Trust Secured Visa essentially acts as a revolving line of credit. You submit a security deposit at the time of application, and, if approved, your deposit becomes your credit limit. You can then charge purchases to your card, get cash advances and make payments just like a typical unsecured credit card. The advantage of getting a secured card is that they are much easier to qualify for since the security deposit acts as collateral for the lender. You can qualify with no credit history or a bad credit score, and then use the card to build up a solid credit score over time. Your security deposit will be returned once you close your account and pay off your balance.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"pros-cons\"><button class=\"pros-cons__summary\" type=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"pros-cons__c1b6aafa-a3ce-4a45-9d32-6d8a6cc4bf97\">\n\t\t\tPros &amp; cons\n\t\t\t<svg class=\"luna-icon pros-cons__indicator\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><use href=\"#chevron-down\"><\/use><\/svg><\/button><div class=\"pros-cons__details\" id=\"pros-cons__c1b6aafa-a3ce-4a45-9d32-6d8a6cc4bf97\"><div><h4 class=\"pros-cons__heading\">Pros<\/h4><ul class=\"pros-cons__list pros-cons__list--pros\"><li class=\"pros-cons__list-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIf you pay an annual fee of $0 you'll be charged a purchase interest rate of 19.99%.

These cards often come with no annual fee, a low credit limit and a basic rewards program. Features between cards will vary, with some student cards offering a low interest rate on unpaid balances while others provide discounts for movies, dining or shopping. Most come with basic insurance like purchase protection and extended warranty, but won\u2019t offer added benefits like travel insurance.<\/p><p>Rewards across student cards vary, which means you can often choose between earning cash back or rewards points that you can use to pay down your balance, travel, shop, earn gift cards and more.<\/p><h4 id=\"benefits\"><strong>Special benefits for students<\/strong><\/h4><p>While not all student credit card are necessarily easier to be approved for, there are some special benefits offered that can make them more valuable to students.<\/p><ul class=\"list-7\"><li><strong>Student price discounts.<\/strong> Many student cards will offer additional money off or a percentage in cash back if you use the card at participating restaurants and merchants across Canada.<\/li><li><strong>Financial tools and advice. <\/strong> Most credit card companies offer information on how to get started building credit and what to consider for planning your finances.

Not every credit card with the \u201cstudent\u201d label is actually good for students. It\u2019s important to compare credit cards so that you choose the best student credit card to help you build better credit and not get into debt.<\/p><p>All credit cards come with certain features that affect the pricing and benefits of the credit card. Your goal with a student credit card is to pay as little as possible for the convenience of using the credit card. Here\u2019s what to look for as you choose the best student credit card.<\/p><ul class=\"list-1\"><li><strong style=\"font-size: medium;\">Low or no annual fee<\/strong>. It\u2019s common for student credit cards to have a small annual fee, so you don\u2019t have to rule out a card because it has a fee. Consider also that many student <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/ca\/credit-cards\/no-annual-fee-credit-cards\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">credit cards don\u2019t charge annual fees<\/a>. If you\u2019re wondering whether to apply for a student credit card that has a reasonable annual fee, consider the card\u2019s other features to decide if the card is worth the cost.<\/li><li><strong style=\"font-size: medium;\">Low APR<\/strong>. The APR, or annual percentage rate, affects the amount of interest you pay on balances that you carry from month to month. Your credit card will have a grace period during which you can pay your balance in full and avoid paying any interest. Any balance left unpaid after the grace period will be subject to interest charges based on the APR. The higher your APR, the higher your interest charges will be.<\/li><li><strong style=\"font-size: medium;\">Promotional APR<\/strong>. Some student credit cards offer an introductory promotional APR on purchases or balance transfers or both. During this promotional period, your balances will be subject to a lower APR. Many credit cards offer a 0% promotional rate, which means you\u2019ll pay no interest during the promotional period, even if you don\u2019t pay your balance in full.