Strategy to obtain US Amex

[DC3]

I got my PMB number in 2nd line. But I tried removing it and it went thru.

You aren’t living in a PMB (Private Mailbox) are you? . Possibly an ‘Apt’ or ‘Ste’?

My residential address is an apartment which I write on the same line as the street details: “620 S 7th St, APT xx_”. This is the address where I have been receiving mail from Amex

Yeah, I should change it then.

Also, FYI for question upthread, regarding my Equifax account, It kept saying it got locked multiple times even I went thru process of unlocking it. After so many failed attempt I got CR to help, finally after a few tried she sent me a link into my email to click instead of clicking thru on website and I got access again.

1.1c/pt cash out being capped at 1mil points/year from October.

Yeah it's annoying.

I am lucky that I have found a guy who I can sell points at US1.25 per point

To those of you who have a Chase credit card ( But not a checking account), how do you set up a profile on the Chase site, so that you can see the transactions and pay for your card etc?

I have read that you will need the Chase rep to set it up for you ?

I haven't tried it myself but someone had the same issue on reddit:

Thanks for replying. Please report back your experience of setting up a Chase profile

Finally got round to setting up US Global mail, made a meeting with the notary. I know I need to bring 2x ID, but do I need to sign the form or do they? It said to only download the form if I'm NOT using their notary service, but...then who signs it?

If they need you to sign, you just sign electronically in front of them. It's a very easy and quick process. The entire thing will only take 10mins max. The staff members are friendly too.

30% transfer bonus to Avios. Very tempting.

It’s all explained by the notary, on- line, step by step. Nothing to be concerned about.

Shop around for a broker. The going rate is 1.35c/pt.

Hi all.

For everyone that has a Cap1 card, in the applications, do you admit to not being a US citizen and not a resident either? Do you list your primary residency as Australia?

Just learned that we can fund checking account with US Amex CC, it's coded as purchases. 3k too. Wow. Anything to be caution about this exercise please?

Definitely interested in this, huge compatibility table here:

Update on MyUS shipping Amex Plat: delivered on the 25th, complained about it not being in my online interface 2 days later. Just today, it slipped into my e-inbox without me noticing (was not notified by email). Had to chat to support and provide seller address to get it into the main inbox. Can confirm with photos of the package on there. Forwarding it to my home address now (on the 2nd).

I believe it's ultimately AMEX's fault for not including the Suite in the address...

30% Avios, then reduce the amount of MR transferred to get started on that Avios subscription chain (your luck of redeeming may vary and of course, for a different thread )

I've read data points on reddit about being declined because they put non us resident in the application.

The main hurdle you'll face is being able to open the account in the first place. You generally need a SSN, a US drivers licence and to have an address in the bank's footprint.

Most don't taken Amex. A well-known exception is US Bank.

Also, those that can be funded an unlimited amount of times with a CC are closely guarded secrets. Don't expect to find any of them listed on that DOC article.

What's the most reputable/least likely to become a victim of identity fraud way to get an ITIN? I've read about fiverr options here but... Seems a little sketch sending my vital documents to people on fiverr
