Strategy to obtain US Amex

[US_Amex]

Yes I Know - but it doesn’t work and hasn’t worked on all 3 of the cards i have.

Hasn’t worked on any of the 6 Amex cards I have. Always have to wait until it can get delivered to Australia to use

Pepper is very sensitive. You need to sign up/use the account from an American IP, and not one associated with a popular/public VPN.

How do we know if we are using popular/public VPN? IS there anything I could do?

Have people succeeded in getting a CLI on the Amex US cards? Tried applying for one and got rejected - said they couldn't locate my credit file (to be fair just did a Nova Credit application and this was ~90 days in).

I did - a small one . Few years ago

If you're using a regular VPN, you're likely to run into trouble with Pepper.

You need to be connecting through a person's regular home internet (eg a friend/family member via Tailscale) or purchase what's called a 'residential proxy'.

I was just thinking would be good to use an exit node on a US IP address using my Tailscale
Wish there were devices could connect to my tailscale that could use some exit nodes around the world

Yes a redelivery will generate a new card number and immediately cancel the old card

Just found out that Chase has a FHR-like portal called "the edit" (does edit mean something in american english that makes the name make sense?) Where you can get Hotel loyalty points+status on bookings, plus 10x chase points back on bookings.

Anyone with a CSR can have a look and pm me/post a list of some more example Hyatt/Marriott properties that are on the edit? If there is a reasonable range of non-ultra lux, non-price gouged properties (im not spending 2k per night on raffles every trip to singapore) then this greatly elevates the CSR in my opinion. If you are booking on Marriott as an e.g. gold member you get 12.5x Marriott pesos +10 chase points worth 15% redeemed on the portal (e.g. for future the edit bookings!!) You might be getting approx 20% off bookings at some hotels.


Edit: never mind it looks like the edit isn't 10x points, not sure what the points multiplier is though
