Strategy to obtain US Amex

[hill]

Update - redid the application again and today the passport and DL worked with equifax and was able to go through - need to call Amex tomorrow but interesting part is that the AU credit report got converted into a US equivalent report (her 1002 AU score got converted to a 753 US score and was flagged as low risk) - it even converted all the loans to tradelines with the oldest as 167 months

Hopefully call tomorrow morning and all sorted - now I just have to get her to call - dammit

Nice! Exactly the same with mine as well - it all got converted into the US format, very interesting to read.

not relevant to us Amex, can anyone please recommend good VPN site or app to use ?

Mullvad is the 'gold' standard in terms of privacy but there are heaps of other providers like Nord, Surf as Georgie mentioned that regularly go on sale for 100% or more on cashback sites.

Nord/Surf work fine with AMEX as it is pretty easy going.

You can setup your own "vpn" pretty easily for free/cheap as well if you have technical know how.

I;ve used Nord and Surfshark extensively with no issues. Also Express VPN. Pic whichever one has 100% cashback on Rakuten!

The good folks at ozbargain seem to have discovered a free plan - phone number, data, VoWiFi: Free USA eSIM Including 3GB Free Data Per Month, 100 Min Calls, 300 Text & US Number @ Helium Mobile

Better than Tello in every way, the only question is the longevity of such a provider.

Better how exactly - apart from being $5 cheaper
