    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    What is an acceptable wait time between a first chase card and applying for subsequent cards? CSP was approved in December and I’m thinking of applying for WOH next month as my second card.

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Priority pass discontinued for all Amex Hilton cards on Feb 1 2024 if you had the card prior to January 2023. If you enrolled or renewed (including Upgrading card product) between Feb. 1, 2023, and Jan. 31, 2024, membership is valid through Oct. 31, 2024. Big loss for those who relied on PP for...

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Yes I had no luck inserting the card either. It came back with the same ‘Do not honor’ rejection code. Once again called Chase and fraud department said they needed to verify it was me making the purchase and to try again. I ended up getting an invoice for the total amount and was able to use a...

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    The first time I used Apple pay on my phone because I thought it might actually be more secure and bypass the need for a PIN like it usually does with Aus cards. The next day when I went back after calling Chase and speaking to Fraud dpt I tapped the card. Maybe I'll insert and see what happens...

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    I applied online for the CSP card and then called to confirm my application after I got the 7-10 days message. I was sent a secured link to upload the documents you mentioned and verify identity. About 24hrs after uploading documents I got an email saying I was approved. The card took about 15...

    I waited until I had my Amex Green card approved with ITIN for 15months and by that stage had my GT Amex cards around 2 years. No checking account with Chase and approved with 17.5K CL after identity verification.

    Has anyone encountered larger purchases being declined using their first Chase card? I'd been successful making smaller purchases <$100 for the first week and then I tried to make a larger purchase >$500 which was declined and after contacting Chase, speaking to fraud department and having notes...

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Just to follow up: I finally managed to get an online account setup after more than a few failed attempts. I called the number I obtained from a reddit post and was connected with an online technical specialist who simply asked what username I'd like to use and then set up a password which I was...

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Guilty as charged!! After several phone calls it's been quite frustrating dealing with their customer service and even after escalating to supervisors in multiple departments being told the only way to create online account is to visit a branch. I've obtained a phone number off reddit which...

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    I was able to get verified this way also. However I'm discovering how difficult it is to create an online account. I've received my CSP Card and somehow a callback to my textnow number actually worked to verify the card so I've been using it that last couple of days without issue. The battle I'm...

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Just ordered an e-sim from Tello and it appears to be working well over wifi. Unsure if it will work for 2FA verification texts from Chase and other banks but i've added it as a work number to my Amex Profile. Is there any way of adding it as an additional mobile number instead of a work number...
