Just curious why it is so easy overall for people the live abroad in this case canada to overall to get a US credit card, but in-turn it is very difficulat for a us citizen to get a cc say from canada, etc? I know a bit off subject, but the thought just crossed my mind. Granted most foreign CC's i woud not want due to crazy high aprs and lack luster rewards, but a question none-the-less. Understand this person is having a slight issue, but alot of other people don't
I had wondered that myself, and there is nothing legal or regulatory preventing them to issue cards to US citizens.
It seems it's about banks being unwilling to transfer credit history, so without it, you'd be going same route as here first...secured cards 🤷♀️
Secured cards are issued without much fuss.
Well with Amex transfer program ones credit history could be established pretty easily in say Canada/UK and various other countries... Wonder if ones just needs a PO box or similiar? Need simliar to an ITIN, etc?
I believe in the UK you are Verified through your Voter's Registration number...they call it something else though. But that's one difference and why.
