New ITIN issued Feb (arrived March) Amex GT Hilton Mid March - bill not produced yet Chase opened bank account in person earlier this week, deposited $1K Today applied for freedom unlimited via the app I ticked the international box (didn’t ask me for any UK details tho) approved immediately $500 (in 4 clicks) $250 cashback wys $500 - paid in UR I think a chase relationship helps if not it’ll go into full verification - anyone who does this add your data points below Going to spend a couple of hundred $ whilst in US, and then make up to $500 when home then put a small subscription on to keep live Some questions: Bank - I missed out on the $400 bonus, as didn’t signup to get a coupon code, can my banker go in and add it? When do you think I can apply for a boundless or sapphire? Will it be a problem if I don’t activate my physical card for 6 weeks? Thanks

I wanted to ask if anyone had any experience using their home country's history with Chase through Nova Credit to open a card and also if it's worth it?

Hey everyone! 👋 I just hit 6 months of credit history and I'm told my score is in good shape — so I'm finally ready to dive into the Amex world! I had a few questions and would love the community's input: 1. Which Amex card should I start with?I'm open to anything — cash back, travel points, whatever gives the best value for someone just getting started. 2. Can I apply for 2 Amex cards at once without hurting my credit?I've heard applying on the same day might count as a single hard pull — is that true? Any experience with this as a newer cardholder? 3. Do you have any referral links?If you have an Amex card you love and have a referral available, drop it below! Happy to use it — I know it benefits both of us 🙌 4. Are there any good signup bonuses running right now?Specifically looking at no-annual-fee cards if possible. Would love to know if anything elevated is live at the moment. 5. Financial Review (FR) — how do I prepare?I know Amex sometimes triggers a Financial Review, especially when you're new or applying for multiple cards. Has anyone gone through this? What documents did they ask for, and what's the best way to handle it smoothly without getting cards shut down? Appreciate any advice — this community always comes through! 🔥
