Yes the resort credit and airline credit are my biggest concerns in getting the card, although I do like using AA miles for the zonal benefit in Australia, the only resort is Gold Coast if we are stuck for a little while and spoilt with JW Marriott Gold Coast (upgrading after refurbishment) and...

How are you finding the Aspire now it has been awhile? Covid making it hard obviously to use the benefits but long term do you think it is worth the annual fee? I am a huge Marriott fan so the Bonvoy Brilliant was my first choice and am very happy.

So you have now done this twice using global transfer from Australia. I believe we all have done it this way first time around but have not been game to do it again.

Ok thanks and no need for the for further credit comment it seems.

Just received my Citi Global and wanted to confirm the below is the area you put FFC your name and account number? Using Transferwise to fund the global account and the fee seems to be a flat 4.60USD regardless of the ammount. Payment Details: FEDWIRE-021000021.FFC NAME ACCOUNT NUMBER

Would you switch back? Or the FICO score not something you are interested in. Having the cards sent straight to Oz would be tempting though.

What score did you receive?

Great journey to the Prestige and kicking myself I never opened a checking account over the years. Do you use a mail forwarding address or have friends/family to assist?

How did you apply without ITIN? Prestige also their best card so you have done well.

Brilliant news @ Finale and agree that the Premier is probably the best card now for Aussies playing the game. Shame that Amex only counts US for bonus categories unlike Citi and Chase otherwise we wouldn’t have to jump so many hurdles. Now that we are playing the US game is it possible to...

Fantastic data point with Citi and will be my first non Amex once I receive ITIN. What Chase card did you apply for? Wonder if some are easier than others. Have my eyes on IHG and Preferred if possible. Nervous wait for Chase but fingers crossed you succeed.

Yes $400USD so approx the $565AUD I just ran out of ideas how to get one, reviews on Kindle book sales seemed to be hit or miss, emailed all registered US agents based in Australia and none got back to me, Greenback tax services offered to help submit tax return but not ITIN, looked into WeBull...

Not cheap for the service, $565AUD and just needed my passport.

Yes declared $421or so the agent put it down, that must be the minimum amount. Not sure what my plan will be once I do receive it and will also need another mail forward address as MYUS only good for premium cards that come in the box and tracking.

Quick update, just had my interview to verify my passport for ITIN application and the agent advised IRS working on 50% capacity and are currently processing March ITIN's. Wait time 6 - 8 months approx and the agent will receive an original copy of the ITIN and I will receive an original copy...

FICO score 744 from US Amex since November last year so good to go.

Exciting times @tlam and I am in a similar position as my W-7 IRIS Form has been completed and my 2019 IRS 1040R also with a similar $500 income. Quick interview scheduled for Thursday to verify my passport and hopefully ITIN coming soon. Now to work out the next step in this journey, I was...

If paying tax I see no reason why not, was thinking about the referrals and a shame we all couldn’t refer each other and get some more extra benefits.

Is the below anything to worry about? My latest statement Summary of changes, Effective August 1, 2020 How to make payments - We will no longer accept payments made in a foreign currency or a payment drawn on an account at a bank located outside of the U.S

If it is a percentage than Revolut is a non starter but fixed would be a jackpot. Can you try $400 for example and see the fee without completing? As mentioned Transferwise was approx 20AUD for 1600USD.
