Since there was a posting some time back whether Non U.S citizens
could be denied credit legally, I am posting the information I
received on one of the Universal Card brochures --
 
And I quote:
 
     "The Federal Equal Credit Opportunity Act prohibits creditors
      from discriminating against credit applicants on the basis of
      race, color, religion, national origin, sex, marital status,
      age (provided that the applicant has the capacity to enter into
      a contract ); because all or part of the applicant's income
      derives from any public assistance program; or because the
      applicant has in good faith exercised any right under the
      Consumer Credit Protection Act. The Federal agency that
      administers compliance with this law concerning Universal Bank
      is the Regional Director, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation,
      Marquis One Tower, 245 Peachtree Center Avenue N.E. Suite 1200
      Atlanta, Georgia 30303"
