    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Is this to hopefully get the new $20 per month offer for restaurants with Brilliant and Aspire?

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Yes that seems to be the tactic used to maximise the free nights, keep Aspire for benefits and Surpass to earn the free night at 15K spend (2 x nights Maldives?) Not 100% but would assume just standard letter for $95 card. Is it still possible to receive letters from MyUS? I can never see the...

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Very generous sign up bonuses going on the Hilton cards. I don't stay at Hilton enough to justify the Aspire but Surpass could be a good idea. With the statement credit they are paying us to have the cards this year. https://onemileatatime.com/hilton-amex-cards-increased-bonuses/

    Yes I have used them and was helpful and they must know you are logged on and credentials match as no tough questions I recall.

    The Citi Bonus Cash Centre would be interesting if you ended up getting paid $80 to take out the subscription.

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Also a fantastic deal has presented itself on US AMEX cards, go to offers and they have the Motley Fool spend $99.00 and receive $99.00 return but you can also shop through the AA shopping portal and receive 7400 AA miles. I did it yesterday on my Bonvoy Brilliant and Amex sent an email already...

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Although mrsquare seems to have done the same thing and it worked at much the same time. Was just thinking also that you can’t get the Amex Green anyway to MyUS as it’s just a standard letter and not a package type like Brilliant or Aspire.

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    The PMB #? That could be it maybe as I didn’t use it over the phone a couple of occasions thinking surely PMB (personal mail box) is a dead giveaway. Then they said can you repeat and added PMB# and they could verify. Which California address did you choose and why? I heard they are based in...

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Sorry to hear nj12 and very frustrating as you seem to have done the right things especially the USPS lookup indicating N. Almost all of us started with Sarasota and I use PostScanMail now out of California. Not sure if the charge card variety makes any difference (Green, Gold, Platinum) Not...

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Just wrote a big reply but the page timed out 😤 short version was they just kept asking the same questions but handing me to different consultants. Full name, DOB, ITIN, address, previous address. I was prepared but the previous address and thankfully Finale prepared us County could throw you off.

    Success!!! Approved for my first Chase credit card and wow that it some process as I woke up at 5:00am to call Chase after receiving "please call us to confirm application letter" I had to speak to 4 consultants over 44 minutes and most of the time you are in silence. Finally at the end we have...

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Just called the automated line and the status has moved from 7 - 10 days to 30 days so I believe that is good news and should be approved? Do I still need to call and speak to someone or any chance I can be approved in the next few days?

    Ok finally got the letter from Chase through to PostScanMail and received the below with the same fax number. Can't really send what they want exactly so just sent the app ID, passport, ITIN, Cap1 checking account and my Amex statement page all with address included. Sent a cover letter...

    Well that is a brilliant use of the certs and will be worth 1000's nice job! I think I need to think big picture with the Aspire card if I get it and using it at Waldorf Astoria's is a fantastic way.

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    I helped a colleague get the Hilton Aspire and he stayed at the Hilton Parmelia and received an upgrade to a suite and was very happy indeed with the stay. For the members on here who get the Amex personal and business Bonvoy cards it is a tremendous opportunity to receive lifetime status down...

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Nice one and I just completed a stay at Sheraton Grand Mirage Gold Coast and was very satisfying plonking down the Bonvoy Brilliant card when checking in. I also had the seafood buffet lunch and received 20% off the bill for elite status and received the statement credit for the lunch within 2...

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    @ Finale I called Chase today and they advised they have sent me a letter asking for more details and presume it’s the letter verifying ID etc. Do you happen to still know the fax number you used to send docs? I am thinking my PostScanMail box will take too long to receive so might get on the...