<\/li><li><strong style=\"font-size: medium;\">Rewards<\/strong>. Student <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/ca\/credit-cards\/rewards-credit-cards\">credit cards with rewards<\/a> pay cash, points, or miles on your purchases. When you evaluate the rewards on a student credit card, look for any limits on the amount of rewards you can earn or expiration on rewards. Ideally, you can accumulate an unlimited amount of rewards that do not expire.<\/li><li><strong style=\"font-size: medium;\">Signup bonus<\/strong>. Many student credit cards with rewards also offer a signup bonus that pays a lump sum of rewards if you make a certain amount of charges within the first few months of having the credit card. While signup bonuses are certainly attractive, you must consider whether you can meet the spending requirement without charging more than you can afford to pay back.<\/li><li><strong style=\"font-size: medium;\">Other perks<\/strong>. Some student credit cards may come with additional perks, like purchase protection and extended warranty, that make the credit card stand out from the rest. Consider these additional benefits with the other pricing and rewards features to choose the best card.<\/li><\/ul><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"luna-button luna-button--primary luna-button--fluid scroll\" role=\"button\" href=\"#compare\">Compare student credit card options<\/a><\/p><h3 id=\"college-info\"><strong>How to get a credit card as a college or university student<\/strong><\/h3><p>College and university students can get a credit card with a steady source of income or by getting someone to cosign. Getting an on-campus job or part-time job can prove to lenders that you can pay off your credit card balance without any problems. You can often list scholarship money as a source of income too.<\/p><p>College and university credit cards are a great introduction to the world of finances and credit, but it can be difficult to find the right one. For students who want to start building up their credit, once you hit the 18 age mark, more options will open up for you.<\/p><p><a class=\"more-link-arrow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/ca\/credit-cards\/student-credit-cards\/credit-card-guide-under-21-users\">Credit card options for young adults<\/a><\/p><h4>Secured credit cards vs. unsecured student credit cards<\/h4><p>Secured credit cards are another good option for college and university students. You typically don\u2019t need any credit history to apply for a secured credit card, which is why they\u2019re perfect first-time cards for students. Secured credit cards require a deposit that acts as your spending limit and backs your credit card as collateral for lenders in case you can\u2019t pay back your card. Your card could also graduate when you do \u2014 some secured cards can be upgraded to unsecured cards when your credit score is high enough.<\/p><p>If you can\u2019t qualify for a student credit card or want a lower spending limit, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/ca\/credit-cards\/secured-credit-cards\">a secured credit card<\/a> is a good option for college and university students.<\/p><article class=\"luna-card luna-card--shadow\"><div class=\"luna-card__block\"><h3 id=\"info\"><strong>Can I get a credit card as a high school student?<\/strong><\/h3><p>While you must be at least 18 or 19 years old to have your own credit card, it\u2019s still possible to get access to a credit card as a teenager. One common way to get access to a credit card as a high school student is to become an authorized user on someone else\u2019s credit card, which involves a family member or friend adding you to their credit card account. As an authorized user, you are not financially responsible for the debt and your use of the card might not affect your credit history.<\/p><p>Getting an early start on building your credit rating is an excellent way to set yourself up for financial success. Having a good credit score can open a lot of doors once you graduate high school, such as apartment and car loan approval, lower insurance rates and better credit cards with more benefits.<\/p><p><a class=\"more-link-arrow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/ca\/credit-cards\/credit-card-options-teens\">Credit card options for teens under 18 years old<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/article><h3 id=\"fees\"><strong>What fees come with student credit cards?<\/strong><\/h3><p>Besides any annual fee, most other student credit card fees are avoidable. Knowing which fees your credit card charges can help you use your credit card in a way that minimizes the fees you pay.<\/p><h4>Late payment fee<\/h4><p>A late fee is charged to your account whenever you fail to make at least the minimum payment by the due date. A late payment can also trigger your APR to increase.