Strategy to obtain US Amex

[Darkpulsar]

HSBC DP:
- Applied online - only AU contacts used, no plans to move to US
- Email query 25 hours later asking if monthly wires from Australia will be from HSBC AU or OFI (application asked if will have monthly in/outward international payments)
- Replied to email 8 hours later
- Accounts opened (Premier checking, relationship savings, premier savings) 12 hours after reply
- Email from Welcome Care Advisor 24 hours after accounts opened asking to book appointment to discuss accounts, debit card delivery

Specified in application that was interested in CCs which I assume the Welcome Care Advisor will also handle.

Overall very seamless process, total time from application to account opening <48 hours

Hi everyone,
I am currently a HSBC Premier customer, and would like to open a US HSBC Premier checking account.
Is this the correct link to open the US checking account ?

Applying for a U.S. Premier Checking Account – HSBC Bank Account
