Strategy to obtain US Amex

Yes this. But how do we get notified about HSBC bonus transfer? I hardly login to check and been waiting for a chance to transfer/use it somewhere.

It’s mentioned in their periodic newsletter . Maybe check if you are subscribed .

I got excited when Qatar listed HSBC with their 30% but on closer look at was for HSBC Thailand!

Hsbc does not have a retail banking division in Thailand .

I’m just in my way back from NY and catching up on everything. I thought my experience might be interesting to some.

I went to get my non driver ID so I could have another crack at applying with C1. Unfort I went on the wrong day though they checked and said my AU passport and HSBC US statement showing my NY address would have worked to get it.

I applied for a Citi checking account in branch and will look to meet the activity criteria to get the $325 bonus (the others were too high a commitment for me and I felt the FX risk might not be covered by the bonus. They would only let me open this account in branch even tho I’m already a Citi customer so good to tick this off.

I also went into a Chase branch and opened a checking account with $300 bonus so I’ll work on getting that when I get home.

The banker did tell me that they don’t accept the NY ID card so not sure if that also means C1 won’t.

I applied for CSP in branch and have the banker that helped me trying to push it through. Will be good to get it this time so the Ink business cards are then on my radar. Please remind me which Ink card is the one to get now?

Hope my experience is helpful.

I went on the wrong day

What’s the difference between a wrong day and a right day? Just curious.

one day. I thought the confirmation said 21st but said 22nd and they strictly enforced the "no walk ins" policy.

Has anyone added an additional card to one of their US AMEX cards? I have an offer of 10k points for adding an additional card holder on my amex gold. I could add P2 but she doesnt have a SSN or ITIN so it may not be possible? It says I can provide the SSN/ITIN later upon card activation. Will they claw back points if we never provide it?

Thanks in advance

Currently in Thailand .trying multiple times to apply for Amex via. GT .Once I log into Oz Amex account the page does not load further and times / blanks out . Tried using VPN as well .
Could this be a geo blocking issue ?
Any solution ?

Go ahead . Can provide passport details via chat as well . Don’t think they will claw back points . At most they will close card .

I'm trying to get my ITIN added to my HSBC account. The agent is asking for a few details and I'm not sure how to answer one of the questions. In my HSBC account details, my permanent and mailing address are my US address.

After confirming with the agent that I'm a non-resident alien, the agent asks for my permanent tax residence address is. Would this be the my US address (that I have documented on my account) or my australian address?
