If you obtain your Hyatt card at year end( Nov ) does your total spend in the calendar year count towards the spend required for additional night ? Is it carried forward into next year ?I am with Finale, rather than applying for the CSP go for the Chase Hyatt card if your goal is Hyatt points. Furthermore, you get Hyatt stays for spends. I have both cards (Hyatt and CSP) and rarely use it since I am binging on Amex biz cards and have to meet min spends. However, At Hyat hotels I use the Hyatt card and at the start of the year to make the 15k spend to get my second free Cat 4 cert and total 11 nights.
They have proactively increased the credit limit in my case the more I have kept the card, seems like it happens when I pay it off in full.What's everyone's credit limit situation like with Amex US? I recently got a second Amex US card and they gave me a 30k credit limit on the card, so now I have a combined credit limit of 50k. I heard it's not a good idea to have a credit limit above 25k on a single card as it can trigger a financial review, should I ask them to reduce my credit limit or would it just cause more problems?

2nd GT. I could have applied without GT without being logged in and use the function where they check your australian credit score as well but it seems like GT was a bit less of a hassle.Congrats, was this your 2nd or 3rd GT?
Chase Freedom but there is a forex fee so I only did it when there was some kind of bonus or to make a minimum spend. I used to have an Ink back in 2013-4ish, I used it to buy wish cards at Officeworks at 5x and no forex fee for Woolies.Does anyone know if there are any US cards with supermarket bonuses that work with Australian supermarkets?

It might have changed. The Ink product I had back then had 5 x at office supply stores, no forex fee. I got Chase Ultimate Rewards from this card, the Freedom and the CSP which I pooled and transfered as needed.How can you buy Officeworks gift cards at 5x for no forex fees?

Next step on the journey would be to apply for an ITIN. I recall earlier in this where a few members added their ITIN to their equifax file. Is this done via phone or their website? Does anyone have anymore details?
