Amex business with foreign owned LLC

[disagree]

You need an ITIN first and later ask your bank for the credit card.

They won't give you a card with an EIN only.

Which bank do you recommend to start with?

I need the OCT membership to access this right?
Is eveything accessible with the membership? Like also the correct steps to do to get approved with this amex ICC for LLC owners? @JohnnyDoe @jafo
Do I need the gold, or also bronze is good?

In that way a real physical US address is needed, and you obviously also need a lease and utility bill for that address.
Now we know that in this space making these 2 documents is not a problem. But you should get the address anyway from somebody you can trust as they will have to send you the card and take care of the envelopes the banks will send there.

Normally banks can send the card to a different address and you have the option to go paperless.

I don't want to hijack your thread here but since you mentioned you would use the cards for ads and you want to benefit from some sort of "bonus / cash back" you might want to have a look here.

This EMI doesn't offer credit cards but they offer cash back on transactions with cards.

I know a lot of eCom Guys therefore use them for ads.

I don't have any affiliation our personal experience with them but so far only heard good.

Let's say you're a spanish citizen, but you have your tax residency in Portugal or Paraguay.
Would be better to use your

I basically spend money on ads and would like to have a good card that can give me points for it. I see many people use Amex gold etc. Do you know how can I apply for it?

I tried to apply for Slash and they rejected me. Idk if that's because they're aiming for big spenders only, but some people sell the introduction to open a slash account, so MAYBE an introducer can help you.

Their cards are offering a 2.5% cashback, but as I don't spend +100 k/month I was aiming to credit cards as you can get points from multiple things you spend money on. Like restaurants etc, and have benefits when you go out or travel, you know?

Thank you for pointing that out, and if you can help getting approved for it without paying crazy fess, please feel free to DM me here.

Hey guys, any of you knows how it’s possible to get an Amex business account + card for a disregarded LLC?

1. Open up a mercury.com for your llc
2. Deposit 25k and get credit , build it on your EIN number
3. Apply for ITIN, this can take up to 3 months to get, so do it asap.
4. Once you have an ITIN, fly to the USA and open a bank account, and get a secured credit card, build credit for 3 months.
5. Apply for Amex personal card
6. Then apply for Amex Business


Quicker Alternative: use Amex Global transfer with a personal Amex platinum card from another country, directly to a USLLC (UAE/ Bahrain works but not all countries so check beforehand)
You still need an ITIN and US bank account if going this route, and the foreign Amex account needs to be open for at least 3 months.
