Approved for Amex Gold via Global Transfer ✅
While I was still waiting for my ITIN, suggested starting an Amex relationship in Germany first, since it could later help with Global Transfer after 3 months.
I could not get the Amex Gold in Germany because of the minimum income requirement, so I applied for the Amex Blue instead.
After holding the Amex Blue Germany card for nearly 5 months, I called Amex Global Transfer for the US Amex Gold.
Timeline & Process:
- Applied first for Amex in Germany while waiting for my ITIN
- Started with Amex Blue, since Amex Gold Germany was not possible in my case
- Kept the card for nearly 5 months
- Called Amex Global Transfer by phone for US Amex Gold
- Was asked to submit documents after the call
- Uploaded passport scan
- Uploaded proof of address using my Capital One credit card statement
- Approved for the new card
Everything was done remotely.
I also checked Equifax and did not see any hard inquiry or soft inquiry there.
I cannot check Experian or TransUnion, so I cannot confirm those.
Good datapoint for anyone who is waiting for ITIN and wants to start building Amex history first outside the US.
