Just seeking clarification. I’m going to transfer my AU amex MR over to my US amex MR account. I see people have done it via the in app AU chat. Do they already have your US amex MR account number etc or do you have to provide that? I presume this is better to do this during business hours to...

Is there room for one more person to attend the akl dinner? I'm Auckland based. BTW I noticed there's a new hotel at Sky City called Horizon Hotel by Sky City in the CBD, they were running some opening special rates. Can't vouch for how good the hotel is as I haven't been there but it's...

I've got the Amex Green card. Been very good so far. An adventure finding out what counts as 3x earn... Just wondering it comes with a $199 Clear Plus (TSA fast track type membership) benefit. Has anyone been able to get clear plus as a non resident of the US? It says when I search chatgpt that...

Thanks I didn't attempt to do this. It sounded too hard. My husband took back my suitcase as he was working in Sydney!!

I’m flying HTI-SYD-AKL later this week. I’m on an extended trip and stopped in Sydney before going to Hamilton Island for a couple of days for a wedding. Does anyone know if I can put my suitcase in storage at Sydney airport and just take a carry on up to Hamilton Island. And then on the way...

I applied for my husband to get the status match with UA & QF. It wasn't accepted straightaway. This is now 7 days ago. Does anyone know how long this takes? We are travelling next week. I tried to ring the Premier line to enquire what's happening with the status match and the person didn't know...

I just tried to get the status match for my husband via QF. The United automated form wouldn't accept my screenshot of his QF card. In the end I increased the contrast in my photo editor and it was able to be uploaded, The AI must not be able to read the card if there isn't enough contrast...

Thanks Matt that's helpful to know. I've got a Lounge buddy credit as well so may have to use that.

I've got oneworld sapphire and QF gold status. I'm flying jetstar HNL-SYD in Y. Does anyone know if I can enter the QF lounge in HNL? Also can I take a guest in? Thanks

Has anyone who just recently got a US amex card been able to access their FICO score on the amex USA site? I tried to enrol and got an error message 16. Do you have to do this with a VPN set to USA? I have no SSN. I did get a letter when they sent out the card saying my Experian score was 713...

Just applied for the UA status match. Had a few glitches. The UA form wouldn't accept my photo of my qf card. Said file was too big and then couldn't read it. However taking a screen shot of the card on the QF app worked. Approved instantly. That's superb. Got a visit to MCO and HNL coming up...

I can't enter my Amex Green card to my Paypal nz account. It won't accept my US zipcode, says it's incorrect. Has anyone had this happen and what to do here? TIA NB was able to add it to my amazon account.

Can someone tell me how long the membership rewards take to post when using an Amex green card outside of the US? I got my card loaded on Apple wallet a couple of weeks ago and have been using it in nz in the last week but no membership rewards are showing on my account. Also how do you load you...

I opened the online accounts in the US. The talkatone phone sub can receive bank short codes but you can’t reply with yes etc to short code numbers. I used my Wyndham account to test whether the short codes were coming through to my talkatone number. You have to get a text or call to login to...

I got a request from GT to see a bank account that was 30 days old, so if you have no US transactions on it not sure if that would be ok. If you don’t stay until you get the debit card, which takes about a week then you can’t put any transactions on it after opening the account. Apparently you...

I don’t have an Itin currently. They didn’t ask to see the w8ben form. The guy just ask me if I had filled one out. It was only at Wells Fargo that they asked me that question. I’m not sure if you need a w8ben for each financial institution or just a one that covers every one.

I would just do a couple. I stayed for 10 days so I could get the debit card although my family member could have rang me through the card details. I used the card for 4 days then came back. When you say you are there on esta they just tick it off this list but they then know you are only...

I went to wells and BoA. They both didn't ask for proof of address or want to sight my esta. I said I was staying with family. But they do insist on putting your home address as well as your US address. Wells asked me to fill out a declaration saying I have a W8Ben tax form. Luckily I had one...

Thanks @sudoer. Btw thanks also for all the input you make on this site. I appreciate your insights. They are always helpful, respectful and constructive.

I go to the States regularly with family there. Wish I’d opened a bank account one of the many other times I was there!!
