I think they will, it's been around for as long as I can remember, although a lot of CSA's are a bit confused about what you're asking for sometimes. I most recently moved a couple of hundred thou from UK-US and the exchange rate is depressing, but 1:1 on both means it's still a win (UK is 3:2...

No worries, and good call pointing that out, it's easy to end up with things getting shut down because people do things like calling up the company in question and asking outright, or it just gets so heavily abused it can no longer be overlooked.

How does one go about getting the Amex US Biz cards? Do they require a registered US business? Everyone in the US seems to go on about them (and with good reason!) but I'd always assumed they had some sort of registered business/loophole that made them eligible. Australia's business cards...

Yes - in fact you can use the US cards to pay most of the Aussie bills which have exclusions over here (like Government payments, certain utilities, car rego, ATO, etc.) and they're treated like any normal purchase.

Not sure about NZ, but the app (T-Mobile Prepaid eSIM, by the developer T-Mobile US) is available on the AU App Store. Apple is annoying like that, this one is ok, but other apps I've had to create new country based Apple IDs for the purpose of this (you can switch your existing one around...

I typed up for a few friends in a Discord I'm part of, I was going to drop it here but am in two minds about posting this, not because I don't want to help others, but more because this is an open forum and posting easy routes to things tends to get them killed, happy to DM it though (on the...

Re the T-Mobile SIM and US iTunes account, you don't need to do that from the US. Also if it's just an Amex you want, you don't need tos et foot in the US, so if it's just that you're planning to do, I wouldn't waste your time. For a bank account use Transferwise (I just can't get my head around...

BA has triggered it, I haven't tried the LCCs, but don't see why they wouldn't - anything that codes as airline?

This makes sense, my second is less than 12 months old (although first is older), so maybe I was being impatient. Being approved for the third definitely won't help me in that case, so I think I'll give it a rest for now (plus I'm approaching the end of the waiting window for some Aussie cards...

That's great! I've tried some of the NLL links before, but they've always required Nova using ITIN/SSN, so when I saw the checkbox allowing other forms of ID the dopamine rush was real 🤣

Interesting one re popup jail for me. I've been trying to GT myself the Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant card, but get popup jail every time (for months now). This is directly via the Amex website. Not sure what could be the reason. Anyway, when applying for the Gold via Resy, I was surprised to get...

Yes, all airlines - 3x on Green and 7x on Hilton Aspire, as Sudoer mentioned. Green I've also never had any issues with any other travel/transit posting at 3x, with the exception of Apple Pay topups of ICOCA card (Japanese Myki, essentially) and Intercontinental Grand Stanford (which for some...

Agree, Australia doesn't have the level 3 reporting of purchase data that the US have, so anything bought in a supermarket is supermarket spend, only Woolies Rewards itself would be able to differentiate. Also use Wise to pay my US Amex bills each month. Significantly easier than the ICC US$...

Third US Amex via GT approved today, Rose Gold via the Resy link, surprised to see they let me tick the box to use my passport as ID, I thought that'd gone other than while logged in and applying direct to Amex. Anyway 75k SUB and 20% back on restaurant spend for 6 months, if anyone's...

Same, I have 2x now, one weekend after the other - I have had two QF hotel stays this month, so that makes sense, couldn’t think of any other reason until someone sent me this thread!

All Apple products use them now, my Mac, iPad and iPhone are all C-C. 1710034547 Apologies, I responded below before I saw this 😁

Global transfer is still a thing, so you can still move a UK card to overseas, although the UK card remains open - so I don’t know what they expect you to do with it, unless you have a UK address (thankfully I do). I wonder too specifically re the ICC cards, I think they’re winding them down...

Yeah you should be ok, you’d be advised pretty quickly if it was a review and the account probably suspended until they do their thing. I’m not sure personally, but I think both BAEC and BAPP need to be registered to a UK address. Although it was possible to move UK cards to an Aussie address a...

Good summary and I pretty much agree with all of this. The guy next to me last week commented on wireless charging not working with the case on, I personally had no issues with a case less iPhone 15 Pro, but the Max might struggle to fit. Can’t comment on the charging speed on a 40 minute in air...

Agree the wifi was very temperamental on the inaugural, that said I got 10mbps or so download speed. It was more maintaining a connection that was an issue, but I assume everyone was doing the same thing!
