I am not sure if it's true. It would be good if there is some data on this. But when I was living in the US, more than a few of my friends were in debt either via credit card or student loans. It's quite common compared to Chinese students which usually pay in full.

Strange, I never carry a balance, and I still get all the points common in the credit card system.

That's not strange, the CC processors still get a % from the merchant for each purchase.
