    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    The problem is they'll probably ask for proof of address. The pre-approval is still conditional so I doubt they'll approve it

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Just got approved for the Chase IHG One Premier. Initially applied and was requested to provide proof of address and DOB - sent in passport and Amex statement. Called recon line after a couple of days of no response and was told the documents were illegible and I also needed to provide an SSN...

    Qantas reciprocal relationship with KLM/Air France (2020 onwards)

    If it helps, I flew on Air France as a Silver Member and Extra Checked Baggage Allowance meant I was able to bring an extra piece of luggage up to 23kg. As I was on J it meant I could bring 3 bags instead of 2. I assume KLM would be similar.

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    For those who have acquired an Amex through GT and are trying to get a checking account for future non Amex cards has anyone used the Amex's checking account. The website seems to say I'm eligible with my existing Amex account but not sure if this would count as a proper checking account that I...

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Yes, it happened to me both times and was fairly straightforward. They just wanted to confirm a few details and give me the card terms before accepting.

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Interestingly submitted a request for an itin through sh studio today but didn't end up paying at that time. Initially was quoted $349. I was emailed by them a day later to say they'd received my application and to go through with it to make a payment of $280 to complete it. I'm not sure if the...

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Just got approved for second Amex (Green) via GT. Interestingly was having lots of trouble using global transfer via my UK amex with them asking for tax returns and address confirmation but logged in through my old Amex Aus account and applied through there. Got approved straightaway despite my...

    Qantas reciprocal relationship with KLM/Air France (2020 onwards)

    I've a flight booked on Air France J as a classic reward via Qantas (SIN-CDG). Does anyone know if that means you get access to the QF lounge in SIN? It seems like it's an AF flight number so that would lead me to think no, but since it's booked via QF as a reward seat thought I might get lucky.

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    All worked okay in the end. Amex did leave out the suite number and MyUS matched it automatically but because of the incorrect suite number I was charged an $8.99 "address correction fee". Slightly annoying but at least it's sorted now

    QR returning to CBR

    Yes definitely. I had this happen in October when Qatar was meant to start flying and on my return leg the Canberra part was cancelled. I booked through Qantas and no matter how many people I called I was told that I would need to find my own way from Melbourne to Canberra (after the plane...

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Just to add another point. Submitted an application for the HH Aspire via global transfer team. Used MyUS for address and Hushed for phone number. Got asked to call Amex to verify some details. They asked me to confirm name, date of birth and address and approved me! Didn't ask about a bank...
