    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Gotcha! Thanks, do you recall what details PP required before releasing the PP membership no? Pity it’s sent in a mail. PostScanMail works? Someone mentioned recently that it triggered verifications from Amex.

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    What’s everyone’s experience with MyUS delivering their parcels? Choose FedEx priority for my Bonvoy Brilliant package. Delivery place last Friday, was meant to take 1-3 days. However, scheduled delivery is only next Tuesday, way more than the 1-3 days quoted. Has this been what most have...

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Thanks for the DP. Yeah it’s still not showing up, I’m still checking every now and then to see if it comes up. I keep getting these Motley Fool ads and wouldn’t mind see what they’re all about.

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Update: just received my Marriott Bonvoy package at MyUS suites earlier this morning. Got it circa 2 days maybe after application. Was shipped from Amex via FedEx. Did what DC3 did (further upthread) and put the APT xx_x-xx_ info in both the primary address field and also the APT field. Seems to...

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Got 76 offers but this wasn’t one of them unfortunately. Has anyone used LiveChat when logged in to the US Amex accounts page? Wondering what sort of verification they go through, if at all?

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Thanks, I must have gotten lucky there. Suspect you might be right whereby they might have taken a further look at the MyUS address due to Postscan one coming up as a mail forwarding provider’s details? Hopefully it doesn’t trigger system wide checks.

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Is there a recommended period to wait following Card approval before requesting for a change to an Australian / international address? I note that someone upthread posted a FT link where someone suggested 10 business / days or circa 2 weeks maybe? I hope not! I just applied for my Bonvoy...

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Yes, sorry should have been clearer about my application. Used the MyUS address and TextNow as number service. MyUS worked fine, didn’t flag anything. TextNow also seems to receive texts from Amex fine. Wasn’t any verification texts from CSO or anything but confirmation of Amex Account Alerts.

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Thanks all for the really useful information on this thread. I read through all 76 pages over the last week or so and today applied for the Bonvoy Brilliant card and got approved instantly. Next step is to get the card, fingers crossed that goes smoothly. Has anyone got any DPs on how to find...

    Virgin travel credit expiry date [Booked with ANZ Rewards via Amex travel]

    Just wondering which number did you call to query about the ANZ rewards flight? Was it 02 7922 0020? That’s the number on the email for the flight credit that I got from ANZ back in Apr-20. Also, this is the reward flight for the ANZ travel adventures card I presume?

    SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

    Can anyone please advise if there will be flights with closed suites from Mel to Sin and vice next Aug or its still too far off to speculate? I’ve done some searching, but the flights with first class are showing up as just normal first class seats, instead of suites. Mainly Miles also seem to...

    Reduced AMEX earn rates from April 2019

    In my completely inexpert opinion, saver rewards are usually the way to go, to save on paying ridiculous amounts of points to SQ. The trade off for a lower points redemption cost is of course lesser availability as compared to advantage redemption tickets. However, it is of course your...

    As a follow up from this, I did indeed get 2 ppd for paying my medibank premiums via postbpay. Good times all round, while it lasted at least.
