Strategy to obtain US Amex

What about "fancy" cards like the Platinum? I agree, basic cards, come in a plain envelope.

My Business Platinum also came in a box, a smaller version of the personal Platinum box.

ok thanks for the heads up. I'll wait an extra day to see what comes across as the pic I've received of the envelope, it doesn't look like much of anything whereas I think the platinum will be more ostentatious of sorts.

Certainly the Hilton Aspire Amex came in a box and was flagged as a package by my forwarded - I ended up picking up in person when visiting the US rather than shipping it onwards, as I'd timed my application for an upcoming trip

Has anyone successfully been able get an Experian credit report through Myfico with an ITIN?

Myfico failed to retrieve my Experian report due to missing SSN. I responded telling them I have an ITIN and no SSN so there is nothing to update. But wondering if I should pursue further with experian.

You can mail and they can physically post you a copy of your credit file - only way I know of

Just a quick one. I've previously received a US Platinum Personal AMEX. My forwarder Anytime Mailbox refused delivery and I was able to get it to AU as I was "travelling". I've taken up an upgrade offer from my Green Business to AEBP. Something has arrived from Amex in a plain envelope. Before I press the button and get them to forward it and it's not my card (I believe the forwarder won't accept cards, so I'm not game to get them to open the envelope and scan the contents, just checking in as I'm sure other people who follow this thread have received an AEBP before. Does it come in a plain envelope or "fancier" packaging like the personal Platinum?

Recently (December) opened a new ABP, came in the same sort of fancy box, via courier instead of USPS, that APP, Bonvoy Brilliant and Aspire came in. Green, Gold and Surpass were just attached to a normal letter.
