Cap1. Opened with a $500 CL when I was 16. 13 years and hundreds of thousands of dollars of CL later, that Cap1 CL is still $500.

BofA student CC. $900 CL.
When I did it about 8 yrs ago, I was told that the BofA on the cnr of Kingston and EP had an "understanding" with 770 bochurim and they would issue a student credit card together with student checking and savings all with no fees, without making any issues, v'kach haveh.

No idea why I was approved for the CC. Had zero credit history, and it was not a secured card. But B"H the history I accumulated with that card allowed me to jump right in the deep end about five yrs later when I got my first whiff of DDF.

I dont think that cards get closed for inactivity. IIRC, i moved once, and they maile me a new card, since the old card expired, to my old adress, that was never 'activated' but the account was still open.
