Would you switch back? Or the FICO score not something you are interested in. Having the cards sent straight to Oz would be tempting though.

What score did you receive?

Great journey to the Prestige and kicking myself I never opened a checking account over the years. Do you use a mail forwarding address or have friends/family to assist?

How did you apply without ITIN? Prestige also their best card so you have done well.

Brilliant news @ Finale and agree that the Premier is probably the best card now for Aussies playing the game. Shame that Amex only counts US for bonus categories unlike Citi and Chase otherwise we wouldn’t have to jump so many hurdles. Now that we are playing the US game is it possible to...

Fantastic data point with Citi and will be my first non Amex once I receive ITIN. What Chase card did you apply for? Wonder if some are easier than others. Have my eyes on IHG and Preferred if possible. Nervous wait for Chase but fingers crossed you succeed.

Yes $400USD so approx the $565AUD I just ran out of ideas how to get one, reviews on Kindle book sales seemed to be hit or miss, emailed all registered US agents based in Australia and none got back to me, Greenback tax services offered to help submit tax return but not ITIN, looked into WeBull...

Not cheap for the service, $565AUD and just needed my passport.

Yes declared $421or so the agent put it down, that must be the minimum amount. Not sure what my plan will be once I do receive it and will also need another mail forward address as MYUS only good for premium cards that come in the box and tracking.

Quick update, just had my interview to verify my passport for ITIN application and the agent advised IRS working on 50% capacity and are currently processing March ITIN's. Wait time 6 - 8 months approx and the agent will receive an original copy of the ITIN and I will receive an original copy...

FICO score 744 from US Amex since November last year so good to go.

Exciting times @tlam and I am in a similar position as my W-7 IRIS Form has been completed and my 2019 IRS 1040R also with a similar $500 income. Quick interview scheduled for Thursday to verify my passport and hopefully ITIN coming soon. Now to work out the next step in this journey, I was...

If paying tax I see no reason why not, was thinking about the referrals and a shame we all couldn’t refer each other and get some more extra benefits.

Is the below anything to worry about? My latest statement Summary of changes, Effective August 1, 2020 How to make payments - We will no longer accept payments made in a foreign currency or a payment drawn on an account at a bank located outside of the U.S

If it is a percentage than Revolut is a non starter but fixed would be a jackpot. Can you try $400 for example and see the fee without completing? As mentioned Transferwise was approx 20AUD for 1600USD.

Amex portal and Amex App (FICO score) under account in the app. It seems it varies on when it is available and I was getting worried I wouldn’t get one until I applied for a second card like some previous comments but today finally it was available after many months paying. I have always kept...

Just paid my Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant card today via XE but have signed up for the Citi Global Currency Account and look forward to paying the way @ pyusha has advised. My quick calculations using Transferwise to Citi compared to XE today on a $1600USD statement would save me approx. $20AUD...

Now that is thinking out of the box indeed, US to UK global transfer. Out of interest what card are you applying for? No free FX cards as I can gather?

Can you put ITIN number in for Citi in the SSN section? I noticed on AMEX US last night you can (see below) Please enter your Social Security Number or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number to continue. Gold card with the below increase benefit is interesting...

Also reported below, I think I might of wasted my money trying for ITIN number. If Chase is out then not sure if Citi is possible and the Citi Premier card. https://milestomemories.com/chase-cards-applying-with-ssn/?utm_source=BoardingArea&utm_medium=BoardingArea
