Hmm, if you have been rejected, suggest that u wait say 3-mths before applying again.
Have u tried to apply a CC where your salary is banked in?
How long have u been working. If u can show a consistent OT, Commissions, some Banks recognise such Income but it depends from case to case.
What is your Basic and Ot / Comms
Well I don't think he has to wait before applying again. I think for first-timer application, it would always be hard. I faced the same thing before, only about 2 years back.
I went to Citibank, rejected because there was no home phone number on my application form. (silly reason right?)
I applied OCBC 4 times I think, also rejected. No reason was given.
Then I went to CIMB, to apply simple classic card. Also rejected. Mind you my salary was credited into CIMB!
And my salary was about RM45k per year that time. I don't even understand why all three banks rejected me.
In the end, I was so frustrated, I went to Bank Islam and applied a card there. I thought to myself since its card was not that popular, so perhaps it would be easier to get it.
And yup, I got it. Few months after that I applied for more cards. Absolutely no problem at all. Now I have Maybank 2 Card, Public Bank Visa Gold Card, Standard Chartered World Miles Card and Bank Islam Gold card.
So yeah, my advice would be just be patient, and apply for an easy-to-get card first. Build your credit history for a few months, and then start applying for other cards.
