MTV Offers Rewards for Students
Born August 1, 1981 MTV is older than most of you. Sadly I was around and remember when it launched. The early 80′s were a fun time; a time devoid of blackberries (except the ones you ate), where a text message consisted of writing a word on a piece of paper and holding it up to your buddy. Heck, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg hadn’t even been born yet. But things change.
MTV had the vision and foresight to move away from the music television format, which made them so popular, to focus on pop culture and reality shows. Today they are a global powerhouse broadcasting in 166 countries and in 18 different languages. They have proven to be one step ahead of the curve, which is why when they moved into the world of credit cards you knew it would be special.
The Citi® mtvUâ„¢ card issued by Citibank, is a credit card designed specifically for students and offers a unique rewards program for using credit wisely and receiving good grades. Twice per year, anywhere between 250 and 2,000 points may be awarded dependent on the student’s GPA (beginning at 2.5). These points can be redeemed for gift cards, CDs, a VIP mtvU Spring Break Pass, tickets to the MTV Video Music Awards, and even airline tickets. Below is the full complement of benefits this card has to offer!

thats soooooooooo cool
Is there supposed to be a points code for reading this?
thats goog news
sweet :]
I wonder what kind of gift cards they will offer. It would be nice if they would list those out as I can’t see myself using the points for travel, etc.
Maybe music, but I like my stuff in cd format, thanks.
I love that it gives you points for a good GPA! Talk about incentives!
That is awesome!
I always cried about not getting payed to go to school and get good grades (other than scholarships of course, since in that case, you would be competing among other students for the same prize). This is finally one of the best creations since text-messaging.
Nice
great idea
this is so cool!
I love this i can actually earn points !!!!!!!!!
so do i earn points by reading this message?
I have been taking dual enrollment courses and my gpa is 3.62 as of now, but I don’t have any established credit. Do I still qualify.
nice
This card was nice before. I just realized they start charging interest on the very day I use credit card. I guess they already send information to users. No annual fee still, but be aware the finance charge you get every month. I still have it but stopped using it. After 5 years, it will expire anyway, I don’t want to hurt my credit score by calling to cancel.
