! The Economics of the Citibank Classic Visa card. How no annual fee, student discounts and Price Protection create upward growth. A variety of factors have been suggested as contributing to the economic growth of students, including (1) more lottery winners between the ages of 18 and 22, (2) a 37% increase on earnings from bottle and can returns, (3) more students doubling earnings in the lightning round of game shows, and (4) the Citibank Classic Visa- card. It's this last one, however, that affects most students. H The Citibank Classic Visa card offers immediate savings to student cardmembers. You can now receive the Citibank Classic card with No Annual Fee. You can capitalize on a $20 Airfare Discount for domestic flights,1 a low variable interest rate of 15.4%; as well as savings on mail order purchases, sports equipment, music and magazines. One might even have enough savings to reinvest in a CD or two (the musical kind, of course). H On the way to the record

Carrying it can help prevent fraud or any hostile takeover of your card. (Insiders speculate that it makes quite a good student ID, too.) Even if one's card is stolen, or perhaps lost, The Lost Wallet- Service can replace your card usually within 24 hours. H So never panic. As we all know panic, such as in the Great Panics of 1837,1857 and 1929 can cause a downswing in a market. 16 But with 24-hour Customer Service, there's no reason for it. A question about your account is only an 800 number away. (Panic of the sort experienced the night before Finals is something else again.) 1 Needless to say, building a credit history with the support of such services can only be a boost. You're investing in futures-that future house, that future car, etc. And knowing the Citibank Classic Visa card is there in your wallet should presently give you a sense of security, rare in today's-how shall we say?-fickle market. 1 To apply, call.

So, demand away—call. Not just Visa. Citibank Visa.
