USD Credit Cards for Canadian Businesses - Recommendations?
 

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?

American Express Rewards Card?

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.

I got a CIBC one NP.

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.
