Have you or anyone applied for any of their cards and been successful ? Which ones ?

 

[WeeWillyWonka]

Not with these (although they are on my radar). Also if you’re visiting the US to apply in branch (possibly with a checking account). Chances seem good for approval.

Bank of America required ssn . If you have an itin , it asks you to apply at a service centre .
Rejected for Wells Fargo autograph .
With Barclays aviator I got the application under review response .

After a long wait and transfer to security with a call to my Tello no I have been approved for the Barclays aviator .
Will be sent to my PE address .
Any tips for having it sent to Oz etc directly ?

Do Barclays have a wait time period before you can request a redirect?

Glad you had an easy time to Barclays. They wanted ID and address docs but weren't willing to accept a passport...
