    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Ok thanks for the advice. I think I’ll try for it. Hope I’m not putting my CSP at risk since they wanted more stuff at the start which they then seem to have let go with card approval. Tried to open a broking account on Friday. It refused and asked me to call in.

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    I’m looking for some advice. I have CSP since January 2025. I applied in branch though I noticed Chase did ask me some questions which I only noticed after approval. I’ve been using my card regularly though all charges so far have been in AU. I don’t want to look a gift horse in the mouth. Do I...

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Which supermarkets does it work for? Might it work for Coles GC assuming they finally bring an offer out … been a while since the last one. Assuming they didn’t make any $$ so they’ve stopped the offer.

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    I left it a little late. They downgraded me to Green business card and charged pro rated difference. Glad they did that. I do have a credit on my Green business card. I’ll look to reallocate it to my other cards as their statements issue. Just curious, do I get the SUB on this card even though...

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    I’ve just d/g to business green. I didn’t quite want to let go of the pay over time limit. I don’t think I’ll use it but best to have it just in case. They offered me a retention offer of 15k points for $5k spend which I thought was pretty ordinary. Was told they’d pro rats as @levelnine has...

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    I thought I needed to can it. I guess possibly a green business card at $95 AF might be a good halfway house if the will still let me do it. My AF was due on Friday US time & I paid it as didn’t want to be past due on any account. Left my run a little late. Will they give me back the difference...

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Just looking for some guidance. I have started to look at closing some of my US Amex cards as only need the Green and BBP. I have the Business platinum for which I've served 12 months and the AF has just been billed. I went online to cancel it. The online agent suggested I try again during...

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Do you need to give them any financial data or just set it up? Is the 50k bonus on now or a periodic offer? I just had a Quick Look in the Amex US site but couldn’t see it.

    Changes to Westpac credit card point earn rates from 1/8/25

    Are there any good GC offers atm aside from the Coles MC GC offers which used to be regular but haven't been seen for months now since Coles randomly cancelled the last offer mid-campaign?

    Changes to Westpac credit card point earn rates from 1/8/25

    I suspect they will be changing these soon since Westpac is St George’s parent company.

    Changes to Westpac credit card point earn rates from 1/8/25

    It appears that way. I won’t be using mine very much anymore. Guessing Amex will follow suit at some point and then that’s that with AU cards. Shame :(

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    I concur, got my CSP approved by going in branch and also opened checking account at the same time. What followed was a little hairy but I hope it stays open and fully functional now - I quite like it - though it's taken some spend away from other cards.

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    I'm coming home from SQ in suites in a few weeks - I see that as a fluke. I've not been in the new suites yet and they've been in service for some years now.

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    That's the issue with me - I have 1.6m MR I mostly fly SQ but would be loathe to "bank" so many at SQ aside from the 3 year rule, they're also subject to devaluations - though better than losing 100% of them due to a shutdown.

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    I used my ITIN to apply. Worked well. Assuming that Amex won’t be as generous when I start consolidating my accounts to a smaller more manageable number as I’m figuring out which ones I’m using more than others to justify the AFs.

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    I applied for mine under the same offer. Wore the 2.7% currency fee as SUB was 75k MR. Will just put it in the bottom drawer now. Agree with others’ posts - just applied as a sole proprietor.

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    The reason they gave was due to account activity. I never even activated my card or put through any activity which is why I consider it a BS reason.

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    I’m done with C1. My business CC got shut down even though it had been approved and before I even activated the card - glad I didn’t forward it to AU. They gave me a BS reason. I’m done with C1 for now. Just wanted the 2X on every category. I think I’ve done the most I can with Amex & will...

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    IME depends on the provider. MyUS offer only UPS - it’s very expensive and overkill for the non critical type of mail. I’ve now moved to another provider. They do offer USPS but aside from the much slower delivery, it’s pretty exxy as well. I’ve come to the conclusion we’re a market to be...

    ATO (tax office) payments by credit card

    Haven’t seen a promo of $0 fee for a while after they were doing them regularly or might I have missed some promos? I’m disappointed to hear about the blocking of ATO but not entirely surprised. Didn’t they do this previously then relented on the block after lots of complaints from users?
