They gave me 2 options to verify my name/details (didn't specify address, but I assume it's part of it) 1. Three way phone call with bank (I assume they want a US bank and I couldn't use an Aus bank but say I'm in the process of moving ?) 2. Upload a utility statement or bank statement Looks...

Hoping to use the HSBC checking account as proof of details for an Amex GT. Are statements released on eg 1st day of the month, or does it depend on when the account is opened ?

Did you have to call them after answering their email questions ? I replied to them the same day but haven’t heard back yet ?

So did you say you were planning on living in the US but working remotely for an Aus company ? I have already said I’m not planning on living there

Do they cross check with what info that have on you from your Aus premier accounts ? I couldn’t say consulting if this is the case…

So I resubmitted my US HSBC application (I think it was the passport id problem that got it auto-rejected first time), and received an email asking for detailed answers to: “You listed on the application that you were self-employed. Could you please provide the following details about your...

Thanks will do - I assume the referral code is only for the online application ?

Yes I have premier. It did stew on my passport verification for a long time then say it couldn’t do it at the moment before proceeding with the rest of the application But if that was the issue I would have thought they would simply email to ask for ID verification rather than just rejecting…

Thanks Did they ask for proof of your premier status as part of that online application ? I essentially answered the same as you (but put reason as traveling regularly for work), and received a rejection email a few minutes after completing the application. Do you remember if you said you...

Did you apply as a new account from the us hsbc site ? And if so, did you say you were moving to the US ? And did you give them a US address ?

Can you explain exactly how you did this ? I have yet to be able to actually speak to a ‘relationship manager’ via their call centre

Nope. Just a curt Dear We're writing to let you know that your application for a HSBC Premier checking account was declined. Sincerely I presume this is because the online application didn’t actually ask me for proof of Premier outside of the US, so it failed somewhere before that - likely...

I have just become Au HSBC Premier 'enabled'. However there is only a generic call centre number under 'My Relationship Manager' in internet banking. I've called that twice and been put on hold for 30 mins before giving up... I then tried to sign up for a checking account via the US HSBC site...

Was this your first GT ? Mind sharing what the issues were ?

Is this cheaper than HSBC Aus -> HSBC US ?

Wouldn’t this be an easier way to pay off your US Amex than via Wise/Revolut ?

Ok I think I'm ready to do my first GT I have - paid 4 statements on the Aus platinum - a US address (relative) - a GV number Am I able to use any referral link from anywhere (with a good SUB), or do I need to go through the pages linked through my Aus account ? If I can use any links, I...

I haven't read about a solution to this if they aren't accepting Wise statements anymore - any recent DP for alternatives ?

Oops yes thanks ! Onwards with the slow march towards my first GT ;-)

I presume the table in the article has 0.625 for Au Platinum because it's 2.25 MR per $, so 0.6x Aeroplan points per $1 spent - which seems sort of the same as Aus-US Amex but a lot less hassle, unless I'm missing something ?
