Did it work for you? I tried it but it says fight NA, even thought I can see the availability using the regular booking option

Yep. That's the eventual plan. Waiting for my 1st statement to be generate. I opened the HSBC account just few days after I applied for Amex and unfortunately Amx asked for an address proof, which I think is pretty random. My Amx application expires on 2nd Feb, not sure when HSBC would...

adding a data point on HSBC premier & Wise. I uploaded a wise US checking account statement, it got rejected reason given - no transactions in the account. They wanted to see a utility bill which shows some kind of transaction. I instead offered to do a 3 way verification with HSBC US, which...

No. At time of opening they use your current Au address and later once the account is open you can update the AU address to US add. Can be done via online banking click on update profile, update address. No proof to be supplied once your account is open.

Thanks. Just did that. Can see both my AU & US accounts now.

righto. I was in a rush so I applied directly, the US account was opened within 5 business days, which was pretty good. I'm in a bit of spot, I applied for Amex via GT route having read that address proof is very randomly asked so I went ahead without the proof. But unfortunately they asked me...

oh right. I do have a HSBC AU Premier but my US account has its own unique login id. Do I need to get them linked under one id to get fee free? I'll email my RM as well. Thanks heaps.

Hi all, still pretty new in my US CC journey. I was able to open a HSBC Premier US bank account. Is there a US$50 account keeping fee for premier customers too? If so, I understand if I transfer US$5000 into the account every month then there is no fee. How are people with HSBC managing this...

Yeah. D Yeah I tried using a VPN, don’t think it worked. Talkatone worked fine for my Amex verification call. Still awaiting approval so not sure if it will receive other 2FA codes or not.

thanks. submitted wise US statement.

Update 2 - Amex called early AU time, called them back, they confirmed the application and wanted me to provide a proof of the address . I don't have a doc to supply that info. Can anyone suggest few options or post# that I should refer to? I recently got HSBC Premier, thinking of opening the US...

Update - Used Talkatone for getting the US number. Made 2 different applications and learnt the hard lesson of how GT is supposed to work. One application was from an existing Amex Login but the card was closed 3months ago, when applying via this route, the application page didn't pickup the...

Has anyone recently signed up for Textnow for getting the US number? It seems to be only available for US/CAN residents. I’ve tried bypassing this by using VPN, changing the region of my App Store to US but can’t make it work.

I'm having the same issue, are you calling Qantas Wine at 1800 505 004 or QFF 131131?

Couldn't agree more. I've had some absolutely fantastic stays using Amex to Bonvoy(my only source of earning MB points in Aus, I think there is CBA too but not great value). Below are my some great value picks - I used 250k Bonvoy points for a 5 night stay at Wailea Beach Resort Maui back in...

Yeah, I compared both of them. Pleasantly surprised by the cover offered by Business Plat.

Marriott point expiry is paused till 31 Dec 22 and as you mentioned there are various ways to keep the account active.I think the bigger risk is point 2. 1659669370 Incase you don’t have an immediate need.

Seems travel insurance cover on Biz Plat is very generous, per my read it seems there is no qualifying spend required to activate the travel insurance cover. Too good to be true, bet they would have sneaked in some T&C in fine print. The LDW seems to have same condition across the 2 variants.

Post SPG, this is the best transfer rate to Marriott from AMEX. I transferred some points on 2nd Aug midnight, haven't got the 50% bonus point yet (its usually instant but per T&C it can take upto 6 weeks) and then later in the morning transferred some more and the bonus 50% came through...

Thanks. I had explorer before so may be that was a T&C of that. I’ve just started using biz Plat, so will read up.
