Welcome to Flyertalk.

If you will not be able to pay the credit card bill in full you should look for a card with the lowest possible Annual Percentage Rate. The value of rewards are trivial compared to the finance charges, and rewards cards typically have very high rates.

Do you have a credit history? If you are not sure you should retrieve your credit reports from here:
