I managed to put $5700 on my Ink with $6000 credit line to part pay my new car. Dealer happy to accept with 1% fee. 3% forex and it's still better than an Aussie car loan rates at 6-7%. 90k UR was worth it!

Exactly

It defaults to Orlando and I have to call Chase to send it to Oz. Then I can select in the profile which address to use as mailing for which card. Which means I need to keep on top of when they are due for renewal so they don't accidentally go to Orlando. B of A is only used for checking...

I currently have my friend's address in Orlando (who passed away) as primary in both banks and my Aussie address as mailing. Both banks have my US passport on file, I did that in person when I was in the US. I'm going to hold off until I finish the $6000 sub on the Chase Ink Unlimited so I...

I am just getting ready to "move" to Del Amo, Torrance, CA (Planet Express). I did the 1583 form and notorized it while I was in the US. It seems to be a clean address, not flagged as a CMRA, hopefully that doesn't change. I am only using B of A and Chase for now, could possible try for Citi...

Yes for the 90k SUB, 0% interest for the first year and I am using it for partial payment on a car thus avoiding the charges involved with an Aussie car loan. But 90k offer is expiring 7 Nov according to the US blogs.

My Chase Ink Unlimited should arrive here on Friday. I have a $6000 credit limit and need to buy a new (to me) car. How close to the limit can I push it without triggering a fraud alert? This would be at a car dealership in BNE.Can I get away with $5000-5500 USD as a longterm Chase customer...

I just arrived back in BNE this morning from DFW.....in Y and lived to tell the tale. I was lucky to have an empty middle seat, otherwise the 16 hours would have been extremely uncomfortable. I did manage to sleep because I exhausted myself in the Grapevine shopping centre before. Service is...

A very creative one! 😉

Yesterday I walked into a Chase branch hoping to avoid the verification stuff on an Ink Unimited. The personal banker was insisting on a business license even though I told her I was a freelance tour guide. So I applied through the app, got the verifiaction needed email and immediately called...

Domestic flights in Brazil are cheap if you book in advance. While in Foz, check out the bird park near the entrance to the falls. You can get up close and personal with gorgeous toucans and parrots in a free flight walk through aviary.

I only have 2 business days and a weekend in the States so already limited. i don't have cash flow to set up new bank accounts. Best I can think of is buying gift cards at office stores for planned shopping to get 5x at least. I am very risk adverse so not interested in buyers groups and such.

Ah the good old days when I backpacked around Europe and Asia with Amex travelers checks, collected letters from home at Amex and Poste Restante. Never booked anything in advance, just rocked up to the recommended hostels in Lonely Planet. Chile only needed cash for small handicraft...

Ironically the replacement hotel I found with help from a kind local was cheaper and in a better location. I wouldn't have looked twice at the defunct one if not for this promo.

Just getting around to reading this as I am in Chile at the moment. I've never had status, all flights are points from Flybuys so relieved it's nothing drastic for me. My main use of VA is Pacific Islands, Bali, NZ moving forward. I switched to Avios for QR to IST and not doing much long haul...

Not to mention having no customer support because it was not during Aussie business hours! They need 24 hour customer service. This all happened around 16:00 in Chile time, I was desperate to find something in my budget before dark. My travel insurance excess would negate the clam so not worth it.

Thanks, I will look into it. No gift cards at office supply store hacks? For 5x Inks? I remember the good old days of Bluebirds15 years ago!

I I will be in the US in 2 weeks. Any quick and easy MSing on Chase cards?

OK I thought you have to use your Aussie passport to enter and exit Australia.

Update, I got through on the phone because someone in Qantas Holidays transfered me to Qantas Hotels. They said they would contact Expedia and ask for a full refund. I don;t know if I can fight to get the 5000 bonus points. I should have just booked cheapie hotels in Indonesia like everyone else
