Hey!
Last week I tried applying to an amex platinum card. I own a business here in Tokyo and my salary is over 1千200万円/年 and still got rejected within a day of screening.
I’m from Spain where credit cards are rarely used, thus I have never owned any credit card before. Unsure why would it be rejected, I decided to try again to apply today (almost a week later) to the AMEX Gold Card, to get an email within 1 minute that my application was rejected.
​
What’s the success path here? I don’t see a lot of variables I can control, or if I should try again with their simpler amex card. But afraid it’s going to make worse possible future applications.
Otherwise, there’s also the question if there’re any while-worthy credit cards here in Japan besides amex?
