    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Also interesting view from the US bloggers is you can’t get the Venture card if they know you pay your balance in full on other cards. Basically looking for people who carry a balance and pay interest which I assume all of us on here are not.

    If Amex paid 4 x points on overseas supermarkets and you could use Uber credits here I would love the Gold card, such a shame Citi and Chase do but not Amex. I moved to California approx. 11 months after my first card just as I started thinking of my next one but didn’t see how I would get it at...

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Nice one getting ITIN and should open up options with Citi and Chase down the road but they seem to want 1 year with FICO. Based on what you said another AMEX card would be my suggestion and add the new ITIN on application. My second card was the Green card but had to call in and confirm details...

    As Amex doesn’t allow the restaurant benefit anymore not sure the physical card is all that useful as you can just show the app. I want to get CSR or Citi Prestige now for restaurant PP.

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    I just called PP and they wanted to verify my address and then I asked for the number to add to the app. PostScanMail would work now as PP didn’t seem to care too much about bank style verification just the address matches.

    Priority Pass but they send the card to MyUS so I never received mine unfortunately as I assume it’s a normal letter. Good reminder to call and ask for a replacement next card I get to PostScanMail. Although my IHG card is on route to Australia right now so missed that boat this time.

    Sent Starbucks an email and they gave me a case number, called today and explained the situation and they said they would look into why the loading of funds was an issue and then hours later advised my account is good to go. Loaded my account tonight no issues and now have a Starbucks balance.
