Strategy to obtain US Amex

[GDale]

I have a new ITIN, approved for a secured card with Capital One Quicksilver Card.

I’m opening a checking account with them.

They’re literally the only bank I’ve had any success with in terms of a credit card approval. Very hard it seems now to open bank accounts without doing it in person.

Did Cap1 ask you for ID verification for the credit card?

I applied and was conditionally approved. I decided I’ll get it to build my credit.

It was sent for review. I had to upload my ITIN and my passport, it was then approved a day or two later.

I didn’t need to provide anything else beyond that.

Wow that's a great data point in that case! Many of us (me included) have struggled to get a Cap1 card because they only seemed to accept US driver licenses. Did you apply using a US VPN at all?
