Thanks for all the advices. I’ve managed to activate the card today. Somehow, Chase system decided to let the rep calling me back on the same $3 SIM.

Thanks for the reply. Did CS/Fraud team mention callback was the only option for verification? I’ve already tried a few times and all failed. The CS even told me a senior analyst would call me back in 24-48 hours twice but yet happen.

Just a DP. I had the same experience. They ended up closing my checking account and sent me a cheque even when they agreed to do a bank transfer. Having said that, the amount did include the sign-up bonus.

Recently, I got approved for Chase Marriott and have requested card to be shipped to Oz as some suggested previously. Everything went perfectly until it arrived lately and I tried to activate it on the phone (couldn’t do it on the web / app). I was transferred to Fraud team and they needed to...

Did AMEX ask for any supporting documents to be submitted by fax / post?

Yes. That’s the one you should be using. It’ll incur a small fee per transaction. I’ve sent 2x $251 at the same time and it did trigger the cashback.

I had the same issue previously. Make sure you initiate the transfer by using ACH from within Wise but not the pre-authorised deposit via C1 linked account.

Thanks for the info. Will give it a go shortly.

May I know how did you do that with IBKR? Did you open an AU / US account with IBKR. I tranferred 2x $250 from WISE but it didn't trigger the bonus. Now, I'm looking for an alternative. Thanks

Got the same error. Unable to add an external account. Will try to do the deposit a bit later

Do you need anything else other than ITIN (e.g. LLC, EIN) to open up Amex Biz CCs?

Finally, I've gotten my checking account open. Just a matter of luck finding an easy going rep.

I've followed your path. Submitted an online application and was asked to call the number provided. During the call, I completed the ID check with the link provided but then asked to talk to another team for account activation. The first Q he asked was my SSN which I obviously don't have. I told...

From my experience, you'll have to open a new Gmail account based in the US (VPN may be required). Tried with my AU Gmail with US VPN on kept throwing numbers cannot be linked. BTW, thank you for sharing the tips of opening the checking account

Happy for you. May I know what address did you provide when opening C1 checking account? Did they ask you for the reasons why you were opening the account offshore? Thanks in advance

I did a transfer a week or 2 ago. It took 2 days to show up in my KrisFlyer account. FYI, I made few transfers previously.

Thanks for the confirmation

Would like to confirm if the MC you received is MC World Elite or just normal MC?

I did have a similar experience as what you had. My CC application was rejected for some unknown reasons even if I was holding a platinum charge card. Calling platinum service hotline did not help much either. 2 weeks after, I re-submitted my application and it went through without any issue...
