Page 12 Thursday, October 7, 1993 TCU DAILY SKIFF The Economics of the Citibank Classic Visa card. How Student Discounts and Price Protection Contribute tO 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. Its this last one, however, that affects most students. H The Citibank Classic Visa card offers immediate savings to student cardmembers. You can save up to 26% on long distance calls versus AT&T with the free Citibank Calling Service from MCI.1 And you can capitalize on a $20 Airfare Discount for domestic flights.2 Savings on mail order pur- chases, sports equipment, magazines and music also abound. Maximize these savings with a low variable interest rate of 15.4%3 and no annual fee, and you can significantly improve your personal \T*rn TMin*? bottom line (especially if one's net income tends So known picture <>i Washington uniting exists Economists believe Washington HOI unhappx bet ause he felt he < ould have received a better (teal on war supplies If he used a (ttihank ('lassie I tsa card, he would have been assured of getting the best price and probably to be pretty gross).

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 dowaswing in a market. 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. H To apply, call. Students don't need a job or a cosigner. And call if you'd simply like your photo added to your regular Citibank Classic Visa card. Here's the num- ber: 1-800-CITIBANK, extension 19. H The Law of Student CITIBANK* Supply and Demand states, "If a credit card satisfies more of a CLASSIC student's unlimited wants and needs, while reducing the Risk ^128 0012 345b 18S0 Factor in respect to limited and often scarce resources—with 06/93 0S/5I/9S CV LINDA WALKER the greatest supply of services and savings possible—then stu- ■*SSJ 92 dents will demand said credit card." So, demand away—call. Not just Visa. Citibank Visa.
