Hi,

I've been trying to apply for entry-level credit cards, and my applications have been rejected. I suspect they were rejected because I do not have a credit history. I have not applied for any loans since I graduated.

I do not want to pledge my savings for credit card. What are the other possible ways for me to get a credit card? I want to get one to build a credit history. Although, how important is a credit history in the first place?

I was stuck in the same situation as you, I didn't and couldn't do anything to ease the process but to just wait. Also, try to get a job with more than the minimum RM2,000 salary per month (even RM2,050 is enough) and wait till your EPF has at least 6-7 months of contribution.

I waited 6 months, tried AEON Credit and was approved but with the lowest credit limit, which is RM2,000

"How important is a credit history in the first place?"
- Quite, if you've built a credit history through credit cards then to be approved for loans in the future for either Housing or Auto Purchase will easier as the banks can see your track record.

sounds good, won't work after a few transactions as the bank will flag it as potential fraud, abuse

Let's say I have 5 cards, total credit limit is 100k. If I used up all my credit limit but I never miss any payment monthly.

Will bank approve on my loan or can I apply for new credit card?

that will destroy your chances of getting any new credit, if you max out all of your available credit, you are seen as a risky individual. Applying for a new loan/ credit card with maxed out cards tell banks that you are desperate for credit.
