That's weird - i applied for one for just that reason - so i don't pay conversion fees overseas.
i actually gave up at the point where they needed me to fill in 1000 forms to verify income etc etc. I just left them in the house and didn't even bother filling them out, let alone post them, but a few weeks later the card arrived in the mail.
you should hassle them to give you a good reason for declining you - you must be the first person in the world whom a credit card company didn't want business from!
