All About Foreign Credit Cards

Mostly statements from Wise as I said in my post (I use Wise to pay my Amex US cards), as well as two statements from my HSBC US Premier account.
Is your Wise address linked to/showing your Aussie address then? I assume so? My Wise account was originally a Transferwise account opened in the UK, it's still linked to a UK address...haven't had any issue to date, but wonder what the go would be there.

HSBC Premier is an option - I opened my HSBC Premier AU & UK accounts independently of one another in each respective country (qualified based on the Aussie criteria and UK accepting overseas Premier qualification as overriding their others, but the US account seems to need US$5K paid in via ACH each month, anyone know if this is enforced, if you continue to qualify for Premier elsewhere?

I’ve had a US Premier relationship for some years now. Unless I’m grandfathered, I haven’t been depositing $US5k/month - I’ve qualified based on my AU Premier status.
 
Finally went to Costco today, first time in a decade 🤣 (even though I've been holding this Costco co-branded credit card for so long). Felt great to use the CC as the membership card to gain entry, and explored a bit there. Look at the 6-pack chewing gum, and the 15% off Luxury Escape gift cards! Just to name a few. A fun trip before Costco Docklands closes late this year. Hope to visit a bit more often before it's gone.

And the receipt captures my membership as "GC International", followed by an 11-digit membership number.

I went to Costco looking for ALL Gift cards - however could not locate any gift card at all.
