Strategy to obtain US Amex

[georgie23]

thanks, may need to bite the bullet with Globalmail, i have a 25% off code and P2 and I can bot use it. I think the Anytime mailbox is prob better for a single user but but maybe not for 2.

Do you mind sending code - I am looking for a solution as well

I’d also be interested in a code, thanks

Need advice re. first Amex via GT and what US address to use (I have an old, inactive one).

I have

• Amex Velocity in AU (1 year renewal in 10 days, so need to do GT before that), and
• Capital 1 banking account with an address in California (my sister’s old address)

Now, as my sister has left the US and moved back to AU, I can’t access any mail there.

Should I

1. Do Global Transfer and specify my old US address (which is on my Cap1 bank statements) and when the US AMEX card can’t delivered, ask them to redeliver to AU, or
2. Purchase a GlobalMail account for a new US adress, update on my Cap1 account, and use this new address for GT in 10 days?

Any help would be appreciated, thank you!

I'm pretty sure Amex is unlikely to deliver your first US card to Aus...

You were travelling to Oz, I seem to recall.

re HSBC AU - while I don't know if it's going to happen, I caught up with a mate of mine who is a private banker with HSBC. He reckons the AU operation isn't going to be sold as HSBC has invested in it for the year ahead. It potentially sounds like a BAU strategy to me but just putting it out there given it's been a topic of some speculation in the media and therefore on AFF.

Exactly - you know me well - I also seem to be repeatedly travelling to Oz

I dont think Amex Velocity can be used for GT. Correct me if I am wrong but upthread I read and just Amex cards can be used for GT.

To my understanding, if you get a straight accept on a card application its available, if there’s any manual intervention or review it’s not

Great - will try the staples.com route then for my $20 monthly credit

No FICO on my HSBC statements - do you know how long you had to wait for it to start appearing?

1st Statement is July and Aug 24 No FICO, until Sep 24 Statement started seeing FICO

 

[djchuckles]

Interesting. I’ve had 4 statements now (since Oct) and no FICO

Did you have accounts and a file before the HSBC card?
