My Greek is not on point that I can talk about bank details so I'm too shy to do the conversation in Greek and I'd rather do it in English. Except if you still discourage me to get a visa after all this.
Kind regards,

I have no idea whether Alpha UK issues Aegean-branded credit cards, if yes and you're happy with having a cc in a country that uses a different currency than yours, go ahead and get it. It will definitely be expensive, but I have no idea whether the extra cost will be offset by the bonuses.
As for a Greek Aegean-branded credit card, as many people have written before, you'll need
your own AFM (ΑΦΜ) to open an account plus a copy of your last tax return summary (εκκαθαριστικό εφορίας) plus a utilities bill. The last two items are required annually, although hardly any bank asks for the unless you ask for a new PIN number, or you change your address. Are the bonuses so important to go through that?
PS I have a M&M credit card and although I no longer fly with them, I got an additional ~25000 miles during the last couple of years
