Under normal circumstances, college students cannot apply for credit cards.
However, individual regions have different policies. It is recommended to consult the local branches or sub-branches of the Agricultural Bank of China (Preferential Card for College Students), ICBC (Peony Card for College Students), and China Construction Bank (Championship Football Card) to learn about local policies.
In addition, if the university you are studying at is a 211 or a well-known domestic university, you can check the credit card list on the official website of CCB to see if you have a CCB prestigious school card. If so, you can also apply for it at a local branch.
If you only need to use the pre-authorization function of a credit card in your name for car rental or hotel check-in, you can consider a no-limit credit card like CITIC Blue Card, which you can save first and then use.
It should be noted that college students can apply for credit cards immediately, and the limit is generally less than 1,000 yuan. If you need to pay a large amount, it is recommended to ask your parents to apply for a primary card, and then apply for a secondary card for yourself.
Final reminder: Credit cards must be repaid in a timely manner to avoid negative records in the personal credit system, which may affect future credit business approvals or even employer employment.
