Strategy to obtain US Amex

[djchuckles]

Did mine with Maza but i only received a CP565 too

In Barclay letter requesting for more documents, there is a ITIN Application approval letter Plus IRS CP565 Notice. I just received/got the CP565 Notice when I done the ITIN. Where do we get Application approval letter? Had ITIN done via shstudio, Did they provide Application approval letter?

It's the same document.

Did they accept your ID?

Keep us posted if this works

Right so I'm probably more surprised than anyone - Hilton Aspire card approved. Maybe the Nova Credit box I ticked worked in the background.

They also never asked for address verification, so no HSBC statement required.

New fear unlocked - Amex sends card to the address on my ITIN letter (instead of the address I used to sign up) because they never asked for address verification. That being said, Amex also set up a new hilton account for me, reflects diamond status and has my US address on it, so at least I hope that is a good sign that the card will get sent to the right place (and not some random accountant's office)

Finally - how to set up an online account? The link in the welcome email glitches out and won't work. I just went to the public website and set up an account, but I can't "log in" without adding my card, and I obviously can't do that before I get it.

Have I done everything right so far? I was hoping I would get a virtual card number to start spending but I guess I'll have to wait and see.

That's very interesting - I might try my P2 as well on that one and see how she goes - Don't stress wherever Amex send first card in 10 days call and ask them to reissue to Australia
Probably as don't have an account have to wait for card to arrive to create the account linked to it

I only received my virtual card after my third amex card and have an account

I suspect you have done all you can do, just wait for card to arrive and then create account

I believe you will need to receive the first card to set up your online account .
