    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    You can contact amex for the tracking and ask MyUS to locate it, alternatively ask amex to deliver a new card to your australian address. The biggest pita is actually calling amex as it'll be difficult for them to ID you with no SSN/ITIN and not an existing card member. Maybe try the global...

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Uncharted is using MYUS, but they work in a similar way. The issue is amex doesn't include the suite number and the shipping forwarders have to review and assign manually. MyUS may still assign it by name, they just charge a fee of $8.99. (Note my experience is that it is completely random)...

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Activ gift cards are one of those most restricted cards. They even block ATO payments and random shops. They specifically make it hard on purpose to use those cards. One way is to probably add the cards onto paypal and do a family and friends transfer to another paypal user. There will be about...

    Hmm thats great, sounds like they can assign by name as well. Not sure if I should bite the bullet and do another address change. Already got flagged by Amex after changing from MyUS to planetexpress. They wanted address verification but I argued I had 5 longs years relationship with AMEX and...

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Amex shipped another card to my planet express address and I've purposely included the suite number on the address line 1 to ensure that it gets included when the card is mailed out. (I've also updated the addresses in my profile to include the suite number in line 1 as well). But from the...

    I've added both my amex cards into my Paypal au account. I don't think they check the address cause I noticed one of the amex card has the billing set to my au address and I have been using it with no issues all this time.

    Use a fake gps app to fake your location. I tested the whole process out, even paid the 50 USD. Cancelled and got a refund afterwards since I signed up with the sh studio.

    That's just for the bank account. You're required to subscribe for 1 year to get the ITIN. But there's nothing stopping you to cancel the sub after the first year once you receive it.

    Did they send you the ITIN via fiverr, email or did you receive via mail to your US address?

    Thats the paypal rate and not from NAB. Paypal charges ~3.5% for the conversion. Visa/Mastercard is generally around ~0.5% of the midmarket rate. Hard to beat that except maybe using revolut or interactive brokers which is around 0.1-0.2%.

    Some people mentioned it upthread. Maybe those that haven't got an ITIN yet can get one with MAZA? Its a lot cheaper at $50usd compared to theshstudio and even advertised as providing a bank account for address verification purposes. https://withmaza.com/

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Anyone find the amex foreign conversion deceiving? When a purchase is made, the amount that pending is always at the mid market rate. (Basically same as wise before the fee is charged). But when the purchase gets posted. The amount charged always end up higher than what was actually pending before.

    I did it with the sh studio on fiverr and they ticked the same box. (Box H other) I guess getting an ITIN will basically put you in as a tax resident. Regardless of which box you tick. Ie have to file tax returns. Interesting about Maza, it looks like a much cheaper option for only $49 USD and...
