Strategy to obtain US Amex

[georgie23]

i went through FR 6 month ago - they wont care about income just seeing that money is going in and. can pay the account and they wont accept any overseas statements or sources - they wont question where the money is coming from.
Are you paying P2 cards from P2 bank account - if so you should be fine.
Others who were shut down by amex after events like this were refunded annual fee i believe - you get 30 days to transfer out your points
good luck
in relation to airline refund - if they can process it and pay if now so it comes off what you owe them go for it but if need to get a check or bank transfer from airline if amount is more than what you owe amex may be easier to wait

Thank you, George. That’s very helpful.. I owe an amex about 23k at the moment and my Check only has 5K unit and unfortunately p2 have been using my checking to pay off the credit card previously.
My checking doesn’t have much transactions.
