Just received my ITIN today with Maza. It took 11 weeks from the day it was submitted!

Good to know, thanks for sharing that! Currently not an issue for me given my volume, but I can see how that can escalate as you scale up. Might have to plan a US trip as well at some point.

Any thoughts/data points on banks to avoid wrg MS? Playing around a bit, but only have one checking account atm. This sounds like a painful story 😅

For those considering a HSBC card: Looks like HSBC just updated their credit card offerings. The Premier card now comes with 3x on groceries and gas (international?), $60 yearly statement credit for streaming services and increased SUB of 50k (was 35k). Annual fee now $95 instead of free. The...

How did you get that error? I can't reproduce it using the same address in their preapproval tool ( https://www.capitalone.com/credit-cards/preapprove/ ). It allows me to finish the process. Just curious (if this works it would be a great way to verify addresses beyond the USPS tool)

3 months (approved early april, applied for cc early Juli). I believe I just used the regular application form. I did first log in to my online banking, before going to the application form, but I dont think it made a difference. Dont remember if one of the questions on the application form...

I Did get the premier MC, but I'm sure if I had applied for the Elite I would've likely also gotten that one. I just applied online through their application form and filled in the data they asked for. Application submitted and 2 days later I got a message that my card was on the way and they...

My residential address with HSBC US is currently my AU address and my mailing address my US address. I now also have a credit card with them. Will it cause problems with future cc applications (e.g., chase) if my HSBC US address remains at my AU address (not sure what gets reported on my credit...

I used a GPS spoofer app on my phone (Android). There are many available in the appstore. Do I understand correct that you got flagged for address verification after changing your address online? If so, I'll probably hold off from changing to a new address to save a few $ 😄 Initally submitted...

I can confirm they entered date of entry as NA. For foreign address they just entered "Australia" no further address details. So far I've been impressed with Maza. They are fast to respond to any questions, and they seem to be knowledgeable. Documents were sent for approval by IRS on July 19...

For those that are using a globalmail address. How much does your post office usually charge you to ship letters (containing a bank card) internationally? My address asks $6 for usps first class international and $100 for priority mail, pretty expensive. I know we can ask banks to ship the...

IThe business card gives Wyndham Diamond status. This can be status matched with Caesars Diamond. And from there you can get status matches with casino cruise line loyalty programs and other casino loyalty programs that come with tons of perks, including free (or deeply discounted) cruises.

I've done some research on this card recently for the Caesars Diamond status match to see if its possible to get on the casino loyalty > free cruise train, but looks like Barclays only accepts SSN, no ITIN.

Just signed up for an ITIN with them. Painless automated process so far and a very reasonable price. I'll report back when I have a result in a couple months.

This is the only reason why I was also considering it - for the credit history boost. Still working on a couple aussie SUBs, might get the HSBC card after completing those.

I've also been wondering if its worth to get these cards. The premier has a 35k SUB for $3000 spend, no fee. The Elite 50k for $4000 spend, $395 annual fee. Most transfer partners transfer at 1.25:1, so effectively you get 28,000 for the premier card. Not that great given you also give up a...

Does anyone here have experience with changing your address on your Amex? I want to change my residential address from the mail forwarder I used to my Ipostal1 address. Anything I should be aware of, does Amex ask for verification? Should I wait for a certain amount of time before changing the...

I am getting the same error. Might be a problem with their systems?

DP: Applied for Amex Green via GT in Feb. Agent asked for address verification in form of ultility/bank statement, Wise was not accepted. Application expired before I had my US HSBC set up. Applied again for Amex Green via GT in May (with my bank statement ready), nothing changed in...

Wow, such a painful company to deal with. I'll share my experience once they get back to me. I got a standard email yesterday saying the decision is taking a bit longer. So far they only asked for proof of 1 of the following: 1. Proof of owning a property in the US, or 2. Proof of being a...
