I just got my first one this year. Should I get another one? There's a Discover for students, 0% intro APR on purchases for 6 months.

My current credit card (Citi) is in good standing. I've been paying triple the min. balance.

I would say that if you are still a student, 1 is plenty.

Don't get caught up in the hype. Keep the one you have, and pay ALL the balance every month if possible.

The longer you have it and the better your payment history, the better your credit will become.

I have the card for 3 months. I rarely use it since I usually use my debit card.

Thanks for the advice.

I would wait until having your current account in good standing for at least a year. You will be able to get better offers at that point, too, especially if there aren't a lot of inquiries to your credit report.

No, I would not apply for another credit card at this time.
