Strategy to obtain US Amex
- Thread starter ithongy
- Start date
It must go to the local deliverers for the last 10,000 miles.
$1.
How about just getting one of the Certified Acceptance Agents mentioned upthread to submit your ITIN application and no investments/property/income in the US necessary to apply.

Just letting you guys know there is a possibility that you will need to go to the Blacktown warehouse to collect the Fedex International Connect package if you want it as soon as possible.
I was willing to make the trek to the warehouse and my package was there to pick up. Admittedly my package was big so they could see it easily. Dont know how 200g packages will be handled though. Maybe it will be handed over to a different carrier.
No sign of the Hilton no annual fee card going through myUS yet but I know its in Sarasota. Approaching the 10 day mark.

Which warehouse/courier company did you pick it up from?
According to Daipost, my card was handed over to another 'partner carrier' in Sydney two days ago! I can't work out which company has it now, the Fedex Intl Connect tracking page has a spot for Local Tracking Number which is currently blank.
Australia Post, It seems:

This is the site I used for the final mile carrier. Same as the DAI Post tracking number: Parcel Right Tracking
They are affiliated with each other. When the status is 'ReceivedToWarehouse', you can choose the pick up option. Also no need to wait for a confirmation email to arrive, you can go on a weekday during work hours and they will help you out.

Thanks for the link. My parcel's status is just "pending" at the moment, with no scheduled delivery date or option to choose pickup. Will keep an eye on it.
Didn’t you have an issue with Amex when you did that last month? And Amex wanted you to do a Notarycam? Or have I got that mixed up?

True, they asked for Notarycam as I didn't have any US id or US passport but it saved me 50 bucks so it was worth it tbh. Took two or three days to get an appointment and two more days to receive documents from Notarycam.Didn’t you have an issue with Amex when you did that last month?

Ah. OK. Sounds like the Notarycam was at no charge then.
So, we can all holiday in Oz, from our homes in Sarasota, I guess.

Oh yes Notarycam was totally free and painless process apart from the time difference. Had to get up 1 AM for a ten minute web call but agent was however very professional and service minded.Ah. OK. Sounds like the Notarycam was at no charge then.

Btw Autopay from Amex to Wise went through earlier this week very smoothly
I don't even need a proper US Bank now thanks to Wise. Amazing service.I also had to use Notarycam with Amex for my first GT card to be sent to OZ. No cost, quick and easy and no need for address verification, utility statements etc. For the second card I waited 10 days and then called and they used the info from my first card to verify me, gave them my OZ address and the card arrived within a week. Worked out cheaper and quicker than relying on myUS.
I've just received my ITIN and I'm wondering whether anyone has successfully managed to get an HIlton Amex Business card without need to provide address verification through utility statements etc. I don't believe approval is possible using GT and without an ITIN however now I have an ITIN I'm hoping they can verify me with the personal Amex cards I have.
