As a student could I stooze?

What's the best credit card deal out there that I could use to stooze? I'm a full time student with no job, but I make nearly 20k/year (after taxes) from working at my hobby.

Thanks

    Depends if you have an alarm clock TBH.

    stooze NOT snooze... :cool:

    20k pa from hobby is something I'd dream of ;-) whatever that hobby is, hats off to you for achieving it.;)

    As for stoozing, I'm afraid I stop with just being content with the cashback/vouchers and settle bills in full so I hope other stoozers may be able to advice you on that.

    btb, have a look at stoozing dot com too.

    I'm confused... anyone can stooze, whether you're a student, unemployed or a homeless hobo. If you've got a credit card with 0% on super balance transfers, with a sizeable limit, then you can do what you want with it.

    A card such as the Virgin card could be used.. just tell them your a student rather than unemployed and state your income. They'll probably question how a student is able to get 20k. Although I wouldn't tell them you earn that from your "hobby" as that could look suspicious and you don't want them thinking you're pimping out Nigerian women to American businessmen. Could you register as self-employed and have a proper business name (if you don't already)?

    Yah, stoozing is just transferring money from a credit card interest free and sticking it in a savings account to make a profit. :p

    I thought that because I am unemployed I would be flat out rejected if I applied for any credit card.

    i would try applying for it and rather than saying that you are unemployed or a student, i'd say you were self employed.

    But I'm not, I'm a student. I thought lying on one of those applications were constitute fraud?
