    Plane ticket and credit card
    I only got accepted for a student credit card and it limits me to $1000, in which I need to buy a plane ticket to australia. Is there somehow I could buy a plane ticket other then credit card or do something else? :confused:

    You need the money to buy a plane ticket, can you borrow it from someone (parents). Don't know any better way to get there but to fly, boats take a long time and are more expensive than flights. You could charge the $1000 and pay cash for the rest. How much is the flight, about $1500?

    No you can pay cash but you may have to go to the airport or a travel agent rather than book it on-line

    Even better, you can get a visa card at the bank that you put the money into, so it has no credit line just what you put into it. Then you could book it on-line

    Yes, you got some good answers, get a visa card from your bank, or merely reserve the flight and pay cash for the ticket.
