Strategy to obtain US Amex

[QF_Flyer]

Yes that was my recollection - for Aussies the personal was better

Yup, also works for takeout such as Ubereats, Menulog, etc. (and some restaurants I've been to in Singapore, Japan, Hong Kong, basically everywhere - even a hotel which codes as a restaurant for some reason).

That said, interested in others' take on the Gold - I took it out for SUB, 20% credit at restaurants and 4x/$1, but when year one is up, with the increased annual fee, 4x/$1 alone won't be worth it compared to the Green (majority of my spend is travel related, even restaurants are 3x on Green, so not an enormous loss).

So is there any benefit to keeping it beyond year one? It's not my oldest US card, so that doesn't bother me.

Well, I've had a Citi checking account for a couple years. Today've applied for a Strata Premier with my ITIN and it was an immediate reject :-(

So far I have Amex Plat, Bonvoy Brilliant, Chase IHG Premium and Chase Ink Preferred. Last time I applied for a personal card was over a year ago...

Hi!

Apologies if this might be OOS, but did anyone here apply for a B1/B2 visa while having an ITIN?
The country where my passport is issued is not eligible for the VWP, so I had to apply for a B1/B2 visa, and had to enter my ITIN on the DS160 form.

I have my interview soon, but scared they might ask questions around the ITIN. Like most people here, I only got it so that I would be able to apply for CCs, so not entirely sure how I would answer such questions, if they should come up.

UPDATE (if anyone should encounter a similar situation): Got my visa approved and issued. No questions asked regarding the ITIN.
