Strategy to obtain US Amex

Yes it does, and get 3 points on buying gift cards on Woolworths gift card website too.

Thanks, that’s perfect.

Anyone has any DPs around CSP’s Online Grocery multiplier too? If that works for the Woolworths gift card website I guess. Online DPs on Reddit and else where are pretty vague on where it works. Most seem to just quote Chase’s T&C.

It definitely works internationally. I've gotten it on online orders in the UK & Canada before. Never tried in Australia though. Doubt it would work on WW gift cards as that's run through a gift card processor.
 
My 2 hilton cards haven't arrived to MyUS and it's been 2 weeks for one and 3 weeks for the other. If I call up and explain that I am overseas at the moment, will they send them straight to Australia to my work offices without any issues? I know this can be done for existing cards, but I haven't registered these 2 yet.

I have the US Gold amex without issues.

Yes if 10 days has passed then call them and ask them to send it to Australia. I don't use MyUS, I have a friend who let me use his address so I just ask him to destroy any card that shows up to save on courier charges.

So he destroys the cards, then what, you ask Amex to send direct to your Aus address?
 
I don’t believe you can still use the cards if you ask Amex to send new ones to you after 10 days. They’ll likely ask you to destroy the old ones.

Cool thanks good to know. That’s unfortunate haha. Citi Premier seems to work per tlam’s advice above.

The new card they send to Australia has a different number. I think they mark the original one as lost and just give a new number.
 
Hi all, I have an Amex Aspire from 2 years ago.. Been using Textnow with the free number and managed to keep active... until 2 months ago, forgot to use it and it expired. How do I change this number on US Amex website? Is it possible to change it to my Aus number?
 
Surely an online offer for the CSP should be coming? Stats:

2021 80k 24 March - Weds. Easter was 4 April
2022 80k 14 April - Thurs. Easter was 17 April

They seem to like doing this offer right before Easter. Maybe through referral links or maybe open to public. Does anyone have this card? Check you referral links.
 
Have placed referral codes for Chase Sapphire and hsbc checking account ( upto $1000 bonus ) in US cards referral thread .

Don’t think you can do it online or at all .you may need to call to have it changed like you do for having a Non US address listed .
 
Just applied for a Citi premier. FICO score high 700. Have had it for 1-2 years now I think.

Recently got ITIN, so used that to apply, unsure if it’s tied to my credit report yet.

Have had two Amex cards for a few years now too.

Got the 7-10 days spiel, does anyone have any DPs around if I should hang tight or give them a call?

Have you ever asked them to send a card (new or replacement) to you in Australia? If so, how did it go?

I'm tempted by the 75K Citi Premier offer that is starting to circulate.
