Strategy to obtain US Amex

[http_x92]

Tried the QF marketplace to get WW GCs using the Chase card... same issue as other users a few months ago. No problem with US Amexs in the past. Ah well

Did you have a large outstanding balance due to a 0% interest rate promo? I wonder if they were concerned about the risk. I recall you maximised it for Amex in the past and got hit with FR? or was that someone else.

O % with bt fee . Approx $4.8 k .
Never had fr with Amex

I used a CSP to buy a Woolies gc from QF marketplace last week. It posted as a travel 2x category.

BS is very active in all of this, from memory.

I applied for my ITIN a few weeks ago using my passport and Australian address (still on process)
I plan to use the ITIN letter as one of the documents for a US credit card application. Do I need to update the ITIN address to a US address, or is the Australian address fine ?

Did you have to get your Australian passport certified somewhere?

No , only ask copy of passport.

If you’re planning to use it as proof of address, it’ll need to show the address you intend to use on your account.

I got two ITIN letters when I applied: one which was sent to my Australian address (and had my Australian address on it) and the other which was sent to the CAA I see (and had his Texas address on it). Obviously neither of those are particularly helpful when applying for a US card, so I could not use them as address proof (but Amex still asked for a copy anyway so they could see what my ITIN was).
