Ladybug, our son away at college also has one. He sends me the receipts so I can be certain of the charges when the bill arrives.

He'll get the credit card when he graduates. Woohoo! Then he can pay the bill.

Next year I'll be doing this for two more kids. Egads.

Do you ladies charge tuitions? Instead of paying the college, we charge their tuition with our US Air credit card, then pay the bank at the end of the month. We really rack up the air miles. Then we fly free. Our son is 9-10 miles from home so the free air fare helps tremendously.

Patty, my 20 year-old received two credit card applications in the mail yesterday. I ripped them in half like I do with all the rest.
