Strategy to obtain US Amex

[Fil-Ski]

Anyone successfully applied for a Blue Business Plus Credit Card with Amex. It came up as a promo when I login to my account.

I only have a Green personal Amex

I clicked apply but they need info for business which is US based stuff.

I do have a business but in Australia only

Very simple - most of us apply for the Business in our personal name as a sole proprietor. Ignore your Australian business as it wont have anything to do with it.
Did you once think about selling a photo you took online - Boom - your a photographer with an online business.
Most start small - income is low $1-5K per year and expenses are low too
Good luck

Do you need to get an EIN ?

Good card to have as it is the only MR card with no AF , so one can keep it forever and use it to store points .

I applied for mine under the same offer. Wore the 2.7% currency fee as SUB was 75k MR. Will just put it in the bottom drawer now.

Agree with others’ posts - just applied as a sole proprietor.

I used my ITIN to apply. Worked well. Assuming that Amex won’t be as generous when I start consolidating my accounts to a smaller more manageable number as I’m figuring out which ones I’m using more than others to justify the AFs.

Have hit a wall on any Amex approval including business cards at the moment, just getting the - not eligible for SUB popups, anyone know what would help?

Didn't think I would end up in PUJ so quickly only after 2 personal cards, but apart from ramping up spending on AMEX and trying NLL links, is there anything else that can be done?

For anyone forwarding cards to AU, I would suggest avoiding DHL if possible. My package has been flagged and it's being flown to KY for inspection. No idea how long it's gonna take...

Oh disappointing - Amex has sent me 7 cards in last 12 months via DHL and all have been fine - but maybe because Amex sent direct

I think this has been a general DHL thing. In February, I had a parcel with a bunch of groceries and clothing that I had bought online also sent to KY for inspection. Took about 5-6 days for it to be released.

I always thought Amex sent them via UPS. I could be wrong.

All mine have been DHL - no idea if its location specific?

Same. All cards been via DHL. No issues till date.

Yeah I might have gotten them mixed up. Chase was UPS.

This is most likely specific to forwarding personal mail.

DP for Dell credit on the Amex Business Platinum, it works on Dell Canada site. If you have family/friends in Canada, you can buy something and send it to their place or to a mail forwarder and on sell on eBay.

All my orders on Dell USA were getting cancelled so Dell Canada is an option for those in the same boat as me.

Thanks for sharing. Can you clarify how you got it to work? Did you order on Dell USA and ship to Canada? Or order on Dell Canada but pay in USD? thanks

It was from Dell Canada and paid in CAD, shipped to an address in Canada.

I tested it out with a small amount:
