    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Tough - clearly seems C1 and ITIN are only a matter of time for now - maybe the business cards would be ok but you would have to think that if cheque/saving and personal are out that will happen to business too

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Damn - lots of DP recently on reddit about C1 closing down and fraud blocking lots of people - its really becoming difficult for non us people to have their accounts - not sure if at KYC thing but it makes me think is it worth burning a 5/24 spot for C1 when odds you may not get to keep it

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Thanks - that was kind of the my thinking - I think will try a INK first as most likely to get autoapproved - and then work on CSRB if I strike lucky
