Strategy to obtain US Amex

[hill]

Has anyone opened an Amex checking account recently? Asking for a state ID for verification.

Want to apply for ABG so thinking it might be handy to Amex checking for verification before applying?

I applied last year in Sep and no ID check - how long have you been with Amex - if less than 3 months may need to wait 3 months to count as Amex using internal ID

Good to know thanks, just coming up to 3 months at end of this month - might wait and reapply in Mar then

Applied and approved for APG today with a 90k referral offer after searching through a lot of referrals with "Up to 100k offer".

Just had to provide a different residential address as my MB has been classified as CMRA

100k offer for APG showing up directly via google for me after applying lol, you win some - you lose some!
