Strategy to obtain US Amex

[blacksultan]

Just sounded quite convoluted - was mainly just amused at them suggesting it!

Oh ok . I found it quite strange as well . But great option if it’s true .

How will you change how you use your US cards going forward ?

I think we’ll see what happens. I reckon that what happened in the UK is a good example of what might happen.. some merchants like govt. billers will BIN block foreign cards and others will surcharge them.

Individual face to face merchants will likely allow them and play the DCC game with us.

In short, I’ll keep using them and see what happens. I reckon it will take time to roll out the changes to merchant terminals much like it took hospitality businesses to roll surchargjng out. I think it will be much faster this time around. YMMV
