Strategy to obtain US Amex

Any reason | reference for same ? What about other chase biz cards ?

A bank will never publicly explain why its underwriting criteria have changed, but if you want a sense of what's going on, see: reddit.com/r/churning/comments/1gsewuh/ink_dp_dataset_fall_2024

No idea about other Chase biz cards.

For my neighbours in Torrance, a data point:

• First Chase card sent via USPS not received in mailbox at all
• Replacement card requested after 10BD and sent via rush courier. Took 3 days from replacement being requested to Planet Express sending out a notification of receipt
• Requested package forwarding via "Planet Mail Express" (~USD 16) and a tracking number was generated within 24 hours, but actual courier pick up took another business day.
• It appears that the package then took around 11 days to get to Australia
• After getting to Australia, there were no further tracking updates; the package was simply in the letterbox some 8 days later (no signature required).

In short, if using the slowest/cheapest delivery option with Planet Express, expect the delivery to take ~3 weeks.

Did you do the form 1583? I think they need that to receive letters like from USPS. I printed mine out and had it notarized when I was in the States and emailed it to Planet Express. But I haven't changed it on the banks yet.

Yep I have a notarised 1583 with them - though not sure if that affects the receipting, as I've had at least one letter received in the mailbox before the 1583 was done, so I assumed the check is being done at the time the letter is requested to be forwarded?

Can't Chase forward your card to Australia? Are they that hard? Cap 1 didn't as well.
