2/19    Should I get a Platinum Visa from First USA?  -- cm1ee

           "platinum" card won't help your rating more than any gold card.
        \_ Checks that are charged to your card are useful.  Also, my

        That's strange.  My dad got a B of A credit card in 1980 when he
        didn't have an SSN and was on a work visa in the Bay Area.  Today he
        still doesn't have an SSN and is still using the card overseas
        regularly.
