    Credit card companies

    My daughter went to work in Japan 8 months ago. She rejected several times on applying a Japanese credit card. Could you let me know which credit card companies that accept your application? Thanks.

    I was rejected for a Chase Amazon.co.jp card last year, and I have a Chase Amazon.com card with a $5000 credit line and no outstanding balance. You'd think that would count for something.
    Just recently got turned down for a Tsutaya visa card.

    I heard that the Post Office savings account card can be used like a visa card. Is that true?

    Edit: Whups. Maciamo's article answered my question.
