Thanks mate. Good to know.

Can’t recall as that was last year. But the option does come up eventually. Also, for some reason Amex increase my limits automatically without me accepting or choosing the option. Might be something to consider too. Does anyone have any datapoints around how long it usually takes transactions...

Card arrived very quickly. Was sent out on Sat, and arrived on Mon. Not even local delivery is that quick!

Just spoke with Amex over the phone and got a replacement card sent to my Aus address. Couldn’t get chat to send the card to an international address. They could only send to an alternate US address.

Unfortunate but not unexpected I guess. Cheers.

In terms of using the Uber or dining credit on the Gold card, have people been successful in applying that to an Aus account or downloading the US Uber app and using it that way?

Yeah it has. I got the your card has been delivered email. Yeah odd that you got a different response. Oh well, I might try calling the number provided if not wait for the 10 days. It did just show up in MyUS account, so debating whether to spend and get it sent that way.

Has anyone got any experience in changing the mobile number tagged to the Amex account? Is there any further verifications required or will they call you etc.?

Live chat should work. Just type in ship card to different address or something. I just tried, unfortunately got quoted the 10 business days from card approval. Unfortunately couldn’t get them to budge. They did suggest calling the number that DC3 provided to see if there are alternative...

My first GT was about 14 months prior, but latest application is through a targeted referral link and not GT. Probably would not wait that long for the next card. Looking to get an ITIN, and that’ll hopefully open more doors, perhaps a cap1 card if the SUB goes up.

Interesting. Would be good to know how it worked out in the end. Mine wasn’t a GT though as I was applying through a targeted referral link. When trying to use GT, it linked me to an error page.

I was logged in but for whatever reason it did not pre-fill the application. I checked the “I do not have a US credit history” box in the SSN section. The CSO asked for my DOB, US address and a few other generic identity questions, nothing out of the ordinary plus my foreign passport details.

Didn’t end Didn’t end up calling the number. Applied online, got requested to call them, provided passport details and was approved. Was pretty straightforward after all, was worrying for not much.

Just wondering what number did you call to apply over the phone? Did a Google and also looked at Contact Us details in my Amex account but couldn’t find anything. And is it possible to make use of a referral promotion when applying over the phone (I.e. the 90k Gold card promo) or only via the...

Yes, it was fairly crowded when we departed in early February. Must be due to *A Gold pax filling up the lounge too, as Gold lounge still closed. Was so packed that we nearly weren’t able to find a seat.

To those who have applied for or are trying for a cap1 card. Is it necesssry to have an ITIN and also at least 2 to 3 years of credit history to be successful? I’ve had my Bonvoy brilliant for just over a year and have had a FICO score for about 5-6 months now. It’s only at Very Good though...

I see, noted. Thanks for the explanation. Regarding the delivery email, is that the email when register for the Seniors Card web portal or on the WISH gift card portal?

Does Revolut have any fees?

Gotcha, thanks. Could I just ask how the process through NSW seniors work? Does the person have to login with their NSW seniors account then navigate to the everyday gift card site to purchase the eGift card? I have some relos in NSW, but might be tricky getting their account details.

Thanks, that’s what I thought. I did search for two, however it’s coming up only as Advantage or waitlist. Only really looking to redeem Saver tickets.
