Strategy to obtain US Amex

will this count towards my 5/24

For Capital ones. Business charge cards are not counted and business credit cards are counted. If the business spark 2X is a credit card then it'll be counted towards the 5/24.

The venture x business definitely isn't counted as it is a charge card with no specified credit limit.

Has anyone gotten declined when applying for their first AMEX card using Nova? I got auto declined with the reason "We were unable to get your consumer credit score from the agency(ies) listed at the end of this letter." The agencies listed at the bottom were US Experian and LexisNexis.

I tried phoning the number on the letter (1-800-222-8416) and the first person to pick up told me that using Nova still required a US credit history. Tried HUCA and the next person told me that the system declining the application would mean my Nova file was insufficient (it has a few years history)

P2 went through Nova about 2 months ago - first two times on same day was rejected because couldn't grab an Australian credit file (the passport and ID didn't automatically work)
Got a Equifax subscription for the month from Australia and checked to make sure her ID and Passport matched and redid the next day and during the Nova Application could see it grab the Australian Equifax report and convert it into a "US style report" - this could be downloaded as a copy and could see it all go through to Amex

If you didn't get a copy of this report maybe try what we did and see if helps

Has an interim bank statement from hsbc worked recently with Amex ? Has anyone used planet express for application without them picking up its a mail forwarding address ? Any data points ?
Also is it still possible to have first card replacement redirected to Oz after verifying details of original card ?

My recent (2nd) GT wouldn’t progress until I had a full 30d hsbc statement. A 7 day interim statement (after account opening) was rejected

Thanks . I suppose one need to have a few transaction for a statement to be generated as well ?

One transaction seems to be sufficient
