Strategy to obtain US Amex

[Franko Costa]

The 5x on travel and the unlimited priority pass membership

Biggest downside is it taking up a chase 5/24 slot. I understand that chase isn't as OP vs 24 months ago, but it's worth the consideration. PP is a standard among all other premium cards - I have no idea how many I have

Vaguely remember this being discussed previously. Got asked to do a W9 form for Chase for a new application (just asking business name and providing ITIN). The form looks easy to fill out - is it better just talking to the security back end team and verbally confirming it on the phone?

Reapplied for the HSBC US card after opening an Australian HSBC Premier card and using it for 3 months. This time, got approved through the manual PDF application.
Was asked for Australian proof of address and income details.

Whats the actual process ?

Does it actually take a slot, though? I didn't provide my ITIN or US address/phone number. Would they still be able to work this out?

Just emailed the relationship manager and told them I am interested to re-apply for the card. A pre-filled form was sent through which I had to sign online and send back.

Is there a discount to the AF given you're premier?

Not with restaurants though!

Nope, I think that used to be the case maybe?
