I might order the t-mobile $3 month deal you mentioned and that @ steveyyf has purchased. Hopefully I can then set up GV just for text messaging through t-mobile and other Voip for calling.

If you turn on VPN you can almost set up GV but seem to get stuck when trying to add the US number from the list available. Is the issue you need a physical landline or physical mobile to verify? Same as shipping the SIM card really. Also emailed iPlum customer support and they advised they do...

Frustrating and I read on a forum someone signed up for an iPlum account and could receive SMS from Capital One. I just tried it and paid $4.99 USD for a monthly number and no SMS received. This is going to be costly just trial and error until something works.

Thanks for the heads up and feel I am close but always a little road block with this US credit card game. Will have to try other methods but looking online lots of expats are frustrated with Capital One and the verification sms process. Difficult as lots of different services online but some...

Any luck for you @ Finale with receiving sms messages from Capital One?

Do you need to VPV in order to set up google voice for text messaging in US?

Success!!! Thank you all who just submitted this information. I actually tried Capital One a few weeks ago but I think my downfall was trying to add funds straight away from TransferWise and it denied me. Just followed instructions now and a few nerve racking moments, first the operators said...

Yesterday when I transferred the points no mention of the transfer bonus T&Cs but now it is very visible. Great to see the first transfer bonus but disappointed it is not ongoing. Still remember the good old SPG days when Marriott took over and we were receiving 4.5 Marriott per dollar using the...

Just transferred Amex points to Marriott and was very pleasantly surprised to see a new transfer rate of 6:5 and then also noticed Hilton now 8:5 Being a huge Marriott fan this is very welcome news indeed.

Been thinking the same question and keen to try but not many options so far in Canberra. Almost keen to order $30 in Subway just to find out.

Having some issues with credit.com and when I enter my new ITIN number I get an error message and get kicked out. Trying now to open a HSBC Premier account so I can verify my address when opening new AMEX cards otherwise will have to pay the 1500USD approx. to open Bank of America checking...

The team at EIN express who helped get the ITIN also do the below. About $1500 more than I would be willing to pay but having 150K in HSBC products seems excessive also. We offer our Remote US Personal Bank Account Opening Service with Bank of America for $1,797 We offer our Remote US...

Great feedback and will turn it down a notch now and wait until it is the right time. I only have the Bonvoy Brilliant card and a credit score of 749 opened last November so under 1 year would part of the issues I am having. Maybe if I had applied for the Aspire today without changing my...

Great advice and I should of waited a bit longer today to come up with a game plan. I got too excited and tried to apply for multiple checking accounts and got denied, then attempted to apply for Amex Green card but had to call Amex and they wanted to call my bank to verify new address and I...

I have now signed up for PostScanMail and have an address in Long Beach California. Also used an online notary to sign off on my USPS form to send mail to the California address. The question is now do I change my Amex US address and then apply for a new card with ITIN attached so the link of...

Some more updates regarding payments, credit limit and ITIN. 1. Small payment of 34USD went through without issues or any fees (will pay in announce under 500USD moving forward. 2. Amex US sent an email advising my credit limit has increased to 6,500USD 3. The IRS has issued my ITIN number...

Maybe as a premium or metal account holder?

TransferWise and Revolut do not allow “for further payment” not exactly sure why not but I did try when I first got my card and the payment was declined and a black mark against my Amex profile.

Was just charged 10USD when paying the balance using Revolut/TransferWise to Citi to Amex on amount 914.25USD. Last time I tried no fee on a small amount. Slightly annoying as now have to send another 10USD and surely they can’t charge 10USD if only sending 10USD. Has anyone worked out the...

Yes received some material as organise corporate travel and will be JW Marriott. My concern is it will move to category 6.
