Strategy to obtain US Amex

[georgie23]

Was it the same process as applying for the credit card post GT where you need to have an ITIN/SSN? Did they ask for any further information as you're already within their system through their cards?

I applied with my ITIN - not sure if can do without it - yes was very simple - easy application - nothing other than usual identifying details - got an initial email asking to call - they wanted the Passport and ITIN - got an email to upload those - 24 hours laters it was approved and open

Does anyone have tips for checking your TransUnion credit report? I can log in to Experian (with VPN) and Equifax (without VPN) from Australia but TU stymies me.

I'm not looking for the score, want the full report.

Can you share more how you can access Experian as I have not be able to access their site with VPN. Not sure if my NordVPN is the issue here.

Got Amex HH approved via Nova. Bit of back and forth and HUCA required.

Needed passport, ITIN CP65 and address details to be uploaded. HSBC denied a 3-way call to confirm address with AMEX.

Had to wait few days to get a new HSBC interim bank statement generated with new address that AMEX rejected due to a policy around the statement required to cover >25 days period.

Tried to get HSBC to generate new statement but they can't do longer length interim statements apparently.

Eventually AMEX just approved the application without further documents being provided.

Does anyone know if AMEX have recently changed the policy to wait 10 days to get card sent to Au or is it still the same?

Still the same

ITIN, who did you use? Worried using the ITIN generation services might raise an eyebrow. I cannot remember if I've sent a copy to them before but Chase was a close one.
