Pros

Cardholders of BankAmericard Cash Rewards Card for Students can earn 3% cash back on gas and 2% at grocery stores and wholesale clubs for the first $2,500 spent per quarter, plus 1% cash back on the other purchases. Moreover, if you make $500 or more purchases in the first 90 days, you will be given $150 online cash rewards bonus. Every time you redeem cash back into your Bank of America® checking or savings account, you will get a 10% customer bonus. There's no annual fee and no expiration on rewards.

Cons

It charges a 29.99 percent penalty APR and a $37 late payment fee whenever cardholders miss a payment. Also, the 13.99% - 23.99% APR range is relatively high compared to other cards.

Summary

For cash-strapped students, this BankAmericard Cash Rewards card will definitely be a lifesaver with its large percent cash back rewards. But it's not a good choice for people carrying a big balance.
