    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Ive actually googled the issue and it seems to be a relatively common problem for people even in the states. Seems to be a capital one verification issue. Not the first time in my experience either that capital one systems have been difficult to deal with.

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    5-6 Months 1706588700 I think it might be attached to a turkey google account as I had one setup for getting cheap subscriptions or something as it auto fills turkey for the address of all new cards. I will try changing it to A US one maybe for this..

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    hi guys, I am having difficulty adding a capital one platinum card to my google or samsung wallet. Issue being it asks to verify within the capital one app but then when in the app it says 'we've hit a snag' and provides no option to complete. Has this been experienced by anyone else and any...

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Thanks. When applying for non GT Amex cards do you need to use VPN's on the Amex site? I have the same question also for any of the other credit card applications like on chase website for example..

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Great. What are the requirements to obtain a Amex Biz card? Would I be right in assuming you need a reasonable level fico score and either a SSN or Itin? Anything else required aside from the obvious US bank account and phone number? Perhaps you need to show business related spend or a higher...

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    So are the USA Amex Biz cards different from Amex personal cards in that you still get a sign up bonus every 90 days instead of the 7 years?

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Yeah I'll do this thanks. Was wondering what does AU stand for? Additional user? And you said above that it takes 3 months before we can transfer points into an additional card members account? Thanks

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    I have only tried via online chat. I'll try online instead. I was using online chat anyway to change the addresses, both home and mailing address to my Australian addresses. Yeah I have an address in the US, I use a friend's address.

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Hi I was wondering is it possible to transfer USA AMEX MR points to a krisflyer account in your partners name if they have taken out an additional card under your AMEX GT? I know that typically, when transferring points out of Amex account it restricts transfers to an account not in your...

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Good result. May I ask why you downgraded that card instead of just cancelling? Was it your first US card and you wanted to keep file open for credit history?

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    I just sent over 254,150 aus MR points and I got 171k MR USA so it was about 0.67. The Plat seems like the better option. That's what I went for but I don't yet hold the USA Plat. The Amex Qantas card only allows you to spend the 450 on Qantas flights I believe where as the Plat travel credit...

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Ok so I went ahead and tried for a second GT using my old SSN and was auto rejected immediately. I then done a pre-approval with Capital one using my old SSN and was approved and went ahead and got the C1 platinum card with a $300 line of credit. This will be linked to my new address and my...

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Maybe I should just ask Amex to add my SSN to my existing AMEX GT Credit Card account?

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Thanks for this. Ill set one up and link it to my old SSN. Where can / should I apply for the secured card? Which bank would you recommend? I already have bank accounts with HSBC and capital one but my SSN isnt linked to them.

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    I applied for an AMEX GT using the SSN but I think I done it prematurely i.e. before 3 months of having an AUS Amex and was declined. I was also declined for a HSBC card using my SSN as well. So Then I tried the GT Amex without the SSN and it worked. I may try and apply for a second GT now...

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Yeah it is for sure. However without a credit history its useless for applying for credit cards. I wasn't able to open any US Bank accounts with my SSN either...