<\/p><h4>Returned payment fee<\/h4><p>If your bank returns your credit card payment, for example, because you don\u2019t have sufficient funds in your account or your bank account is closed, your credit card issuer will charge a returned payment fee. You can avoid a returned payment fee by making sure you\u2019re paying from the right bank account and that you have enough funds in your account to cover the payment.<\/p><h4>Balance transfer fee<\/h4><p>A balance transfer is a type of transaction where you move the balance of one credit card to another credit card. Most credit cards charge a fee of about 3% for transferring your balance. Because the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/ca\/credit-cards\/balance-transfer-credit-cards\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">balance transfer fee<\/a> is a percentage of the balance transfer amount, you pay more when you transfer larger balances.<\/p><h4>Cash advance fee<\/h4><p>Your student credit card may give you the ability to withdraw cash from an ATM. In addition to paying an ATM fee, you\u2019ll also have to pay a cash advance fee that\u2019s a percentage of the amount of the withdrawal. Some student credit cards will also charge a fee for cash equivalent transactions, which include purchasing a money order or using your credit card for a wire transfer.<\/p><h4>Foreign transaction fee<\/h4><p>Using your credit card to make purchases in a foreign currency or with a company that uses a foreign credit card processor will often result in a foreign transaction fee. You might be charged this fee if you use your credit card while traveling internationally or you place an online order with a company that\u2019s not located in Canada. The foreign transaction fee is often <a title=\"No Foreign Transaction Fee Credit Cards\" href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/ca\/credit-cards\/no-foreign-transaction-fee-credit-cards\">2.5% of the amount of the transaction<\/a>.<\/p><h4>Over-the-limit fee<\/h4><p>Similar to an overdraft fee on a debit card, some student credit cards may charge a fee when your balance exceeds the credit limit. For credit card issuers to charge this fee, you must have first opted into having over-the-limit transactions processed. If your credit card issuer charges an over-the-limit fee, you can avoid it by opting out of over-the-limit transactions. You can also avoid the fee by checking your credit card balance frequently to be sure new purchases won\u2019t put you over the limit.<\/p><h3 id=\"best\"><strong>4 tips to help you use your student credit card responsibly<\/strong><\/h3><p>Using a student credit card the right way can help you build a good credit score and avoid getting into the cycle of credit card debt. Here are some tips on how you should use a student credit card. Remember, the credit card habits you establish now will make a difference in your credit for years to come.<\/p><ol><li><strong style=\"font-size: medium;\">Charge only a small amount to your credit card each month<\/strong>. Your student credit card will have a credit limit, which is the maximum amount your credit card issuer allows you to charge on the credit card. You should never charge the full credit limit no matter how large it is. That\u2019s because your credit score benefits you when you only use a small amount of the credit available to you. This proves to lenders that you handle your spending limits responsibly. Charging a small amount also protects you from getting into debt.<\/li><li><strong style=\"font-size: medium;\">Pay your balance on time and in full each month<\/strong>. Your credit card issuer will charge a late fee if you don\u2019t make at least the minimum payment on your credit card by the due date. Paying your balance in full isn\u2019t required on a student credit card, but it\u2019s a good habit to stay out of debt and build a good credit score. Forcing yourself to pay in full will help you keep your credit card purchases at a level that you can afford.<\/li><li><strong style=\"font-size: medium;\">Avoid loaning your card to friends<\/strong>. Loaning your credit card to someone isn\u2019t like loaning them $20 cash. Your credit card holds far more purchasing power and there\u2019s always the chance that your friend will spend more on your credit card than you agreed to. You\u2019re ultimately responsible for purchases made on your credit card.<\/li><li><strong>Understand fees. <\/strong> Before missing a payment or making a cash withdrawal, understand the extra costs. You\u2019ll be able to make better decisions if you know how much it will cost you.<\/li><\/ol><h3 id=\"mistakes\"><strong>Mistakes to avoid with student credit cards<\/strong><\/h3><p>When you\u2019re starting out with credit cards, you want to set yourself up for success. That means avoiding critical mistakes when you\u2019re using a student credit card.