    Amex 30% virgin Atlantic transfer bonus does it work for Australian cards?

    Where did you see information on the bonus from? A US website? Human and Cynicor are right, if it isn’t called out as having a bonus on the website when you go into it, chances are there is no bonus regardless of what a CSO tells you. Amex runs different promotions in different countries...

    Wouldn’t there be a risk of the funds being trapped in the account or would they have to refund that.

    Equifax was pretty simple to register for an account for and gain access to their report as they accept ITINs, may need to call up to verify identity but once verified, all good. However, for EX and TU, you’ll have to snail mail a request in to get a hard copy of your report that then gets...

    Not true. I’ve been able to get Amex to send all 5 of my cards to my Australian address after the 10 days.

    I had a similar issue with Chase on application. I suspect it’s due to there being issues with either my Experian or TransUnion reports? I can’t see either of those, so can’t tell what the issues are. Haven’t bothered trying to call them to sort it out yet, but probably will have to...

    Does anyone have the Amex Plat and been able to successful sign up to Walmart+/Paramount+ and used the service whilst in Australia? Keep running into issues with setting it up and getting it working.

    #DP Applied for the Gold biz bang on two weeks ago. Got asked for identification documents a week in. Submitted it and let it sit for a week or so. Called today, apparently there was a fraud hold on the application for security purposes. CSO confirmed it was me with some questions, put it...

    Sunarde did. See posts #7,013 and #7,020. He had issues trying to apply online apparently.

    Applying online should be pretty straightforward to get approved via GT. Not sure if anyone here has tried to apply for a GT via phone. Most people haven’t had issues getting approved with applying using a MyUS address via GT. If not, there are other mail forwarders that should work.

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Did you go for the 200k plat biz offer? I’m tempted to try for the 150k gold biz or the 190/200k plat biz. Is there anything to take note of when applying for a biz card with Amex? Like are they concerned with income/projected income and how long the biz has been going for?

    Few questions seeing all the posts on Chase and business cards: Why are people applying for the CIU and CIC cards? There is a 3% FX fee applied on international transactions. Understand it’s a no AF card, but surely the 3% is more than the AF on the CIP? Is it also the lower spend...

    Can’t guarantee that it works but you can try logging into your US Amex account first then opening the referral. I don’t know if it works with referrals as I haven’t actually tried. However, that’s how I got my second Amex card, the Gold from Resy without an ITIN or SSN then. Unfortunately I...

    Yeah i saw this when I dug a little deeper into their structure. I think Red Venture also owns a few other sites as well don’t they. Looked a while back, could be wrong.

    I find the points guy to be too commercialised and focused on churning articles and getting referrals as opposed to actually focusing on points hacking. Sites like Frequent Miler and DoC are much better sources of information for hacking and have actual data points. Just my 2c. Edit: Frequent...

    Can this still be done if the two flights are on different bookings? Say MEL to SIN on one booking and SIN to MLE on another.

    The only way to get your EX or TU reports is to snail mail in a request. You can only get your credit report online with EQ unfortunately. Quirks of working only with an ITIN.

    Yes, my Wise account has my U.S. address on it, mainly used that with other banks, like Chase. I haven’t had to provide Amex with proof of address. I’m sure you could update your Wise account to a U.S. address.
