Hello,

I'm going to move shortly to the Netherlands.

My job should entail a fair bit of travel, though I don't expect it to be particularly high value (i.e. premium class) travel, and I don't know whether the location will be enough to strongly prefer KLM in itself, enough to get a status.

Beyond that, I expect some personal travel usually by LCC anyway.

So how's that relevant to credit cards?
I'm trying to figure out if there is a card that's worth pursuing for me in NL before I start taking care of things like getting a bank account etc.

I would like to have a card that makes it easy to access lounges (used to have an Amex Gold with unlimited free access in Slovakia for a reasonable fee, sadly, it's discontinued), possibly one where loyalty points can be transferred to either airline or hotel points in more than one program, and one that is fairly easy to use while travelling within Europe and out of it (i.e. international acceptance is good, and forex fees are small).

I have a Diners Club that I will probably keep, which means I'm not interested in cards which will allow me to buy in to lounges (in other words, I can already do that), though I might change it for a variant without travel insurance - so a good insurance is still a plus.

Thanks
