    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Congratulations on the approval! My status has changed to 7-10 days message and I guess it’s time to call up and plead my case. Standard questions this time? Address, ITIN, mobile, county? I always get nervous calling 😬

    Bonvoy Boundless? All the bloggers go crazy over Hyatt but need a bigger footprint or a leisure destination/resort closer to home would be nice.

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Just called the automated line and now says you will be notified in writing within 30 days. The signup and waived annual fee is really fantastic at present and for my circumstances would gain far more value with the IHG card than Hilton or Hyatt. Will have to get my courage up and speak to...

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Hi Rohit, I had to wait until I received the physical card (it was my first US Amex card) and the shipping was very quick although can't recall if it was overnight or standard. My second US Green card I could add to Apple Pay straight away so not sure if it is the order I applied or the type of...

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    For the Chase experts out there, I just applied for the HG Rewards Club Premier Credit Card and the decision was (see below) seems like by all accounts and DP's online, flowcharts and blogs it should say We'll notify you "within 30 days" or something similar days. Can't seem to find out if this...

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Same with me and multiple times with Amex and Cap1 had to make some excuse up why I can’t receive text messages like old iPhone etc. Now hopefully no such issue. 1607501017 Oops a bit confused textNow and textPlus different options.

    Hi everyone, big news on the SMS verification front and hopefully this can help the Chase issues also. So I logged onto AMEX US and it had the option to add my card to Apple Pay so tried to add it but they sent a SMS code to enter and my textPlus number did not work so thought I would try my...

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Just checked and the address is EIN Express INC 6300 Canoga Ave Suite 1740 Woodland Hills CA 91367. If seems maybe not to matter. I cannot recall the source but I believe someone mentioned that you cannot add the ITIN to existing Amex card and such I wanted to get a 2nd Amex with ITIN attached...

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    The $560 I paid to get the ITIN number is hopefully now paying off. Big commitment but useful for applications moving forward.

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Just got approved for my 2nd US Amex (green card) and you have to hold your nerve and have the information at hand. Applied online using Amex US login and got the "We need more information" and please call. So I called up and he asks the normal address and phone number questions and then says...

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    So my attempt was a bit of a failure but a learning process I suppose. Logged on using US Amex login and applied for Amex Green card using my new ITIN number and got the dreaded please call to verify some details. The rep wanted to do a 3 way call with my bank to verify my address (it was a new...

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Tricky really as my attempt at 2nd Amex card resulted in please call to verify and they wanted to call the bank for address purposes. So cones down to HSBC allowing the address change.

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    When I recently applied for my 2nd Amex card they wanted to call my bank to confirm the address, how would that work with HSBC Premier? Can you change address to US from Australia at some stage?

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Depending how I go with Capital One checking account and if it viable or not but if I went the HSBC route the plan would be to deposit and withdraw 9K per month and then after opening US Premier account would you then also have to deposit and withdraw USD2K per month for US Premier? I think that...

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    I might order the t-mobile $3 month deal you mentioned and that @ steveyyf has purchased. Hopefully I can then set up GV just for text messaging through t-mobile and other Voip for calling.

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    If you turn on VPN you can almost set up GV but seem to get stuck when trying to add the US number from the list available. Is the issue you need a physical landline or physical mobile to verify? Same as shipping the SIM card really. Also emailed iPlum customer support and they advised they do...

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Frustrating and I read on a forum someone signed up for an iPlum account and could receive SMS from Capital One. I just tried it and paid $4.99 USD for a monthly number and no SMS received. This is going to be costly just trial and error until something works.

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Thanks for the heads up and feel I am close but always a little road block with this US credit card game. Will have to try other methods but looking online lots of expats are frustrated with Capital One and the verification sms process. Difficult as lots of different services online but some...