<\/p><ul class=\"list-3\"><li><strong style=\"font-size: medium;\">Getting too many cards<\/strong>. After you\u2019re approved for the first student credit card, you may be tempted to apply for additional credit cards to raise your purchasing power. However, the more credit cards you have, the greater potential to get into debt. Multiple credit cards means multiple monthly credit card payments to manage. To start, getting just one student credit card is the best option for most young adults.<\/li><li><strong style=\"font-size: medium;\">Applying without a reliable source of income<\/strong>. You can\u2019t expect to be able to make your monthly payment without a regular source of income, e.g. money you earn from a job. Without the funds to pay your credit card balances, you risk falling behind on your payments and hurting your credit score.<\/li><\/ul><p>Worried making a mistake with your student credit card will ruin your credit score? Don\u2019t be. Chances are your credit card company can fix small mistakes for you. Call your bank and ask them to waive the annual fee. If you missed your payment this month, show your bank you can pay it off now and ask them to remove any interest charges. If your bank hasn\u2019t increased your credit limit in the last year and you always make full payments, ask them to increase your limit. This will improve your credit score and help you increase your borrowing limits over time.<\/p><h3>5 tips for earning reward points with your student credit card<\/h3><ol><li><strong>Pay an annual fee.<\/strong> You\u2019ll typically get a much higher return on your rewards points if you pay an annual fee. A mid-range fee is around $40 to $99 per year.<\/li><li><strong>Search for a signup bonus.<\/strong> Some cards offer a signup bonus when you apply for the card, which entitles you to bonus points or a higher rate of cash back. You\u2019ll usually need to spend over a certain amount in your first few months to receive the signup bonus.<\/li><li><strong>Take advantage of referral programs.<\/strong> You might be able to lock in extra rewards by pointing other students towards your credit card.<\/li><li><strong>Look for accelerated rewards.<\/strong> Earn more points or cash back when you sign up for a card that offers you a higher return on certain categories of purchases (like gas, groceries, dining or entertainment).<\/li><li><strong>Pay your tuition on your credit card.<\/strong> If you\u2019re one of the lucky ones and your institution allows it, you can earn extra points by paying your tuition on your card. Just be sure to pay the balance off immediately with savings or your student loan.<\/li><\/ol><h3 id=\"compare\">Compare credit cards you can apply for as a student<\/h3><p>Students looking for a solid way to earn rewards and build up their credit history are most likely to benefit from student credit cards. Alternatively, if you just need a convenient way to pay with plastic, you can consider getting a prepaid card. In the tables below you can browse through your credit card and prepaid card options.

loading=\"lazy\">Post-secondary student credit card debt is fairly common. In fact, according to the 2018 Canadian University Survey Consortium Graduating Student Survey, university students have an average of $2,771 in credit card debt and 21% of students with a credit card don\u2019t pay off their balance each month.<\/p><p>Clearing your balance may seem overwhelming, especially when you need to focus on academics. But by following these 3 simple steps you can take control of your student credit card debt:<\/p><h4 id=\"bottom\">Step 1: Evaluate your credit card debt<\/h4><p>Visually map out your debt. List the following in a spreadsheet or on paper:<\/p><ul class=\"list-7\"><li>Name the credit card provider or providers your debt is with.<\/li><li>Put down how much money you owe on each card.<\/li><li>Put down the interest rate charged for each card.<\/li><li>Approximate the minimum monthly payment (from your payment history) and due date for each payment for each card.<\/li><\/ul><p>Now that you know exactly how much you owe and when your payments are due, you can start figuring out how to tackle your debt.<\/p><h4>Step 2: Decide on a strategy to eliminate your debt<\/h4><p>There are several strategies to clearing debt, and the right one will depend on factors like your level of debt and how fast you want to pay off your balance. <strong>Click through the tabs below<\/strong> to find a few tried-and-true strategies.