    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Thanks but it's actually not exciting at all - they have given me a $500 credit limit as it's the VentureOne ('for good credit' = no credit) ! Makes sense as their approval letter stated that they couldn't find a credit file for me with any of the 3 agencies. This also makes sense as my ITIN is...

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Is Cap1 particularly overzealous with account shutdowns for fraud ? New account, new card. Activated via their phone IVR service. Should I wait until the physical card is sent over and do some in person transactions with the physical card before trying to connect it with Apple Pay or using...

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Hoping for some P2 related advice here… I referred my wife for an Aus Plat around 6 months ago while there was a 275k referral. I don’t want to pay almost $3k in annual fees for 2 platinums, but now have a fair chunk of Amex MR ‘stranded’ in her account. I had originally planned for her to GT...

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Has anyone successfully been added to a US relative’s card as an additional user, and then benefited from the relative’s credit history to expedite card approval ?

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    That would fit ! They asked for bank statements, payslips, or W2 &or Form 1099. As I’m a contractor I don’t have payslips as such; I’ve uploaded my ATO NoA, but wonder if I should change it to bank statements. I don’t think anyone has looked at it yet due to the weekend

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    I was just asked by Cap1 when applying for VentureOne. Would it be likely due to the income stated - ie some sort of threshold above which they will ask ?
