Strategy to obtain US Amex

Weird never heard of an issue with Oz mobile carrier

Something to do with the verification thing that pops up when you pay the bill online. I have used Citi for Foxtel, AGL, rates, Origin. Just Vodafone does this.

I've recently experienced this with OnePasss mobile (the old catch connect).

Debuted credit score after 7mo: FICO 8 EQ 723

Thankfully amex correctly linked even though they don't have ITIN yet. Interestingly HSBC doesn't report to TU but this seems to be by choice judging by a few articles on it

Just made a purchase. The charge shows as the hotel name. Will report back on the actual credit.

The charge posted as Hilton Queenstown and have received the $200 credit.

AIUI the normal recommendation is to get a 2nd Amex using ITIN then give it a few months (6 or more) for credit history to build before trying for a non-Amex?

As a normal global transfer ?

I thought it was GT for first one, wait 6m, then normal application for 2nd but using ITIN, then wait another 6m before non-Amex - that's what I'm following but happy to be corrected or guided by others who've gone through it before!
