Strategy to obtain US Amex

4 Amex personal and 1 C1 - are you under the 5/24?
Not sure of timing of them
Edit - Just read and seems you are well clear of that issue - apologies

no worries at all! but yup, I'm tracking my 5/24 so I'm doing good (for now). I'm actually 4/24 now and by Jun, it would be 3/24. wanted to get started on my CSP in hopes it would make it easier for Chase Boundless later.

how did you manage that? They wanted me to get a local non-drivers ID as AU passport was insufficient.

Got approved for the business Spark 2x miles card. Even that one’s suspended pending review of additional documents I submitted for ID verification for suspected fraud and income verification. They seem for me at least difficult to get to ‘yes’ with.

I just went ahead to apply via my friend's referral link online. They didn't approve me upfront. When I called for reconsideration and a secure link to submit documents, they said to wait for the physical letter or fax in my documents. I was quite unwilling and uncomfortable (faxing my ITIN letter + passport over) but did it anyway and got approved thereafter!

Read here that doing a US post address change verified ID before applying and does away with need for ID check . Any other data points ?
 
If I receive an email to apply for biz platinum with a special are my chances of being approved guaranteed or high ? Also does it mean I will be out of pop up jail ?
