Strategy to obtain US Amex

my fool credit still not arrived yet on my amex green card, i did purchase on 29 Jan.
and also i actually got charged over 107, which is over 99 maybe due to tax.

Interesting. My Aspire was billed, and now credited, $99.00 exactly, for both. No added amount.

billed means you got the statement for the month?

... I did notice that after they added mail to my membership my suite number has changed to Mxx_xx instead of only numerical ...

Just to confirm, has MyUS changed your Suite number by just adding the letter ‘M’ to your previous number? So, same number, but just with the ‘M’ at the start? Assuming ‘M’ for mail?

Just thinking this through, before my next attempt to have mail included, despite two rejections from MyUS so far.

May i also ask when you pay with credit card, what billing address did you put there? US address or Australia address?

I added US address and my welcome pack arrived already at PostScanMail.

Always the Sarasota address (Express Lane) for billing on the US card, being also my place of ‘residence’.

interesting! Sarasota, FL sale tax is 7%?
I checked mine bill - the additional $7 is sale tax. so 99+7 = 106.

Yes, but what in what state is your billing address? Is yours in FL? Just to confirm.

Certainly no tax applied on my Aspire card.

These are states they collect sales tax. Florida not there?

Bloody hell if we got pinned 7% every time would be a shambles. I thought Florida was the place to retire because no taxes.

FL does not have a state income tax but sales tax Definitelythe place to live when you are still working. I like golf and was wondering before why there were so many golfers living there.
