    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Ok, nearly 3 weeks since I've sent in my W-9 (don't do that) and it seems I'm back in the same boat with the Chase Ink Preferred. No progress, called up fraud and the guy said they've received my W-9 (cough) and is under review. Nothing more do be done. HUACA and the second agent couldn't ask...

    Major changes to Velocity Frequent Flyer announced 17/10/24

    I almost exclusively fly SYD-MEL, and occasionally CBR. Without overly optimising I retain Gold and hit Plat with some help. With the change it's going to be considerably more challenging to keep gold and impossible for Plat. Work is indifferent to VA and QF so most likely will just move to the...

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Tello and Talkatone don’t work for Chase don’t work for OTP when calling up for me

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Let us know how this goes. I'm in the same boat and faxed in my W-9 last Friday and there's been no progress

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Was there any favourable outcome here? Applied for a CSP after my Ink application went nowhere and being asked for a W-9 form. Not sure how to progress or if this one is toast as well

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Unfortunately I think I’ve hit a roadblock. Automated line changed to 7-10 business days. After calling I was transferred to the security team, but this time they did not allow me to answer questions to authenticate myself. My Talkatone and (new) Tello did not work to receive OTP. The agent...

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Ok, today marks 2 weeks since application and docs submitted and Chase said they are still reviewing the documents and will get back to me in 1-2 weeks with a decision. Need some advice here. CS agent and verification agent seems unable to transfer me to anyone else or expedite the process...

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    I believe the standard procedure for getting your first Amex shipped overseas after the 10 days is getting verified through NotaryCam after calling Amex. From what I’ve seen chat success rate is low (personally never happened for me)

    SQ Redemption Flight Change - No ticket number?

    Yes! Resolved in a 10 mins call + 1 hour wait for change to sync to SQ. Pleasantly surprised by how easy that was

    SQ Redemption Flight Change - No ticket number?

    As fate would have it, SQ202 got renumbered to SQ262 so I'm once again reserved on my first segment to SIN. Can't believe I have to go through this process again!

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Minor update again. Called today and seems nothing has changed - application is being processed over the next 1-2 weeks and will receive the card or letter in the mail. Don’t get why it’s taking so long but hurry up and wait I guess

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    From memory I went through Nova for my second card. At the time it didn’t require an SSN/ITIN but I believe it does now. Was pretty straight forward for me and approved over the phone after verification

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Minor update: calling the automated line has the “in order to retrieve your status you’ll be connected to a specialist” message which seems to be a new(?) dp. Still with the back office team for final approval and doesn’t seem to be a way to speed this up. Also, the agents haven’t been able...

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Can't comment on Revolut but when you initiate the transfer from Wise you can select transfer method when adding a recipient

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Update: Called up Chase and was informed to submit verification docs as expected. Yesterday morning I submitted my passport, ITIN form, Amex Bonvoy Business statement and Amex checking statement. Got off the phone with fraud just then and after about 15 mins they’ve informed me that they’ve...

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    From memory I sent an ACH from Wise to Amex checking pretty easily (initiated from Wise). Was able to hit the sub on offer at the time this way as well

    Strategy to obtain US Amex

    Just started my Chase journey with the Ink Preferred 120k sub. 3/24 personal cards, 2 business cards all Amex. Last approved personal card was January (with ITIN) and last Business was May. Got a 'We'll review your Chase Ink Business Preferred Card application and be in touch soon' message...

    SQ Redemption Flight Change - No ticket number?

    Unless you get Velocity to waive the cancellation fee I’d push hard to get it fixed. They can do it but you may have to push for a supervisor

    SQ Redemption Flight Change - No ticket number?

    It was resolved in the end. From memory I called back to Velocity the day after (16/11). Initial CSR was not much help, but I asked for a supervisor and he was able to resolved it in about 30 minutes back into the original flight. Not a fun experience
