Hi all, I’m moving from the UK to the US and want an Amex Platinum card. I know Amex can transfer my UK credit history to the US, but can I still get the welcome points or bonuses that way? Or do I need to apply as a new customer with no US credit history? Any tips or experiences are welcome. Thanks!

Once I have used the money that’s been invested there’s no way of seeing it again and still bringing the return quick enough.

The numbers still show it’s possible, I still believe in the concept and I’m still growing, I think I just have some imposter syndrome.

Any advice?
