    Amex "I'm going to cancel my card" - bonus points given thread.

    This was confirmed to me on live chat a few days ago - have not had time to call up yet (they wouldn't let me do it over the chat). I have a zero balance in anticipation of cancelling, and the AF was paid for in a statement just past. Does anyone know how they will refund this if there are no...

    Will they do this no questions asked for a first GT ? Or do you have to go down the notary path ?

    For those who have access to a score, or who have had a card approval/rejection recently, it would be interesting to hear what your scores are, and how long you’ve had a credit history in the US for… I’ve only had a history for about 6 months, and my score on a recent approval was about 680 as...

    I still find it strange that they flag ApplePay when tokenised payments should be much less prone to fraud than physical card payments

    Unusual; I've no dealings with Chase yet, but I have had several instances where GV is not accepted/working but Tello always has Shouldn't make a difference, but maybe try calling from a non-VOIP service (eg an Aussie mobile operator) and see if it works ?

    Looking at closing P2's Aus Platinum as soon as I can transfer her MR to her newly minted Green; unfortunately will be after the next Aus Platinum annual fee is charged. Does Amex generally refund this pro-rated if you cancel early enough ? Or once it's charged it's charged and we have to keep...

    Seems to be totally random, and they can be frustratingly specific I was never asked with my GT P2 however - they didn't accept an interim statement from HSBC (7 days), and required several phone calls (and the subsequent month's partial statement) to get approval over the line

    I’ve had P2’s first GT having all notification letters sent via snail mail to US address for some reason. Her email does work (after uploading requested docs, she gets a confirmation email), but useful correspondence is not being emailed… Give them a call after 5 business days if you haven’t...

    For those that have done an address verification via a 3 way call with eg HSBC and Amex, how does this work in practice ? Does Amex set the call up and ring their own list of numbers, or are we supposed to provide a relationship manager/banker contact ?

    Ok managed to get it to work with just a standard US wireguard VPN (Surfshark trial) on wifi with all sims off (airplane mode) Key step was to delete the earlier unverified card from iOS wallet, and re-add it when using the US IP address I think the unique device id created for the card must...

    Do they ask about you being overseas ? There are a few threads on Reddit where people have been told the answer was to fly back to the US and activate the card there !!!

    Has anyone added a Cap1 card to Apple Pay ? When I try from iOS Wallet, it adds, but then verification options are the Cap1 App and a phone number. The phone number just has a recorded message saying "follow instructions on the app" (!) The App fails to verify, saying "We cannot activate your...
