I just moved to Australia from the US (for the next three years or so). I have not been doing much international travel, but will while I am here (most ly flights back with my family). I think given the amount I will be spending, the platinum card makes sense for the bonus mileage. Most of my purchases on the card will be in AUD, so I think I need to apply for a Australian-based platinum card.
However, the website lists as a requirement that I must be a permanent Australian resident/citizen. I have a subclass 457 long-stay visa. Am I eligible for this card?
Alternatively, is there some way that I can apply for a US-based card, but have my home currency set to AUD? If not, the 2.5% foreign currency conversion charge is going to wipe out the benefit of bonus miles.
