How I got the American Express Platinum Card. (US Version)

[ravana]

Hi Everyone,

After I read the post here on how to apply for US cards from India, I was extremely curious.

I started with the process. followed the steps in the post.
Opened an Aeldra account and then waited for around 10 days.

After 10 days I followed the nova credit link in the post and applied for the Platinum card.
I got this screen


Immediately called Amex and gave them my Aeldra statement as proof of address. After 8 calls they finally approved the card in 3 days.

Sumanta bro has been extremely helpful in every step of my application.
He guided me through the whole process.


Extremely Grateful to be a part of such a kind and helpful community.

Congratulations 🎊🍾

Could you tell us about the highest reported credit limit in your CIBIL?

Also did you use any mail forwarding agency link SnapMailbox?

And how did you update your US address in Aeldra?

Thanks.

Thank You!

Highest reported limit in CIBIL is 10,62,000.

I used a friend's address.

I opened Aeldra account with a US address directly.

My highest Reported limit is 2.5Lakh
Maybe I should try applying for a beginner’s or mid tier card rather risking rejection of Platinum Card.

Wow congratulations. Why did it take you 8 calls? Was there something specific they were asking for? Also I opened an Aeldra account, can an account statement with $0 balance be generated by them or we need to perform some kind of a transaction first ?

They were just being lazy. Apparently they tell you the decision instantly but now they have a huge backlog of applications. So they took really long to verify the document and approve the card. Interesting conversations with the agents though. Except one of them everyone so polite.

Nothing in specific, I was just calling them and asking them to verify it soon.

I think it depends on your cibil score more than the highest reported limit.

If you don't mind sharing, what sort of a balance do we need to show in our Aeldra account statement to get the approval? Also, is it possible for us to generate a nil statement without having any transaction history ? Did they request you for any other document during the process or not? Also how do we send them the statement ? Any email or secure link ?

Yes it is possible to generate statement without any transactions.
I had 50$ in the Aeldra acc but in the statement, I sent there was 0 balance.
They give you a link to upload the document.
They did not request any additional documents.

Ahh. I am calling Aeldra again and again. They are saying that since you have no transaction history on the account as of now, it is not possible for us to generate a statement. Did this happen with you ?

There's an option to generate it yourself in the app an email it to yourself.
