For example, you have reason that you are the good customer who obey and pay the credit card bill for a last year and even for 6 month only.
5. Make comparison between credit card companies
Do not ever hold to the abroad minded. Even you often have abroad journey, it is not reason for you to be a credit card holder from abroad company that has high interest. There so many ways to go to abroad without cash money beside credit card. For example, you can choose travel check and many more. If you feel comfort as the credit card holder from abroad company, you allow applied the broad credit card and get the credit card in two day (maximal time). It will be your alternative way if you deposit your money just like you think enough and will use it when you in abroad. After you back home and think that your credit card is not necessary anymore, closed your credit card immediately.
6. You can ask to the company to give reward routinely (once in the six month) or recommendation letter which is state that you are good customer.
It is rarely thing when the credit card company gives recommendation letter that load notes about good payment activity voluntarily without asked first. Because, it is so useful when you have plan apply loan to bank.
