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!

Does anybody have a promo code for US Global Mail?
And are there any tips or ideas on which location to choose?

i'm interested in this too, more from potential tax benefits across states? i know sales tax varies across states so keen if anyone has looked into that at all

i think it's been posted before but i can't find but can someone post the link to check if mail forwarding addresses are listed as forwarders?

thanks for that, worked out where to find CMRA status on smarty but what should we look for in RDI?

Nova credit DP: my Australian Experian credit report shows an enquiry from "American Express" on the day I applied for US card. I guess I was approved on my AU report.

Residential is better, less important though in comparison with CMRA afaik

just comparing some forwarders, those in the game for a while do you get lots of mail and is it hard to decipher what's junk from what needs addressing from the outside scan?
I can see planet express is a lot cheaper than US Global but US Global i believe scans up to 25 pages free worth between $12.5 - ~$16 in fees from planet express for this service.

i definitely see value in the free service at least when starting out but unsure long term if it's worth it.

I don't have free scan but value the peace of mind and reliability
Normally I can guess what mails to ignore

what plan did you get? i only see 3 options and the lowest option includes 25 pages. Did you go with Nevada in the end as well?

US global mail used to have a cheaper plan with no included scans. I think this may have been removed for new applicants.

I got Nevada add yes, there is no free scan in my plan.
