Find the right student credit card for you
Rewards
If you like the idea of using rewards to redeem for travel, gift cards, merchandise and more, go with a card that helps you earn points. Plus, you can collect extra points when you spend on certain categories. If you prefer to get a percentage of your spending back, go with a cash back card.
Annual fees
Some of our credit cards come with a low annual fee but consider the card’s value. It may be worth paying the annual fee if you'll earn enough rewards and perks to more than make up for the cost.
Interest rates
If you think you’ll carry a balance every month, go with a card with a lower interest rate. If you get paid regularly and can pay off your balance in full, you may be able to manage a higher interest rate and earn rewards.
Welcome offers
Welcome offers can help you get extra value for your card. Depending on the promotion, you could earn more travel points, cash back or savings on rates and fees. Make sure you review and understand the terms so you can take advantage of the offer.
Benefits of CIBC student credit cards
Build your credit score
Using a student credit card responsibly is a great way to build your credit score. A good credit history is important, especially if you want to make major purchases, like buying a car or home after you graduate.
Access more cash flow
If you’re short on cash, a credit card is a convenient way to hold you over until your pay cheque comes in. Just make sure you can pay back what you spend in full.
Enjoy reward points
Get rewarded every time you use your card. Whether you like earning points or getting cash back, choose the credit card that suits your lifestyle while you’re in school.
