Strategy to obtain US Amex

For those who have Chase CC, is there anything in particular to follow or do once receiving the new card to prevent a fraud block? Notes I've got
- Activate card with VPN
- Put small charges (US online local charges if possible)
- Anything else?

How quickly can you start increasing charges if we have some bigger upcoming bills?
Don’t use mobile wallets . Big no .

No rule as such wrt increasing but I believe your daily spend should be proportionate to your daily income until regular patterns are built up
 
Maybe not fof chase specifically but in general ,”.
I have this issue with Chase cards on my mobile wallet. Got upset, Called them asking for explanation. They said it's because the Mobile wallet is tied to Australia instead of U.S but asking me to make sure when adding the card to give it the U.S Residential address. Then the person went on and clear the block from their end. I have not got the issue recently but at early Stage, was rejected so many times with Mobile Wallet but physical card transaction went thru.
 
Just got declined from chase cc reason I dont have much credit info. Can someone please tell me what should I do now ?
Call the recon line and plead your case on why you should have the card. I made a post about it a few weeks back on my experience in recon for both P2 and I

been searching through your posts in this thread but I think I've missed it - could I trouble you to direct me to the post please.

trying to apply for the Chase Marriott Boundless again but Chase is rejecting me based on thin credit file, no checking account... and I've had my US AMEX for years now (and ITIN since last year)
