I made a fan page for Samsung card, looking into some insights from the Dave's community to make it better.

Added a bunch of important stuff (like the English number if your balance is too high and you need it adjusted) but... if you have time would you take a peek and see if it is actually helpful?

Considering that Samsung is now telling hagwon workers they can no longer get the card, your Al Bundy avatar is highly appropriate!

public school, university employees, F-2,F-4, & F-5 visa holders are all able to apply.

It was my understanding that hagwon employees were never able to get one. Unless your hagwon boss co-signs.

No, I know of half a dozen teachers at WSI that have samsung cards. Someone told me there is a list of accepted hogwans but who really knows?

I take it the OP works for Samsung, and is not just a fan?

the page looks good.

Is the English number the smae one to call if you lose your card / need it stopped? Sick of getting my wife to do it.

Thanks, wuzza! Glad you like it

No, I'm on an E-2 visa and I don't work for Samsung.

should be compensated for my efforts, but hey

Yes, the English number handles everything- lost card, change of address, whatever you need

Yesterday I called the English number for Samsung to find out how to get a credit card and they told me that they are no longer issuing credit cards to foreign English teachers....

I am here on an E-2 visa and have been at the same GEPIK public school now for two years. The man at Samusng said the rules changed a few months ago, so....

Any other recommendations for a credit card company that doesn't require a deposit of sorts.

Wow- that's news to me...

Must be fairly recent as I changed my card with them a few months back.

No other company I know of offers cards to foreigners w/o a deposit.
