Strategy to obtain US Amex

[blacksultan]

thanks, hoping nothing further required as they did not ask for address validation so i did not attach HSBC statement.

Did you apply through regular GT ? Any way to avoid address validation ?

Any way to avoid address validation ?

Seems to be totally random, and they can be frustratingly specific

I was never asked with my GT

P2 however - they didn't accept an interim statement from HSBC (7 days), and required several phone calls (and the subsequent month's partial statement) to get approval over the line

Just tried to set up a Chase business Checking account to try to qualify for the $500 bonus and in a few months, trying to get the Ink Cards. It's refused to proceed as I don't have an SSN. I have ITIN. Does anyone have any DPs on this? I'll need to forgo it otherwise. Will this be an issue when applying for an Ink down the line? TIA.

 

[djchuckles]

In branch only with ITIN I think

Seems like it. Thanks for the heads up. I’ll look at other options then.

Will not having a ‘business’ relationship make it any harder to get an Ink card and how long should I leave it from when I’ve started using my CSP which is effectively now?
