I remember I once made a payment with a Westfield eftpos GC at another PO and the lady realized and frantically tried to stop it. She was in a panic as if she was going to lose her job or be read the riot act.

My local doesn’t allow GC even mc/Visa branded cards from being used for bill payments. They heavily enforce it.

Didn’t get one for HSBC. This is the first time I’ve got one of these. Might have to refer to using HSBC as my US transactional (checking) account t if ITIN is problematic for getting checking accounts.

I did also recently get a W9 form from Amex re my checking and HY savings accounts. Has anyone else received one of these? How did you respond?

Did you go to the very end of the application? I think the issue with C1 will be they’ll want US govt issued ID. You might have got that covered already - that’s where my application fell over. I was approved for the Venture but I didn’t have US govt issued ID so my application lapsed.

Agree the $250 MC GC will cheaper to use now. I’m wondering that now part of the business case for these cards will be broken whether they’ll keep having regular ‘sales’. It’s already hard enough to use them with the 5x a day payment limit with the ATO in their ever constant battle to fight...

Thanks for the heads up. I’ll give it a go. Will likely drag the kids along with me. They will kill me if we have to go back hehehe Btw is there a number we can call to get clear on this? I’ve sent them a message online but believe might be more productive to give them a call especially since...

So I was going to make an appointment with NY DMV when I’m there early next year to get non DL ID to have one final crack at C1. Sounds like it’s a non-starter?

Have you found any stock? A Woolies I visited last night had $50 & $100 MC (higher value were gone) and 2 maximum load visa though they’re not part of the promotion. Seems the early bird gets the worm as they say.

I was shut down by Wise even before I could move any money through them. Reading others' experiences on here, I won't pursue an appeal - doesn't seem like a business to trust. I can understand they will shut down anyone whose business threatens their financial license which is fair enough after...

I’ve done it in the past with Explorer rapidly spending up to the limit and paying it down multiple times during the cycle. I’ve now since switched to a charge card so don’t need to do this anymore. Though the US charge cards seem much more generous with their shadow limit. I got a call recently...

I guess that’s what funds our rewards which is why we prefer to use Amex over other cards in our wallet but agree now that those costs are being passed onto consumers … I guess there’s pause to consider.

Does Coles have variable load cards? I know Woolies does though they were mysteriously not available during the rewards promotion. Good luck to those who got them. The Coles $250 promo is good though I’d be interested in DP about larger load options as the $250 are great but a reasonable time...

Having said that, at $2,500 per day, it’s going to be very slow going depending on the size of the bill you’re paying. They’ve got good at enforcing the 10 per person per day rule. Interested in any DPs to get to buy multiple parcels.

i have a fair amount of credit in my t-mobile account and they keep emailing me reminders to top up or else I’ll lose my number. Doesn’t make sense as everyone I’ve spoken to at T mobile asks me to top up though I have so much credit why would I top up further?

I I've tried unfort with no success.

Yeah, I agree, we're probably over-thinking it. I like and use my US Amex cards so I don't want to put them in jeopardy but understand their motivations may be tamer than we give them credit for.

Thanks for the heads up. I've spoken to a 3rd agent who added my Business Platinum but couldn't help me add my other cards. Says there's a known bug with iOS18 which is preventing cards from being added. I'd deleted the cards from my old iPhone to try to get this to work. Hopefully they don't...

I got a new iPhone 16 yesterday - my US cards were working fine on my old iPhone. They now can't be added to my iPhone. Is this something the early adopters have also experienced? How do we get around it? I've tried using VPN on my iPhone among other strategies but none work. When I call AMEX...

Hilton Auckland Booked: KING DELUXE HARBOUR VIEW Received: KING DELUXE HARBOUR VIEW PLUS Status: Diamond I stayed here 2 nights on my way back to AU. I'd originally redeemed points then used my Amex Platinum Reserve Credit and paid the $100 difference. When I checked in, I quickly realised I...
