how to get korean credit card, and which one(s) to get
my spouse is looking to spend about a month per year in korea over the next few years, and it occurs to me that it may be useful to have a korean-issued credit card while there. ideally, it would be a card with no annual fee, since it would only be used for one month or so out of a year, and we might not even use it at all.
our preference is for a korean air affinity card, but we want a card that is based on won, not dollars. KE's website only lists the us bank, diners club, and chase sapphire cards, all of which are dollar-based (the website is probably auto-detecting that i am in the US).
can a foreigner apply for a korean credit card remotely? if not, can a relative who is currently in seoul do it for us?
we've never visited korea for longer than 90 days so neither of us has an alien registration card. but my spouse was born in korea, so i'm curious whether an ARC is actually necessary.
