Strategy to obtain US Amex

I got a 10k points for $2k on a supp gold card. Does that $2k count to my overall $6k SUB spend?

I've been able to use Equifax.com to check credit score using a VPN forever, now whichever VPN location in the US I use on NordVPN gives me a "please give us a call" message. Really annoying. Anyone know a workaround?

You can't use equifax with a vpn. I have called up and the first thing they ask is "are you using a VPN?" Turn it off and it will work

If you are within the minimum spend requirement time frame for your SUB, yes.

Thanks - and yes- took the supp card out a few weeks into my 6 months

Tried to redeem hilton GCs at the Hilton in Queenstown yesterday. Spent quite a bit of time with the duty manager trying to figure out how to redeem them, but he/we couldnt figure it out. Anyone that has been successful redeeming these and any idea what the staff did to get them to work?

With AUD weakening and predictions it will go lower, what are people doing to limit losses on US cards? Transferring money now ahead of spending?
