    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Damn, looks like they have opened the document upload portal again. Most likely need to verify address unless there was something wrong with the passport pic posted.

    thanks, hoping nothing further required as they did not ask for address validation so i did not attach HSBC statement.

    Citibank "4th night free" perk

    a number of years ago, i used gift cards to pay about 90% of a booking while using the 10% off code. It did work and the 10% was on the total balance not the cash portion. Obviously, different promo code and was a few years ago so i can't say if they've plugged it or not. unfortunately, you...

    AMEX rejection

    I had 2 cards although closed my Citi Prestige about 2 weeks ago so may not have updated on credit file yet. Citi was 2 years old (cancelled just before annual fee hit) and the other was a 28 degrees which is like 10 years old. No applications since maybe mid 2023, no credit card closures since...

    Citibank "4th night free" perk

    I had a booking at the end of last year reject due to having already done 4, the stay was for December this year. Had to use the 10% instead which wasn't too much less given it was for 9 nights.

    AMEX rejection

    about to re-apply after rejection12months, I notice my P2 applied 11 March 2024 and statements are from the 8th-7th of each month. Is it best to apply from the 8th then? That should give me 13 months before the next annual fee is charged. i guess the key question to be answered before the...

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    P2 got a W8 form request from HSBC. i see the implications will be 30% withholding tax on interest. I don't intend on holding large balances for extended periods so not too concerned but should we just fill it in? Also, does anyone know if it's possible to print from a US Global mail scan?

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Just to clarify, we received the email that kpc referenced, she called up and was verified by confirming DOB and address. Lady said she needs to upload docs and we would be sent an email with the link to do this. we thanked her and hung up. shortly after we received the email "we've finished...

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    how did you find out you were approved was it over the phone? Did you get any kind of welcome pack? I'm tempted just to wait for them to send out a letter, too difficult to get the wife to call. Would think if they reject it would most likely be because we did a PMB instead of APT or Suite...

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    ohh that's very interesting, so you didn't need to upload any docs either. did you receive a similar email saying they had made a decision then as well?
