difference provided it is a Visa, Mastercard or American Express card. As a student, you will most likely not be able to get an Amex card, so pick either one of the others. You will have an issue getting any credit card without you parents co-signing for you.|||The supplier of college credit card requires the parent of the student to co-sign the college credit card application form as a guarantee. Moreover, the credit limit on college credit cards is generally around $500-$1000 per month, which is lower than what it is for other credit cards (this credit limit is generally sufficient to fulfil the typical needs of a student).