<\/p><ul class=\"nav nav-tabs pb-tabs\"><li class=\"active\"><a href=\"#tab6480\" data-toggle=\"tab\">Snowball method<\/a><\/li><li class=\"\"><a href=\"#tab6158\" data-toggle=\"tab\">Debt avalanche method<\/a><\/li><li class=\"\"><a href=\"#tab6028\" data-toggle=\"tab\">Balance transfer credit card<\/a><\/li><\/ul><div class=\"tab-content \"><div id=\"tab6480\" class=\"tab-pane active \"><strong>Snowball method<\/strong><br>With the snowball method, you\u2019ll pay off your credit cards beginning with the smallest amount of debt first. After that, pay off the card with the next-smallest debt, and so on until all debts are cleared. The idea behind this strategy is the physiological satisfaction you get from quicker \u201cwins\u201d \u2013 you\u2019ll become more motivated to tackle your debt each time you completely pay off a card. By paying off the smallest debit first, you get that reward quicker. It\u2019s not the method to use if you want to pay the lowest possible interest over time, but it can be helpful if you need the psychological boost.<\/div><div id=\"tab6158\" class=\"tab-pane \"><strong>Debt avalanche method<\/strong><br>With this method, you pay off the credit card with the highest interest rate first. The goal of this method is to prevent you from paying more accumulated interest over time than you need to. For example, if you have one credit card with a 17% interest rate and another with a 22% interest rate you pay off the latter card first regardless of the balance amounts on the cards. While you might not get the same quick \u201cwins\u201d as you would with the snowball method, you will pay less interest over the long run.<\/div><div id=\"tab6028\" class=\"tab-pane \"><strong>Balance transfer credit card<\/strong><br>You could <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/ca\/credit-cards\/balance-transfer-credit-cards\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">transfer your debt to a balance transfer credit card<\/a>, then pay off your entire balance before your intro APR rate expires. A balance transfer card comes with a low intro APR period on balance transfers. This strategy is typically a better choice if you have a relatively small amount of debt. Keep in mind that, for every transfer you make, there will likely be a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/ca\/credit-cards\/balance-transfer-credit-cards\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">balance transfer fee<\/a>. If you have multiple balances, you also might need a higher credit card limit than if you were just transferring just one balance.<\/div><\/div><h4>Step 3: Calculate monthly payments to clear your debt<\/h4><p>Now that you see the big picture about your debt, figure out how much you should pay toward your balance each month. To do so, you\u2019ll want to calculate the following:<\/p><ul class=\"list-1\"><li><strong>Your minimum interest payment.<\/strong> The annual percentage rate (APR) reflects the amount of interest you\u2019ll pay over an entire year. To determine this amount, divide your APR by the number of days in a year, then multiply the result by your balance. Take this figure and multiply it by the number of days in your current billing cycle. This is your monthly interest payment.<\/li><li><strong>How many months it\u2019ll take to pay off your balance making interest-only payments. <\/strong>Divide your balance by the monthly interest payment you calculated above to find out how many months it\u2019ll take to pay off your credit card.<\/li><li><strong>How many months it\u2019ll take to pay off your balance making interest + principal payments.<\/strong> This is where you can test different debt repayment schemes to find one that fits your goals. Decide how much you\u2019re willing to pay beyond your the minimum payment amount and recalculate how many months it\u2019ll take to bring the balance to zero. Alternatively, decide when you want the balance paid off and calculate backwards to the monthly payment you\u2019d have to make in order to meet this deadline.<\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/article><h3 id=\"faq\">Student credit card FAQs<\/h3><ul class=\"luna-accordionGroup accordionGroup\">\n\t<li class=\"luna-accordion\" data-accordion=\"accordion\">\n    <div class=\"luna-accordion__summary\">\n        <h4 class=\"luna-accordion__heading\">\n            <button class=\"luna-accordion__action collapsed\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"faq-builder-0000000009\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-target=\"#faq-builder-0000000009\">\n                <span class=\"luna-accordion__title\">Will I pay interest on my card balance?<\/span>\n                <svg class=\"luna-icon\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n                    <use xlink:href=\"#chevron-down\" data-accordion-icon=\"show\"><\/use>\n                    <use xlink:href=\"#chevron-up\" data-accordion-icon=\"hide\" class=\"is-hidden\"><\/use>\n                <\/svg>\n            <\/button>\n        <\/h4>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"luna-accordion__details collapse\" aria-hidden=\"true\" id=\"faq-builder-0000000009\" data-accordion=\"details\">\n        <div class=\"accordionContent\">\n            <div>\n                <p>Most student credit cards charge the standard APR of 19.99% to 22.99%.

