SimonandSian Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Hi, Wonder if anyone can help/advise. We arrived a year ago on a 189 visa and are planning on getting citizenship when the time comes. We are looking into getting a credit card for frequent flier points but wondering if there is a waiting period before we should apply for a credit card. I don't want to apply and get rejected - it says that I should be a permanent resident which I am, but wondered if anyone had experiences they could share? Thanks S+S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have PR and can apply as soon as you want to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melbpom Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Maybe check your credit score before applying. Look at the government's website, www.moneysmart.gov.au for agencies that do this for free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parley Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 It is very unlikely you would get rejected outright. As long as you have some income you will be given a card. The worst that will happen is they give you a lower credit limit than you ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
