I was offered the 100000 signup bonus on the Hilton Honors card today. Went through the public site in incognito mode. Good luck to all!
If this is your second card application and you decide to apply via incognito, is there any way to bypass the Global Transfer and apply based on your history with the first card?
Wow that was the first time I actually managed to get the 25k offer via incognito. Thanks Ricky!
That’s what we like to hear! Glad to year you’re having luck with the offers.
What do you say when the rep on phone (if ever contacted for more info) asks where do you work? Is it okay to say you’re working at your real job in Canada and the US address provided is a vacation home? If not any tips?
You don’t need to go into such specifics – just give them your employer’s name. If pressed for details, you can say that you split your time between Canada and the US (like millions of people do). End of story.
Wow Ricky, this is useful info and very timely as I was just looking to apply for an Amex. Thanks!
There’s also the referral thread on Reddit in ChurningCanada. It’s updated monthly and there are lots of US card referrals there, plus you give back to the Reddit community that way. That’s how I got 25,000 points on the EveryDay card and gave a referral to a user who is quite active in the subreddit. I also DM’ed him to tell him and he was appreciative, offering his help on other questions if needed. So also a great way to build some connections in your Churning network!
Of course if Ricky has a referral use that one first!
When you said you got 25,000 points on the EveryDay card, do you mean the Amex EveryDay Credit Card or the Amex EveryDay Preferred Credit Card?
Clarification needed: I am assuming that these applications would be AFTER the initial Amex CC obtained via the Global Transfer method? Or is there another method that is used?
Great tips!!
You could definitely do a Global Transfer on an incognito offer. (Indeed, I had recommended either the Hilton card or the EveryDay card for a Global Transfer to your first US card.) Simply click through to the application and then select the "I’m a cardholder in Canada" button when it asks for your social security number.
