Strategy to obtain US Amex

yes I’ve learnt the hard way…

The first time it was actually iBKR’s fault - funds showed as available for withdraw before T+3 (they normally show as unavailable), so I thought they must have processed it super quickly

This most recent time was my fault - I misread my balance as it shows a ‘Total cash’ amount which is actually in primary currency (AUD), not USD

Anyway, even if I did wear both $29 charges, it’s still cheaper than Wise !

Particularly if you set up direct debit from Amex card to the iBKR US account. Unlike with ACH, there is no monthly limit/fee

Did you have an application rejected under these circumstances but then approved 30+ days later ?
Yes I had one rejected. I said what happened but it's a policy
 
Anyone with the Amex Biz Platinum that has used the DELL credit successfully? Just tried to order some SSD's to my myUS address and they have cancelled my order twice.
