Strategy to obtain US Amex

[blacksultan]

I have applied a new US Amex credit card and wait for 10 days to get a replacement card.
Adding mailing address as Australian address to account, will that be any issue?
anyone did this before?

Should not be any issues

Has anyone had issues putting larger amounts of spend on Chase Cards recently? I'm looking to spend around 12-13K USD on a car purchase through a dealership. I've been putting smaller spend on the CSP since approval in December 23' and have two other Chase cards. I'd rather not go through fraud review if this amount of spend automatically triggers it. Unfortunately I can't use Amex as they don't take it.

If the card is old large purchases should not matter .

Agree - new card - second statement and I put through about 7K this month (spread out over the month) - if its well below what your monthly limit is can't see too much of an issue
Why not break it into 3 smaller parts over a few days if that works

You could buy. $1000 visa gift cards from office works using your Amex and then use them at the dealer .

Not a bad idea. Might need to mix it up a little to avoid the 1.5% merchant fee surcharge that kicks in over 5k. Does anyone know if an Officeworks gift card gives 5x Points on the Business Ink Cash card? Other Officeworks purchases have worked for me. If so that might be another option.

Yes I was buying Officeworks gift cards to make my minimum spend and I got 5x. I also used a subsequent card, the Ink Unlimited a few months later to put about $6000 AUD from a car dealer with no issues. I do have about 15 years of history with Chase though. YMMV
