Called HSBC international again this morning. On hold for 2.5 hours and counting. Automatic hang up after 2.45hr. Edit Followed up with my RM who said to try online and provided me with a link to a fresh application where by you need to meet the HSBC US premier account requirements. I was...

Great post. Out of interest what is availability like on krisflyer / was it hard to find the routes you wanted for your RTW trip? I have been checking for flights from Sydney to Dublin and cant find any business class reward flights. Also please can you confirm if you can, am I able I sign up...

Just called the HSBC international number to request the HSBC USA account and was told that I have to do it online. They provided me a link to do so. This isnt consistent with what ive read in this thread. Might try and call again later. When I go to the link its a fresh us HSBC application...

I am struggling to check my credit history (if I even still have one from 2005/2006) on any of the 3 agencies. Each time I get to the part where they ask for additional ID info and they start with phone number and email address it just tells me they cant continue and need to call up. I have...

This card was probably the best value card ive ever churned, shame they are diluting it

Great. What do people usually use to check their credit scores without an actual credit enquiry? I would like to check if I have any existing score from my time spent in the USA back in 2005 / 2006. Is Experian a free one that people use?

Hi guys, I just returned home and dug through boxes and boxes until I found my SSN that I got in 2005. I hope this is still active. Is there any way to verify that it still works. Can / should I run a credit enquiry or something online using my SSN?

Will do. Thanks

What is the transfer ratio and advantage to moving your AU Mr points to US MR and is this an easy process? You applied for 3 Amex cards within 2 months? Was this via GT and no issues?

Hi I was wondering which US Amex card do people here in AU usually choose for their first AMEX card via GT route? I was also wondering what do people generally do with their AEMX MR reward points, i.e. which airline partners do people generally transfer them to to redeem for travel? thanks

What kind of info should I have on hand? I note blacksultan post advised to mention moving to USA / property etc. Obviously ill have a US phone number and US address to provide.

Great, found the info here, cheers. Anyone know how long it takes to get a relationship manager assigned after opening HSBC premier account? When I called the lady didn't know this answer either.

Did you open the HSBC premier account first and then ring up to apply for HSBC US or what was the process?

What is the process? Is it just call up HSBC Aus and they transfer you to HSBC international?

I setup a HSBC global account last week and called up this morning and they told me my account is already premier. I asked about setting up a US account and they said there is usually a $200 fee for this. Does this sound like other peoples experience? She tried contacting the international team...

When is the deal valid to? If I was to get my partner to apply for this via the GT route would they check her income? She has been on maternity leave so income has been patchy this last year..

Can I apply for this using the nova credit option as I currently don't have a AMEX Au account? Is this a good card as your first US card or is the type of card you would cancel and not keep long term?

I don't currently have an AMEX AU but will sign up when I see a good offer as don't think there is anything really appealing atm? My partner does have a AMEX au, she has been off on maternity leave though for the last year with substantially reduced income. Does the intial AMEX GT route require...

Is WISE a better option than HSBC premier? I was wondering with the HSBC premier account if you lose the HSBC US account features when you no longer maintain the Aus HSBC premier account or once you have the US account is it permanent? I was also wondering for these bank accounts do you need to...

Hey was your card shipped to a US address or Aus?
