The cheapest and most stable way I found to get a US mobile/residential proxy 🇺🇸📱
I originally tried options like RedPocket and Tello, but unfortunately my iPhone would not connect properly to data roaming. Every time I switched off Wi-Fi, it went straight to SOS, so that route did not work for me. After doing a lot of research, I found a cleaner and more stable alternative that can give you a mobile or residential proxy in a specific US city/state when available — and the cost can be as low as around $0.80 for 3.3GB. This can be very useful when you are trying to access US banking, credit card, or financial platforms while keeping your connection consistent with your US setup. I genuinely believe having a stable US connection played a role in helping me get approved for a $2,000 Capital One Platinum card with a brand new ITIN. https://www.skool.com/itin/cp1-approved-for-2k?p=b09f4e85 It does require a little bit of technical setup, but it is not too hard once you understand the steps. Comment and leave a like whoever interested below.Ill write down a step by step guide.

NY DMV-experience for Non-Driver ID application
Went to Manhattan Midtown DMV for the Standard Non-Driver ID. Was really smooth. Made an appointment a month before and already filled out the application online. When I went there my appointment barcode was scanned and I got a number. First I was called for taking the picture, second to go to the "real" counter. I had to give the application, the passport, I-94 admission number and my drivers license or two credit cards. After half an hour I was out of the building with an Interim Document in my hands. It really was as easy as it reads.

@Stefan S Makes sense, I'm gonna try and put an out of state address on it (they said it will work) if I don't I'll use mates address and post to out of state anyway.
Getting Amex is easy. Surviving Amex is the real game
Getting approved for Amex is easy. Staying with Amex… is the real game. --- A lot of people get their first Amex and stop there. They think: “I made it” --- But now your entire profile is: 1 card 1 bank 0 depth --- That’s exactly what makes you risky. --- Because from Amex’s side: There’s no comparison No external history No context --- So even normal behavior looks suspicious: - spending too fast - high utilization - mismatch with income --- And that’s how you get hit with Financial Review. --- Here’s what I personally recommend: **Before increasing spend on Amex, open at least ONE non-Amex tradeline** - Visa / Mastercard from another bank - a credit union account --- Then use Amex normally. --- This way: You’re not dependent You look more “real” And your profile has depth --- Don’t just get approved. Build a profile that doesn’t get questioned.

@Abdulrahman Mohamed Chase are doing Freedom Flex & Freedom Unlimited cards if you have UK & Canada Credit files (Similar to GT) Not a great card for FX (3%) But think i'm gonna go down that route. $250 (25k UR points) when you spend $500, and a foot in door. But put a small txn on every month. I think I could go for Boundless or another option in 6/9 months after that Thoughts?

Amex DP - If you do a Global Transfer for your first card they won't let you have a credit limit increase until you have a FICO score. I tried to apply for one after 3 months, as wildly suggested and I got: "We were unable to get your consumer credit score from the agency(ies) listed at the end of this letter." I'm gonna do a whole new post in 3-4 months when I have an increase When I get my FICO I should have 6 months Amex, 5 months Chase + 3 months pledge loan (all -10% utilsation, should be quite rounded)
Pledge Loan hack
Hi everyone, I have a question about the Navy Federal pledge loan strategy. Does a pledge loan affect credit utilization in the same way a credit card balance does? For example, if I take out a $10,000 pledge loan and only have a $1,000 credit card limit, would that make my utilization appear as 90% or otherwise negatively affect my credit profile for a long time? I’d appreciate it if someone who has actually done this could explain how it showed up on their credit report and whether it had any impact on their score. Thank you.

I'm going through this now, and i've paid off 91% immediately, think they report at the end of the month, so can report back when shows
Most people get the ITIN. Few maximise it.
One thing I've noticed is that many entrepreneurs treat an ITIN as the finish line, when it's actually the starting point. The real opportunity comes from what you do next: building business banking relationships, establishing credibility, staying compliant, and creating systems that support long-term growth. The people who get the best results aren't always the ones with the most resources. They're usually the ones who understand the process and take consistent action. What's been the most valuable thing you've been able to do after getting your ITIN?

@Fenton Calloway I do online consultancy around account management, so it would be wise to move a section of my business into an LLC. Its not as easy as it sounds though, I'd have to look at additional paperwork (i.e insurances and covers) but it could work for new clients. I am going to register an LLC and leave it dormant until I sort stuff out though.
