Why should he pay for dinner in BCN if he can just book a flight with for 19 EUR and then eat in the lounge before missing his flight. Which restaurant let's you eat and drink all you can for 19 EUR, including unlimited girls?

Guys stick to the topic which is about "personal debit card" and not anything else. I already got annyoed by the mess in the thread here where sevral posts are off topic.

Thanks.

If anyone have links to personal credit cards where you can apply from any European country it would be nice, I noticed Revolut already, mentioned several times here, so AMEX but that's only possible through your bank!

I think the best choice for Amex Platinum in EUR is to open a company in Germany and use that card. The alternative is to tell them you are resident in a EEA country and get a card to an address there.

The problem with @nobel's quest if not getting the card. It is how to get it while only using an address in a place like San Marino that nobody wants to serve while believing that giving the banks an address elsewhere creates tax issues.

There are many younger nomads here that use addresses for banks in half a dozen counties as banks need it. At the same time the age the older "farts" as @Forester nicely calls them that try to avoid random countries getting CRS reports about people that haven't even set foot there yes a decade. I recently had such debate when @Martin Everson in another thread.

As already many banks file CRS reports to your citizenship country I personally think that they generally in nothing to worry about having some accounts in addresses you never lived (especially when never lived there). But in the end it is a matter of taste.

If you are worried, you can either be added as authorized user on somebody else's card, buy the dragon pass from their website or invest in a nice smile and ask a fellow passenger if you can join him to the lounge.

@JohnLocke Yes. The Japanese bars proposed by @cryptofriendly also serve foreigners like Europeans. Totally off topic, but all you can drink for 2 hours. My post was trying to point out that the link points to Nomihodai, a Japanese expression meaning "all you can drink" as I was fooled into opening the page believing to find something useful too.

Well, it's a listing of bars with all-you-can-drink offers, and at these in the list you'll have some female company sitting next to you as well (and they aren't as old as the obachans at snackbars). Ok, next time I'll get you tabehodai and nomihodai, but the best I can do right now is Shakey's pizza 'Viking' (buffet) in Shibuya and Ikebukuro with tabehodai and nomihodai for 3 hours, the female company you'd have to pick up yourself at the station after.

Ok, enough OT, and back to CC. It's difficult for non-residents to access those in JP, but there are options as the anonymous vanilla visa cards that one can purchase at 7-11, and Kyash is/was an easy option too https://www.kyash.co/products/card-lineup

For benefits like discounts and for residents only (and even then, it takes a year or two to actually get one as a resident gaijin), the easiest to get and best option for beginners is Rakuten CC Card (lots of benefits, points can be used to pay off the CC), most CC offer only 0.5-1% rewards. Amazon.jp offers a choice of cards as well, not too hard to get. Other easy options for residents are Aeon and ENEOS cards. Lastly Paypay, which is a cashless system which offered around 20% cashback in the beginning, and still offers 5% at some shops, is the most widespread system in JP, and is even more accepted than CCs.

Note that UK residents can still apply.

Either @JohnnyDoe lives in Italy or they exclude centurion members.

The nice thing about Amex ICC was you could be living in, for example, Thailand and getting a EUR and/or USD card which you could settle from every account worldwide. The program is being run from Brighton.

Then suddenly in 2022 they decided to reduce the list of eligible countries. Thailand was out and they were trying to hide which countries were still eligible to avoid people changing their residency. They also stopped accepting direct applications.
In 2023 they shortened the list even more.

You missed hitting on the waitress and the flight attendants in a relaxed environment in the lounge- bonus.
