Strategy to obtain US Amex

[blacksultan]

Decided to apply for the US HSBC Premier.

International Premier members needed to apply by phone.

Similar to other DPs, they sent me a PDF form and I filled it out. Once done, we send the form to someone in HSBC and then they come back and asked for a Proof of Employment, which was easy. Approved 2 days later, calling them in the early morning.

Then I realised it was sent to the mailing address, which is the MyUS Suite. Didnt want to push it too hard to send it to the residential address and make the game obvious, and changing it again might be complicated.

How big is the pdf form ? Did they ask the reason you needed account ? What did you say ?
