    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Would it be a good idea to upgrade my existing Amex green GT to the Amex Plat if possible or is this a bad idea? If not I will likely want to downgrade the green to a zero fee card if possible in Dec 24 as the annual fee likely makes it not worth holding and I think I need to keep the account...

I have had to confirm it wasn't me via their website and now the card is temporarily frozen. Now they are asking me to 'report it as fraud' which it is. I...

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Thanks. Yes she currently has a Green Card. At least that is one option to call up and still get another AMEX. The cost of the ITIN application using a company put us off tbh. But I guess it is worth it in the long run..

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    You've answered my question and confirmed what I thought, thanks. Does it make sense for her to obtain an ITIN now and if she did would it even be tied to her existing FICO score?

    Expertflyer vs Seats.aero

    Just checked out seat.aero and it looks good. Probably would have saved me days of checking sites over the last few years. However I note it doesn't seem to include some major airlines like Qatar or British Airways. Is there another search / alert app/site that is useful for those? I am...
