I currently use this visa card, it has a nice limit and a low interest rate. It has no annual fees, and free online management. It also has cash back rewards. Wells Fargo is a great bank and is one of the few not affected by the closing of the other lending companies.

I got this card my freshman year in college and have been very happy with it. At one point someone gained access to my account that did not have permission to do so and the customer service at Wells Fargo was very helpful in preventing any damage to my credit.

I started off with this card from Wells Fargo when I was first out of high school, and never changed it or the account. Any time I had big purchases made on the account or unusual activity, I was contacted right away to avoid fraud. The customer service with the Wells Fargo cards has always been great, and I plan on sticking with this card even though I'm no longer in college.
