    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Well that is a brilliant use of the certs and will be worth 1000's nice job! I think I need to think big picture with the Aspire card if I get it and using it at Waldorf Astoria's is a fantastic way.

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    I helped a colleague get the Hilton Aspire and he stayed at the Hilton Parmelia and received an upgrade to a suite and was very happy indeed with the stay. For the members on here who get the Amex personal and business Bonvoy cards it is a tremendous opportunity to receive lifetime status down...

    Nice one and I just completed a stay at Sheraton Grand Mirage Gold Coast and was very satisfying plonking down the Bonvoy Brilliant card when checking in. I also had the seafood buffet lunch and received 20% off the bill for elite status and received the statement credit for the lunch within 2...

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    @ Finale I called Chase today and they advised they have sent me a letter asking for more details and presume it’s the letter verifying ID etc. Do you happen to still know the fax number you used to send docs? I am thinking my PostScanMail box will take too long to receive so might get on the...

    Congratulations on the approval! My status has changed to 7-10 days message and I guess it’s time to call up and plead my case. Standard questions this time? Address, ITIN, mobile, county? I always get nervous calling 😬

    Bonvoy Boundless? All the bloggers go crazy over Hyatt but need a bigger footprint or a leisure destination/resort closer to home would be nice.

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Just called the automated line and now says you will be notified in writing within 30 days. The signup and waived annual fee is really fantastic at present and for my circumstances would gain far more value with the IHG card than Hilton or Hyatt. Will have to get my courage up and speak to...

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Hi Rohit, I had to wait until I received the physical card (it was my first US Amex card) and the shipping was very quick although can't recall if it was overnight or standard. My second US Green card I could add to Apple Pay straight away so not sure if it is the order I applied or the type of...

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    For the Chase experts out there, I just applied for the HG Rewards Club Premier Credit Card and the decision was (see below) seems like by all accounts and DP's online, flowcharts and blogs it should say We'll notify you "within 30 days" or something similar days. Can't seem to find out if this...

    Same with me and multiple times with Amex and Cap1 had to make some excuse up why I can’t receive text messages like old iPhone etc. Now hopefully no such issue. 1607501017 Oops a bit confused textNow and textPlus different options.

    Hi everyone, big news on the SMS verification front and hopefully this can help the Chase issues also. So I logged onto AMEX US and it had the option to add my card to Apple Pay so tried to add it but they sent a SMS code to enter and my textPlus number did not work so thought I would try my...

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Just checked and the address is EIN Express INC 6300 Canoga Ave Suite 1740 Woodland Hills CA 91367. If seems maybe not to matter. I cannot recall the source but I believe someone mentioned that you cannot add the ITIN to existing Amex card and such I wanted to get a 2nd Amex with ITIN attached...

    The $560 I paid to get the ITIN number is hopefully now paying off. Big commitment but useful for applications moving forward.

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Just got approved for my 2nd US Amex (green card) and you have to hold your nerve and have the information at hand. Applied online using Amex US login and got the "We need more information" and please call. So I called up and he asks the normal address and phone number questions and then says...

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    So my attempt was a bit of a failure but a learning process I suppose. Logged on using US Amex login and applied for Amex Green card using my new ITIN number and got the dreaded please call to verify some details. The rep wanted to do a 3 way call with my bank to verify my address (it was a new...

    Tricky really as my attempt at 2nd Amex card resulted in please call to verify and they wanted to call the bank for address purposes. So cones down to HSBC allowing the address change.

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    When I recently applied for my 2nd Amex card they wanted to call my bank to confirm the address, how would that work with HSBC Premier? Can you change address to US from Australia at some stage?

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Depending how I go with Capital One checking account and if it viable or not but if I went the HSBC route the plan would be to deposit and withdraw 9K per month and then after opening US Premier account would you then also have to deposit and withdraw USD2K per month for US Premier? I think that...
