Also for a data point I just signed up for a Qantas wine subscription and I put it on my Bonvoy Brilliant card and the transaction comes up as Qantas Wine and earns the 3 x multiplier for airfare. Aspire card members would in theory earn the 7 x multiplier.

Hi Rohit, I was surprised by your recent posts as my experience is I send to XE and approx 2 hours later they have received the money and approx 2 hours later have sent it and then AMEX US sends an email the next day "We've received your payment" You're all set, but give us 24 - 36 hours for you...

For the Hilton Aspire card members, are you using the card for everyday purchases? 3 x points per US dollar. Bloggers in America seem to think this is a terrible idea but for Australia and our Amex cards earning 2 MR points for 1 Hilton point it seems to be great value.

I have Transferwise and it works much the same as Revolut it seems, my work colleague who I helped set up the Aspire card was lucky enough to travel to Vegas last year and opened a Wells Fargo checking account and now just transfers from Transferwise to Wells Fargo and then pays US Amex without...

XE money transfer costs 20USD (approx 30AUD) and HSBC Premier $35 account service fee. I am missing some benefits to the HSBC path?

Is the requirement 200K to open the HSBC Premier account? I feel opening a US account is more achievable than 200K investment.

I think if you are Platinum or higher with Marriott than an argument could be made that it is better than the Aspire card. $300 travel credit so easy to use plus 50K certificate and so many Marriott properties in Australia to use. 1590753059 Although now I have the Bonvoy Brilliant want the...

Rohit what was your reason to get the Green first? MyUS for delivery for the Green or something else? I have the Bonvoy Brilliant myself.

Yes my first Amex card so well could be the reason and maybe a reason to get another one 😉 Great data points on the Amazon route and a risky proposition at $100 per attempt. Would be interested in an alternate method? Maybe a small investment in US shares to qualify for ITIN number. I have the...

@albyd Thanks for the update and great news on the HSBC front. The CSP would compliment the US Amex cards we have all acquired perfectly. FICO score option is available for me but when clicking on it advises "Sorry, your FICO Score is unavailable at the moment"

Also has anyone been able to access their FICO score on the AMEX site? I have had the Bonvoy Brilliant card since November but FICO score still unavailable.

@albyd Any news on the ITIN number? With all this time home in ISO the mind seems to wonder over to the great Chase credit card applications. How is everyone getting on with their US Amex cards and has anyone found a way to maximise or use the increased earn rates on US Supermarkets? Luckily...

Although maybe not to complain as I seem to have received 600 Qantas Points for $300 shopping on AMEX QF. Edge for the other shops.

My 05 May just posted but missing 01, 03 and 04 May. Getting a bit addictive 🤣might need to step it up.

I have 7 x emails all over $100 spend so waiting patiently.

Was that buying gift cards with the 2K bonus Flybuys? I chatted AMEX today and they just advised they are working on the correct points and sorry for the inconvenience. I also asked if the points will be backdated when fixed and said yes they will so carry on spending.

Thanks for the data point as the Aspire will be my next card, the reason I mentioned it was I helped my work colleague get the Aspire and his was sent in a standard letter format but used a Hawaiian address.

Just to clarify, I was under the assumption the Hilton Aspire card and Green card (unboxing videos utube) are sent in a regular letter and such you would be required to upgrade to mail and package plus fill in application for delivery of mail form. Bonvoy Brilliant which I received is sent in a...

What card did you get?

Interesting information provided regarding how to look up if a mail forwarding address is listed as commercial mail receiving agency or not and PostScanMail is a yes. 1582332036 4283 Express Lane however is a no.
