Both Amex and C1’s online forms now end in a declaration as above (I certify I am a US citizen or person) I suspect all the banks have been told to tighten up account opening…

So you needed to go via live chat to apply rather than the online form ?

Has anyone opened one of these recently ? As when I tried with C1, it ends up in a W9 form which makes you say ‘Under the penalties of perjury’ that you are a US citizen. There’s no option for anything else

If you are trying to avoid any scrutiny then I think the $6 extra postage will be worth it

If they are going in 3 separate envelopes I’m fairly sure the IRS will neither know nor care

Were you able to open this online, or in person only ?

Other than a hard pull, any downside to applying if you haven’t got the requisite 12+ months of credit history ? Does Chase blacklist you or similar for a period after a failed application ?

If it's working it's working - go for it I say

I use it for both receiving codes and making outgoing calls so it looks like I’m calling from the US That is the correct plan. I use their website rather than an app (too many pointless apps!) Up to you whether you want to port or not I’m on the Telstra network, but Vodafone does support...

Does Chase do an eligibility verification without a hard pull ?

This was confirmed to me on live chat a few days ago - have not had time to call up yet (they wouldn't let me do it over the chat). I have a zero balance in anticipation of cancelling, and the AF was paid for in a statement just past. Does anyone know how they will refund this if there are no...

Will they do this no questions asked for a first GT ? Or do you have to go down the notary path ?

For those who have access to a score, or who have had a card approval/rejection recently, it would be interesting to hear what your scores are, and how long you’ve had a credit history in the US for… I’ve only had a history for about 6 months, and my score on a recent approval was about 680 as...

Any updates on how you negotiated this ?

I still find it strange that they flag ApplePay when tokenised payments should be much less prone to fraud than physical card payments

You called him up from Aus ?

Unusual; I've no dealings with Chase yet, but I have had several instances where GV is not accepted/working but Tello always has Shouldn't make a difference, but maybe try calling from a non-VOIP service (eg an Aussie mobile operator) and see if it works ?

Have you verified that your Tello is currently working while away from wifi ? Eg get a friend to call it and check ?

Looking at closing P2's Aus Platinum as soon as I can transfer her MR to her newly minted Green; unfortunately will be after the next Aus Platinum annual fee is charged. Does Amex generally refund this pro-rated if you cancel early enough ? Or once it's charged it's charged and we have to keep...

Seems to be totally random, and they can be frustratingly specific I was never asked with my GT P2 however - they didn't accept an interim statement from HSBC (7 days), and required several phone calls (and the subsequent month's partial statement) to get approval over the line
