New credit cards

My wife and I have been talking about how our youngest son needs to get a couple of credit cards in his own name to start building his own credit history.  He’s in college, and will be turning twenty one soon.  We started researching VISA, MasterCard, American Express, Discover Credit Cards on the cardhub.com website to see what card would be the best card for him to apply for.  We found it interesting that on the left side of the website you could click in what kind of credit you have and then it would perform a wizard that showed you credit card offers that matched your credit.  We liked the informative articles about credit cards, too.  We’ll be telling our son to use that website himself to look at the offers and then we can discuss the choices with him before he makes a final decision.
