    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    It probably depends on your use case. Whether you’re after co-brand cards or MR points? Yeah I forgot to mention as others have, that it lasts for 3 years. Yes velocity of applications probably matter for other balls like Citi and Chase. I thought ITIN numbers go back into a pool once expired...

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    You’ll be able to apply for another card through referrals with a FICO score, not necessary to do GT. You can still do that if you want, but as you’ve said, doing it via referrals helps the referrer too. Regarding ITIN, that’s correct, will need it to apply with other banks. I used SH studios...

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Ah righto. Makes sense. Have you already applied for a card with your ITIN to link them up? Else existing cards wouldn’t show up on a credit report linked to your ITIN would it I was looking at applying for the CSP too.

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Can’t do a referral and GT in the same application, it’s either or. Believe you recently got your ITIN too right? How did you access your credit reports? I’ve tried experian and I keep getting errors. Also, did I do a balls-up by trying to use my ITIN to apply for a Citi card right off the...

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Would a MyUS address work for Chase or Citi applications? Or would I have to change my MyUS address to something else like Planet Express?

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Will Chase have any issues with a MyUS address and using GV for contact? From above posts, it looks like verification texts don’t come through but should still be able to do verification questions maybe? 1680992940 Yikes, did you get your credit reports sorted? I recall you had some issues...

    Thanks, that’s a pain. Is there a number to call them to progress the application? Is it 18003474934?

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Just applied for a Citi premier. FICO score high 700. Have had it for 1-2 years now I think. Recently got ITIN, so used that to apply, unsure if it’s tied to my credit report yet. Have had two Amex cards for a few years now too. Got the 7-10 days spiel, does anyone have any DPs around if I...

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    I don’t believe you can still use the cards if you ask Amex to send new ones to you after 10 days. They’ll likely ask you to destroy the old ones. 1680502628 Cool thanks good to know. That’s unfortunate haha. Citi Premier seems to work per tlam’s advice above.

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Thanks, that’s perfect. Anyone has any DPs around CSP’s Online Grocery multiplier too? If that works for the Woolworths gift card website I guess. Online DPs on Reddit and else where are pretty vague on where it works. Most seem to just quote Chase’s T&C.

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Thanks yeah sorry, should have specified, but I was referring to the US variant of the card. Although thinking back, I think there have been DPs around how Citi can be difficult with international spend on new cards. Perhaps it’s Chase first, then managing Citi after.

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Does anyone know if the Citi Premier’s multiplier on supermarket works internationally or just in the US like the Amex Gold does?

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Yeah fair enough. Thankfully I haven’t had any issues with Amex but bit worried about progressing into Chase territory and not having my GV number work for verification texts. Haha.

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Do you keep the line active all the time or? $25/month seems pretty expensive, granted it gives you all the verification and 2FA.

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Wait for 10 days from when they originally sent out your card and then call them up to request it to be sent to Aus.

    Which Chase product did you go for?

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Just received my ITIN today. Fair bit after rich, but still heaps quicker than the 12 over weeks originally earmarked for. Now to decide what to do with it first.

    Different AMEX platinum referral bonus offers?

    No one apart from Amex and its systems can say why you got the referral offer you can generate. Probably not much point in calling up to ask either, their call centres probably have no clue too. Don’t think browser makes a different. Perhaps try opening your link in an incognito or private...

    Didn’t think there were that many people with the Surpass! Haha.

    Regarding AMEX's welcome points for existing card holders

    Yep, no chance of getting the SUB in Australia if you’re an existing card holder. Either wait out the 18 months, open the card and don’t expect to get any SUB and be surprised, or just don’t open it if the SUB is important to you.
