Strategy to obtain US Amex

[blacksultan]

How did you go with BoA? Did you get the card?

I'm still tossing up between trying for another Barclays AAviator before they get retired. Or Barclays Hawaiian or BoA Alaska. But I can't do a big minimum spend for a few months and I would need to get the card sent from PE.

I haven’t completed and returned their forms yet !

Hi Mate,
Thank you so much for detailed explanation, it's much appreciated. I spent 1.5 hours yesterday talking with security team, customer service, escalation team, CDG team, couples of supervisors. Still unable to have my card registered, but ask loads of verification CDG team did say my account is fully verified.
I almost given up registering online banking but after saw your post, I thought I might give one more try, believe or not, it worked this time!!! I followed these steps before but never had any luck.
Not sure what changed now, but anyway, thank you so much. A bit of a journal for p2's first chase card, but we got there.

I could not do it online and had to get P2 to call - that was the annoying part for me.

Could you get it done online?

I think it has to be done via the phone.

Alaska is announcing Atmos in the next 2 days so it might be worth keep an eye out before anything!

I was finally able to buy ABNB $25 egift card from Staples using the $20 Flexi business credit on Amex Biz Gold only to discover that ABNB GC now have geo-restriction in place.
I've $40 to burn for next 7-8 months is there any other GC I should focus on which will work here?

Buy a $20 Target e-gift card and sell somewhere like Aligned Incentives.

I applied and was instantly approved. Card will hopefully show up in Torrance. The deciding factor was no minimum spend and last chance to get this card for easy AA miles.

@blacksultan you had one sent to Torrance, right? How long did it take? Did you try to have it sent to Australia?

 

[Tiki]

Update, I called them to expedite it. They won't send it to Australia because it's my "first card". Even though I had one back in 2023. It already shows up in online banking as I had an account before. I have a dedicated US Google Play phone but I can't set up Barclays app without the card number.

They will Fedex it to Torrance. This is my first time using the PE address for a card. What should I expect with a Fedex envelope? Will they email me when it arroves? How do I get them to send it to Australia?
