Strategy to obtain US Amex

I think it's this entry which is the issue:

I had to "move" when mine was identified by C1 as such. My new one is fine though they insist on US government issued ID before they will issue me a card. They even went so far as to approve me then deny me when I couldn't provide this item. My AU passport just wouldn't do.

I suggest as a fair port of call to "move".

Others may have different approaches which might work better.

YMMV.

I was away for a while, is there something happening TO Las Vegas Address? Amex told me it is flagged as USPS Address hence he could not use that address to send me the card. Been trying different without APT and PMB , not successful

It changed a few months ago. Basically means it’s time to move at least your residential address.

As expected, it looks like the using the US Amex statement for the physical address validation did not work out for the CSP application.

I will eventually need another US bank account apart from Wise. Looks like a venture to the US is calling if I really want one - it looks like opening one is hard to do it online with an ITIN these days.

HSBC was dead simple for me. Opening my Aus account at a branch in Sydney allowed me to bypass the 6 month wait for Premier, I signed up for my US account a few days later, then waited 30 days for statement to generate and Chase happily accepted (this was about 2-3 months ago)
