Yep I have a notarised 1583 with them - though not sure if that affects the receipting, as I've had at least one letter received in the mailbox before the 1583 was done, so I assumed the check is being done at the time the letter is requested to be forwarded?

For my neighbours in Torrance, a data point: First Chase card sent via USPS not received in mailbox at all Replacement card requested after 10BD and sent via rush courier. Took 3 days from replacement being requested to Planet Express sending out a notification of receipt Requested package...

I've been pretty consistently told by VA staff that voluntary changes can't be made to ticketed award bookings - the booking would have to be cancelled and rebooked, but you then risk the seats you've previously held not being released back into the inventory. Also, the fact that you can see...

Update on MF - status still not recognised in system at MEL but the station manager now has an exceptions process! Took a photo of the physical card and proceeded to issue a lounge pass for the Marhaba lounge with no fuss. A much better experience compared to ~6 months ago. Marhaba lounge...

So that's the part that seemed a little different to what others have been discussing recently - I was never asked by the online chat agent to upload the IRS letter; it was just a secure pop up box with a single text field that I filled in and clicked submit 🤷‍♂️

A partial data point perhaps - I have two Amex cards (both applied for without ITIN) and recently applied for my first Chase card with the ITIN. It was a slog, but I was approved after about 3 weeks. Only a partial data point because at one stage I did reach out to amex via online chat asking...

The Velocity Escape card has now disappeared as well...

Yes I've been encountering the same issues over the past week, using Chrome on Android. I suspect it's the new ads that's causing the issues?

Give this a try (but it's not guaranteed, as it requires a skilled AND caring United agent): (1) Call United, explain the involuntary change and illegal connection, ask them to rebook you onto confirmed/space positive alternate flights, but tell them not to worry about reissuing the ticket (as...

Here's the upgrade link for explorer: The American Express Explorer Credit Card®

Given how profitable frequent flyer programs are, I can't imagine any buyer ever wanting to decimate its value... As with every operator, what any buyer will forever be doing is tweaking the program to try and find that sweet spot between maximising revenue, minimising cost, and delivering just...

Thank you Skeptic, really appreciate it!

Yes confirmed - had the debit card posted to Australia with no problems. I waited the 10 days before reaching out via online chat. Can't remember now though if having an existing credit card helped smooth the process.

Thanks Skeptic! My sister and her friends will be heading from YUL to YYC later this month so I would love to grab five of your passes - but only if no one else has a better use for it, as they don't exactly need it for a journey of that duration :)

Just for reference - I applied under a card upgrade offer during the promo period (from a regular Velocity Amex to a Plat Velocity Amex) and got the sign up bonus for the upgrade but not the 30k bonus from VFF. This was the first time I had ever taken up a Plat Velocity Amex and the terms...

Thanks astrosly! Typed too fast, didn't notice the silly mistake, and didn't have links on hand. That's what's great about this community - plenty of knowledgeable people around :)

There's some inherent risk in having your claim handled by an intermediary too. The terms and conditions in at least some of them allow them to take legal action against the airline on your behalf - which is all well and good if you/they win, but a nightmare if you/they lose. Not sure about...

Haven't tried personally but there are a good number of reports online that say yes

A few more DPs to add: DL - added AZ number to booking prior to flight through MMB and elite status was recognised instantly. No issues getting a free checked bag for both passengers (on the same booking) on a basic economy ticket, which was very helpful. KL - added AZ number to booking...
