Strategy to obtain US Amex

[georgie23]

Don't rush into it - eventually sure they will reship - but i imagine you will have to prove name change with ID and notary cam etc

I tried the Cap1 VX credit card pre-approval tool again today and much to my surprise, it responded in the positive! The only verification requested is identification - but they specifically asked for state issued ID, so it'll be interesting to see whether a passport upload is sufficient.

good luck - some have had success and others haven't - report back

Please let us know how you go. They wanted US state issued ID from me & wouldn’t accept my AU passport.

Should have tried hack of usps mail forwarding before applying

What is this ?

Interestingly the C1 checking account application now specifically stops you from proceeding once you select ‘non resident’

Yes and also interestingly, the pre-approval tool for the VX now also asks the same question, but allows the application to proceed even if you say no to being a citizen or resident - was not expecting that!

thought we were "residents" just not citizens. I reside at the address I've given. Just don't have US state issued ID like a DL. They do have US state issued ID kind of like the proof of age card for non-drivers.

It’s been discussed upthread, but if you say you are a resident, the next step would previously force you to fill out a W9 form:

"Here is the W-9 form that we generated based on your responses
Under the penalties of perjury, I certify that:
...
3. I am a US citizen or other US person and
..."

Anyone purchased from USA Canon with USA Credit Cards while oversea and could go passed their Payment Error please? I did try VPN but still not taking my card payment - bank confirmed no issue with the bank

Finally got my ITIN linked to Amex with a new Green Card (only the normal SUB at this point, don't think the 60k + 200 is happening for a while).

I guess YMMV but during the bonus period 1:2.6 for MR -> Hilton doesn't sound half bad (40k MR -> 104k HH points). But open to airlines if a bonus transfer arises.
