    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Thanks! And thanks! Regarding the credit limit, the Surpass card I got has a fairly low credit limit. If I were to pay the ATO in batches (pay say $1000, then pay off the card via Wise) and repeat within the month...would this be possible and not have a negative affect on the account?

    Another question - can you pay the ATO with your US Amex and receive full points and for it to count towards the minimum spend?

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Does anyone know if closing a charge card affects your credit score? I have the gold (12 months open) and green charge card (6 months open). No retention bonus offered on the gold just yet. Alternatively I could look to downgrade it to another green card.

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Hi everyone, had the wife do a GT and they need a statement confirming her name. Been at a stand still for a month now, the agent has said they won't accept a WISE statement. Are there any other quick options? Otherwise would have to go down the route of HSBC Premier

    Similar to me - opened a Gold charge card May 23. Green card in Oct 23. FICO sept initially was ~680 and now it's dropped to 660's. Pay all the accounts on time and put a small amount of spend on the cards. I tried a 3rd GT for a Hilton Aspire but was in pop up jail.

    Amex "I'm going to cancel my card" - bonus points given thread.

    I discussed the massive deval of SQ, Net-a-porter discount and mediocre cashback offers. She didn't pay much attention but caught on about me discussing points - then offered 70k. Tried to wriggle more but she was firm on the 70k saying it was computer generated. I have a large pile of points...
