Annual fees shouldn't be a problem as long as there are benefits. I was using a Singapore Amex Platinum which the annual fee was $1800 SGD! I downgraded to Gold because the benefits didn't fit the fees at all in Singapore.

I honestly just prefer whichever card accumulates miles the quickest and has some travel benefits. No one has made a guide similar to this one?

Also, I'm new to Japan. I assume it's not really easy for a foreigner to get a credit card right away. Are there any tips on this? My income should meet most requirements, I just don't have credit history here.

Thanks!