As you get more experience with your credit card and are able to afford another credit card, you can consider getting an additional credit card. For most students, one credit card is best until after graduation.\r\r"}},{"@type":"Question","name":"What's the best way to build my credit with a student credit card?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"\r\rMaking your payments on time each month is one of the key ingredients to a great credit score. The second best thing you can do to build your credit is to keep your balance low. Charging only what you can afford and building strong payment habits will improve your credit score and help you qualify for better credit cards in the future.\r\r"}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Why should I care about building a credit history?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"\r\rWhen you're finished school, you may want to apply for a car loan, a mortgage or even a better credit card. For these types of loans or credit, providers will typically do a credit check to figure out how likely you are to repay the money you borrow.\r\rOne of the common factors in credit scores is the length of time you've had various lines of credit, so using a student credit card responsibly can help you build up the credit you need to qualify for larger loans in the future. In addition, paying off your balances on time and actually using your credit lines can help you build up your credit history.\r\r"}},{"@type":"Question","name":"What happens if I can't make my credit card payments?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"\r\rWhen you miss a payment, your credit card issuer will charge a late fee to your account. After a few days, you'll begin receiving phone calls reminding you to make the payment. If you catch up before your next due date comes, your credit is safe. However, if you don't make the payment, the consequences become more severe. Your next required credit card payment will include the previously missed payment, the late fee, and the current month's minimum payment.\r\rAfter your payment is 30 days past due, a notice goes on your credit report and your credit score may be impacted. Your interest rate will also increase to the penalty rate and your finance charges will likely increase. Your credit card issuer may suspend your spending privileges. You'll continue to be charged a late fee each month you're late and your minimum payment to catch up will increase.\r\rAfter your payments are 180 days, or 6 months, past due, your account balance is charged-off, your account is closed, and the account balance may be pursued by a third-party collection agency.\r\rIf you're having trouble making your credit card payments, contact your credit card issuer right away to work out a payment arrangement. Working with your creditor can save your account and your credit history.\r\r"}}]}]},"article_modified_time":"2022-08-22T16:27:52+00:00"},"custom_fields":{"_wp_page_template":["page-masthead-two-column.php"],"show_author_box":["yes"],"_content_type":["niche-content\/recommendation\/best-guide"],"_masthead_variant":["{\"id\":\"standard-image\",\"showFeaturedImage\":false,\"presetId\":\"\",\"shouldUsePrimaryCTAFieldName\":false,\"shouldUseSecondaryCTAFieldName\":false,\"primaryCTA\":null,\"secondaryCTA\":null,\"widgetShortcode\":\"\",\"widgetHeading\":\"\",\"widgetStats\":\"\",\"hasPrioritizedWidget\":false,\"hasMaximizedWidget\":false,\"shouldUseOverrideCTALabel\":false,\"overrideCTA\":null,\"cleanTopPicks\":\"\",\"tilesMenuId\":\"\"}"],"_masthead_subheading":["{\"text\":\"A student credit card is the best option for college and university students who want to build a credit history.\"}"]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/724111"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/385"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=724111"}],"version-history":[{"count":17,"href":"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/724111\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1072578,"href":"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/724111\/revisions\/1072578"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/15"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/734300"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=724111"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=724111"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
