Flinging Rants To See If They'll Stick

Depending on the value of Many, how could she have had a better credit rating than before she got the card at age Many, huh huh huh mam ma'am?

The credit gets reported, despite us not being able to see it until she turned "adult" age.  So, she had a credit rating in the mid 700's before she even graduated high school.  The majority of her friends had no credit rating.  When we went into the bank to show her university acceptance letter and ensure her banking was set to a fee free student portfolio, they gave her her own credit card with a reasonable limit, minimal questions asked.  

 

I will need to get another card soon so I can do the same for Kid2 and preferentially one without international transaction fees because it works well to have an attached account to Apple Pay if you're travelling and need to pay for transit.  When we were in Europe a couple of years ago, it was super slick for riding the train in London and Milan.  Paris still has tickets (ridiculous much?) and Amsterdam - you could get an all day pass.  Not as slick as London and Milan, but still better than Paris!
