Strategy to obtain US Amex

Lots of report that C1 wont accept foreign passport as ID now especially if it goes with ITIN instead SSN. Thing seem getting strict.

Proof address and ID. Not sure of result yet as I just submitted. Will update on how it goes

What did you just submit?
When they asked me for ID, it was only US govt issued ID. They wouldn’t accept my AU passport.
I applied without a VPN and it was fine (different situation to yours as you already had a C1 product).
C1 card is now my daily driver. Hope it doesn’t get converted to Discover. YMMV.

Hope it doesn’t get converted to Discover

That would be terrible. Hopefully they keep the Venture X as Visa

They accepted my AU passport when I applied with an AU IP address and no VPN. Assuming they knew on previous attempts, I'd applied using a VPN and so asked for harder to get things like a US govt issued ID supposedly as I was a fraudster..
