    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    I have only tried via online chat. I'll try online instead. I was using online chat anyway to change the addresses, both home and mailing address to my Australian addresses. Yeah I have an address in the US, I use a friend's address.

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Hi I was wondering is it possible to transfer USA AMEX MR points to a krisflyer account in your partners name if they have taken out an additional card under your AMEX GT? I know that typically, when transferring points out of Amex account it restricts transfers to an account not in your...

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Good result. May I ask why you downgraded that card instead of just cancelling? Was it your first US card and you wanted to keep file open for credit history?

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    I just sent over 254,150 aus MR points and I got 171k MR USA so it was about 0.67. The Plat seems like the better option. That's what I went for but I don't yet hold the USA Plat. The Amex Qantas card only allows you to spend the 450 on Qantas flights I believe where as the Plat travel credit...

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Ok so I went ahead and tried for a second GT using my old SSN and was auto rejected immediately. I then done a pre-approval with Capital one using my old SSN and was approved and went ahead and got the C1 platinum card with a $300 line of credit. This will be linked to my new address and my...

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Maybe I should just ask Amex to add my SSN to my existing AMEX GT Credit Card account?

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Thanks for this. Ill set one up and link it to my old SSN. Where can / should I apply for the secured card? Which bank would you recommend? I already have bank accounts with HSBC and capital one but my SSN isnt linked to them.

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    I applied for an AMEX GT using the SSN but I think I done it prematurely i.e. before 3 months of having an AUS Amex and was declined. I was also declined for a HSBC card using my SSN as well. So Then I tried the GT Amex without the SSN and it worked. I may try and apply for a second GT now...

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Yeah it is for sure. However without a credit history its useless for applying for credit cards. I wasn't able to open any US Bank accounts with my SSN either...

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Thanks. What is the process for being eligible for the AMEX Biz cards, does it require an ITIN specifically? I assume a SSN doesn't make you eligible? I have a SSN but haven't been in the USA since 2005 so I have no credit history. I recently got my Amex GT green card without supplying my old...

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    What is the issue with the Chase Cards? From what I have read these are some of the most lucrative cards you can get in terms of bonus points? If you dont mind me asking which 3 amex cards did you choose and which do you reckon are the best value? I think ill apply for a second Amex GT very...

    Yeah 700 is hard to justify without any bonus points this time, when you can just cancel and resign again in 3 months to get the bonus points again

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    I never knew to use it. I just tried and I can see the gold card. Thanks. Do you need to use this to see other cards as well or on other US credit / banking websites? Ive just been approved for my first US AMEX green card. Can I apply for a gold card after 7 days? Ive read upthread people have...

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Yeah it's not easy to do now. I had to enter a half usa and half aus address to even get it to let me add the card. Then PayPal told me the card needed to be verified likely because of the incorrect address. They sent a payment from PayPal to the card with a 4 digit code which I had to enter on...
