I just noticed AMEX have upped the sign on bonus of my referral link for the Platinum card to 100K. if there is anyone out there still looking for signup bonuses abroad please feel free to use my link. Apply for an American Express Card with this link. We can both get rewarded if you're approved!

Hey everyone, hope you don’t mind if I throw my referral link in. AMEX GOLD CARD 75,000 BONUS POINTS FOR NEW SIGN UPS For every person that uses my link and successfully applies I will get 30,000 MR points. Currently the offer with my link is for 75,000 bonus points to the new applicant. Cheers!

Hey Scoobs, It’s been great. Even though unfortunately I only really get to use the M/C as only servos and the big grocery stores seem to accept the Diners LoL. But I love the charge card ‘no pre-set’ spending limit. I also noticed in another thread that I can put the Diners card on my PayPal...

Membership Rewards. AMEX’s reward program.

Hey Scoobs, I waited a little bit more than a year. The past few times was generally each December. This time was not until February just gone. So there is one data point, perhaps they are more inclined to approve someone AFTER the festive season when out of control spending isn’ generally as...

Hey Des, My credit scores in Oz are excellent with both credit savvy and get credit score, the Score generated by nova credit was just over 700 which I think from my research is a pretty average score in the US. But it was enough to get approved for the basic Hilton card. I have since received...

Hi des, Sorry about the extremely belated reply. the Nova Credit reporting method was a breeze. Interesting as well because during the process you are provided with the full credit report that AMEX US gets to see. So once I had done the application using my drivers licence and Medicare card...

So I took the plunge and decided to go it again. Just missed having a charge card too much. as per the usual it was a fairly drawn out process. T-0 - application emailed off T-ONE WEEK - phoned to check they received the email and to get my application reference number. No number given, but...

I would imagine so. I haven’t had a chance to try it out yet. Definitely something I am curious about though. I have been watching this thread for a long time now. Finally took the plunge recently and managed to get a US Amex card approved via the Nova credit reporting method. Just waiting for...

You can download the template, but the recommendation is to get a bonafide one sent to you with an email chain detailing how it came about for extra proof of necessity of an ITIN. Just sending the template letter with your name added in may not quite get it over the line. so yes, long story...

Sort of. I signed up for the direct publishing thing as described in the blog. But hit a road block when requesting the letter from Amazon to go along with the ITIN application for the IRS as I haven’t published any content and made any sales. I would say quite a lot of people jumped on this and...

I think I will give the applications team a call prior to another go if I ever decide to apply again. Just in case I am consistently messing something up on their hi-tech application forms 😂 Very interesting. I have been thinking about it again recently after letting my AMEX charge card go...

Any updates on this? We’re you successful? I have tried annually for the last three years and been knocked back EVERY time. I have never been knocked back for any other cards except this one.....don’t know what I am doing wrong 😩

When I applied a couple of years ago I had just had a couple of really big months at work. Payslips all indicated I was heading towards about 155K for the financial year. They take the two most recent ones and approved me no worries.

Yea me too :-)
