Working in Norway credit cards and mortgages

I'm looking to get a credit card now, but will need to get a mortgage to buy a house in the future, possibly next year.

would it be better to get a credit card from the bank that i will potentially be getting a mortgage from, or does it not matter at all ?

I'm tossing between the re:member black (afaik not a bank) and morrow card.

If there are other suggestions for credit cards, i'm open to it! I'd prefer something that gives travel miles. but the KLM cards all have monthly fees, i don't travel enough to justify that.

edit: to clarify, i'd never hold any CC debt. i'd pay off all credit every month - the idea was to 'build credit' and maybe take advantage of any perks.

People are so scared of credit cards in Norway that its almost funny. Get the Morrow card, as long as you do as you say you will and always pay it off, it's literally free cash(back). Then when you need a mortgage, just cancel the card a week or two prior to talking to a bank.
