I am American living in Playa Del Carmen and need to get a credit card. Bank wont issue to non mexican, ideas

Question

I have been working here 3 years but the banks won't establish credit to foreigners. Would appreciate any help

Answer 1

Suggestions (1) try Mastercard or Visa in the states. (2) open up an account in an American bank and see if you can then get a credit card thru them (3) see if the Mexican banks will issue a secure credit card. (say put 2,000 in a checking account in the bank and get a charge card for 2,000. bank would be able to debit your savings account for the amount of the charge card from your savings account) (4) is there a credit union where you work, can you get a charge card thru them
