In the previous Australia Best Credit Cards 2019 Part I, I have identified the Entry Level credit cards which are good for my just graduated son for the purpose of accumulating Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer Miles and they are as follows:

- American Express Platinum Edge – AMA Version
- American Express Explorer Credit Card

- St. George (or Bank of Melbourne) Amplify Visa Platinum
- St. George (or Bank of Melbourne) Amplify Visa Signature
