American Express Rewards Card?

**Paul Waters** · 04-05-2005, 09:57 AM

I had no trouble getting one from CIBC. But I have had a CAD$ VISA with them for a long time.

I called Amex this morning. They don't offer any US currency credit cards to Canadians.

Just get a u.s. postal address and then apply to a normal one like "capital one", they never make you be an american.. just that you live in the u.s. and either pass a credit check or pay deposit

We use TD Canada trust. I have a U.S. Visa with them. The only thing that sucks is they don't have anything set up online to check account. Still has to be done by phone or at the branch.

As the subject says, I'm looking to replace my existing USD Credit Card from Royal Bank with a credit card that can actually provide a reasonable credit limit without surrending a large security deposit. Already tried Amex and they can't provide USD Credit Cards for Canadians, what other options are out there?

None really, you could open a US checking account and get a debit mastercard. I know in Niagara Falls they'll give them to just any canuck with a pulse.

From my experience US banks won't issue US credit cards or extend credit without a real US address and a US incorporation. Even then, they are pretty tight when dealing with "outsiders".

I would love to do this, but I based on the online application form, you'd still need a SSN or a federal tax id for companies and I'm not willing to establish a US presence just for a credit card. At least that's the impression I got from the online form.
