Strategy to obtain US Amex

[albyd]

I just tried to pay my Sydney Water bill with my c1 VX Business card and it didn’t work where it was working previously. Guessing foreign cards have been blocked. I think this ‘party’ is quickly coming to an end (thanks Albo our ‘dear leader’).

Hi RealtimeY

Did you have HSBC send the card to your Australian address, or did it go to a US address?

Also, what made you pick the Elite over the Premier?

US. I called them and they were happy to correct the mailing address to Australia and resend by DHL a couple of days later.

In retrospect I should have checked it before applying.

As mentioned above, I mainly wanted the Priority Pass but the points are nice too.
