Strategy to obtain US Amex

[cathalm8]

Update, I called them to expedite it. They won't send it to Australia because it's my "first card". Even though I had one back in 2023. It already shows up in online banking as I had an account before. I have a dedicated US Google Play phone but I can't set up Barclays app without the card number.

They will Fedex it to Torrance. This is my first time using the PE address for a card. What should I expect with a Fedex envelope? Will they email me when it arroves? How do I get them to send it to Australia?

Found my answer, all good

Would you happen to have that link handy? Not sure I even need a NLL link as neither me or p2 have had Amex Plat before...

Amex Platinum Card 175K NLL Offer, Check Links

New NLL offer for Amex Platinum Card: Earn 175K Membership Rewards® Points after you spend $8,000 on purchases on your new Card in your first 6 months of Card Membership.

There are 3 links. I tried for few months but they never worked.
Link 2 worked for me in regular browser mode (not incognito) I've 2 profiles - one for personal and other for business cards. Link 2 didn't work when logged in from personal profile but worked using biz login this all might be random but after all hit & trial it worked.....

Any recommendations for next best card to get? Currently on 5/24 until Jan 2025 because of a additional card i got on one of my p2 amex's.

I've had AMEX green, gold, cap 1 secure card, CSP and additional card from P2.

Which other cards / banks are good to try? thanks

Edit: Just tried applying for the 'up to 175k' offer on the AMEX Personal Plat via a referral and it said I wasnt eligible for the offer so I withdrew my app. I am wondering if this means I am now in pop up jail? And if so is there anything I can do?

Additional cards can be disregarded by chase if you call them for recon .

Just got instant approval for the Barclays Aviator card. Does anyone know if you can get these cards sent to Australia if its your first card with Barclays?

No, I had to have them send it to Planet Express and pay for forwarding. I did try, they said no.
