I recently applied for an Amex Platinum Edge credit card and was told to call their hotline as they needed more information from me. The agent on the phone informed me that unfortunately the visa I am currently holding (Temporary Graduate visa, subclass 485) is not eligible to apply for this card. However, the terms & conditions for the card states that:
Applicants must be 18 years of age or over to apply for the American Express Platinum Edge Credit Card. They must be an Australian Citizen or permanent resident or hold a long term visa. Long term means 12 months or more and does not include a student visa.
My visa allows me to stay in Australia for a minimum of 4 years starting this year so I'm not sure why I was rejected.
Anyone has been or is in a similar situation as well? I'm trying to apply for my first credit card mainly for points so any advice or card recommendations would be greatly appreciated!
You gotta get it escalated . seems they made a mistake. Keep trying seems you are eligible.
