Strategy to obtain US Amex

[blacksultan]

Decided to do 1st GT with hilton honor no annual fee, and then apply amex biz cards after 6 months. After 12 month, start applying for chase, @ 4/24 start applying Chase Ink. Not sure will go as planed but we will see.

Do you have an itin or ssn ?

Did you have to complete a W9 form or confirm you are US citizen

If that was to me - no - just applied online. Did the notary thing.

Interestingly I got a w9 form email on one of my HSBC Australian accounts (a family trust account). I’m planning to just ignore…..

My Chase Ink Unlimited should arrive here on Friday. I have a $6000 credit limit and need to buy a new (to me) car. How close to the limit can I push it without triggering a fraud alert? This would be at a car dealership in BNE.Can I get away with $5000-5500 USD as a longterm Chase customer in good standing? Will they question this as a business transaction?

Is this card worth getting despite the 3% FX fee?

Yes for the 90k SUB, 0% interest for the first year and I am using it for partial payment on a car thus avoiding the charges involved with an Aussie car loan. But 90k offer is expiring 7 Nov according to the US blogs.
