    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    I looked into this (not too deeply) and found that you need a SSN to buy insurance? Or am I just completely off the mark

    AMEX rejection

    Not looking good for me. Same 5-10 day email for the platinum edge. Have no idea what it is but looks like I'm still on the wrong list.

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    I pay quote a range of bills using post billpay via paypal pay in 4, as this counts as an "online" transaction and I get double points on a Citi Premier CC in Australia. (all paypal pay in4 counts as "online" for Citi Premier) Paypal says that I am paying "Australian Postal Corporation" each...

    The Qantas Status Run Master Thread

    Yes but the discussion in the thread is that the status calc is wrong and it disagrees with the table. The calculator says e.g. LAX-DFW is only 60 which disagrees with the table

    AMEX rejection

    I have been rejected jan2023, may2024, oct2024. However, each of those times I had opened another card somewhat recently. Im coming up on 90 days since oct2024. Will have been 10 months since my last card in march 2024. Will apply for plat edge instead of plat. Hopefully something will work!!

    Just to clarify, does this mean jfk-dfw-lax would earn 200sc?

    Amex GT question - can the first GT have your ITIN or should you wait until the 2nd? Related - any difference between nova credit w/ITIN and GT with regard to acceptance?

    Oneworld Classic Flight Reward Discussion - The Definitive Thread

    When I call, will make sure I say "adding" flights. Hopefully that works. On BA and JL at the moment, including BA cityflyer. Will probably get JL or QF back from Japan, will route anyway I can. If I'm lucky I'll somehow get JL first to SIN followed by some MH flights from SIN-MEL or SIN-SYD...

    Oneworld Classic Flight Reward Discussion - The Definitive Thread

    Should have asked before I booked; 1. BA city flyer counts as oneworld for the purposes of 318k/455k points limit? 2. I booked all legs of my flight except return to Australia. What is the chance that, when I call to add a flight back to Australia, Manila call centre will nuke the whole booking...

    AMEX rejection

    Im thinking to not use an elevated offer, maybe just the public offer on something. Won't try amex plat because that seems to be getting a lot of rejections, maybe plat edge. Honestly who knows.

    AMEX rejection

    I am coming up on 90 days since my last decline. Should be 7 months since last account was opened. Any insights into if different Amex cards might have a higher / lower chance of approval?

    Is your address still AU or US?

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    The reason I ask is because a while back there was a W9 form discussion and somewhere on it it says Under penalty of perjury I certify I am a US person blah blah etc. Not sure there is a need to sign a w9 if you can just add to amex.

    Was this a W9 form? What did you say to ask for it?

    Transfer from velocity to krisflyer if redeeming for SQ flight.

    I transferred my miles and it shows up on the "account summary" page, but the miles total on my dashboard doesn't change and I can't actually use them for a flight...is this normal?

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Assuming 100k points from sign up on a new CC, you would need to apply for 100 CCs, or one per 3.65 days to hit 8 figures. While I am sure that levelnine probably has some magic way to churn that many CCs, I can't imagine that his/her ways are within reach for most of us.

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    I received an unsolicited letter in my US address from Oportun. Did a google and looks like some dodgy person loan provider, anyone have any experience? I'm guessing my US bank sold my details for marketing as they always do.

    Oneworld Classic Flight Reward Discussion - The Definitive Thread

    At the risk of sounding like a negative nancy, if you make any change at any time to your qantas OWA there is a risk you will lose everything because QF agents are intentionally undertrained and therefore likely to make a mistake that nukes everything. Then again, reward ticketing escalations...
