Full Review:
Citi® Dividend® Card for College Students offers a 0% APR on purchases during the first 7 months, a nice way to defer payments on purchases you need to make right now. Combine that with cash back rewards, and this card is a smart choice. Just note that cash back rewards max out at $300 per year for typical purchases made with your card. The exception to this is cash back earned on purchases through the Citi Bonus Cash Center, which is not subject to the $300 calendar year maximum accumulation
