Play at .5/1 or go do some blackjack bonuses and get another 1k in a week, then start working some poker bonuses.

Don't use a credit card in college. Having credit card debt at a young age can devistate your financial future.

Credit cards don't have yearly fees. Charge cards do. Additionally, don't try to increase your limit too much. I've heard that a large limit (over 10k) sends a flag up at times. I don't spend more than $5000 a month, so that's what I have my limit set to. When I got a new card they wanted to give me a 10k limit and I told them to put it at 5k instead.

Derk, you're wrong: there are a large class of credit cards that have fees: they're usually points, platinum, or 'miles' cards, or cards that you can pay to have a lower interest rate. A high limit on your card does NOT send up flags...and it's not as easy as making a phone call and them just doing it...they don't raise your limit unless you make enough (or at least you tell them that you do) to cover it. If you make less than 30k/year, they won't raise it to 10k. It's VERY rare for them to offer a 10k limit right off, unless they're replacing one you already have, or through the same company.
