Yeh, I managed to use last year's $250 credit at the Hilton Sesoko Okinawa in November, a bit of advice is definitely get a hire car if you plan to stay at that particular hotel. Nice hotel although I found it weird that even though it was ~30 degrees C, they close their outdoor pool during that...

For those who don't live in Gold Coast (or planning to travel), how are ppl planning to make use of the $400 ($200 semi-annual) Hilton Resort credit from their Hilton Aspire card? Also has anyone had their card long enough that it's expired? Will they send a new card via UPS/FEDEX or by standard...

has anyone else noticed that the westpac corporate code has dropped off their IHG profiles?

back in 2020 I managed to open a Citibank account in New York in person. I think it helped being a aussie citibank customer. All they required was passport and my aussie citibank card. At the time they used my aussie address for the application, but I easily changed that to my "myUS" address...

as above, all questions answered. you must be lucky, as mentioned above it could just be luck of the draw. I did my first GT for myself which did not need any address verification, and one for my partner which did require a 3 way verification.

Firstly before you apply via the AMEX GT route you need to have a U.S. phone number and address set up if you have not already done so. Easiest thing to do is if you have any friends or relatives living in the U.S. use their address, otherwise open a MyUS account to get a address that way. YMMV...

If I can recall PP have stopped issuing physical cards and moved everything onto the app. But that's how we would do it anyway since in the past PP cards would be send by standard post and generally not be accepted by MyUS (it did once reach my MyUS account but they wanted me to provide the...

Yeh not great international business reward availability, especially coming out of Melbourne. And if you are paying for emerald status you would want to either fly out of melb or syd for their international first lounges. Does anyone know once you are finnair platinum do you have access to more...

so if we change address we shouldn't permanently leave the address as an Aussie address?

Has anyone added their CC to a paypal account? Just wondering if any issues might arise using the aussie paypal since the billing address has to be australian.

first time i tried topping up via the app had an error occur and no funds added to my starbucks card, however was charged on my amex... Called starbucks customer support and they said there was an error on their end sounding very suspicious like they had detected fraud or something. So they had...

So just an update, we finally received the wife's bonvoy brilliant amex! So from where I left off, I had to call amex again till I got someone who was willing to give me my tracking number. With that in hand I was ready to chat to MyUS to look for the missing package. Unsurprisingly amex had...

Sounds similar to how AMEX tries to identify you by asking questions that you would definitely say no to. For example when they were trying to ID me they asked me questions like do you know who a certain person is and where they live, and did you ever own a 2018 toyota camry.... I have no idea...

yeh that figures... did you have to do something fancy like VPN to get the US app here in aus?

Did you use the Aus starbucks app?
