Hey Tyler, I have both BOA and Chase CC's, I have an ITIN but neither of these banks are giving me a credit score. Chase won't give a score without a SSN and wont accept ITIN. BOA did accept my ITIN but still nothing appearing in my credit score. I checked CheckFreeScore the website you mentioned and it says it was unable to validate my identity. In theory I should have a really good credit score by now. What can I do to move forwards with this?

Good video and great hints. Small hint in return: the ITIN is not mandatory to get your first credit card and particularly if you start with Amex Global Transfer, there is no reason not to start with a high end card.

@0cardmastery

AHH...Yes, this is true for your first card...But, if you want to go deeper into travel rewards or perhaps become eligible for business credit down the road, you will need to build your credit score/profile with your ITIN to be able to get in with other banks. Depending what you mean by HIGH END card, I assume you're referring to Amex charge cards like the green, gold, and platinum. These cards are great for travel rewards as well as perks and benefits. However, these cards do not contribute to successfully building your credit score since they do not report a set credit limit to the credit bureaus. By starting with these cards, you are thinking short-term and putting the carriage before the horse, so to speak.
@0cardmastery
@0cardmastery 4 ай бұрын
additionally, your first card should be a card that you are willing to keep forever (Example - a low or NO annual fee card), because it is the backbone of your credit age/history (15% of your credit score). If you choose a high annual fee card like the platinum ($695 annual fee) and decide later down the road the benefits don't justify the annual fee and you want to cancel; you will lose all that credit history, thus bringing down your credit score.

The virtual address is hit or miss. You can try 24/7 parcel (lynden location), as long as the address doesnt code as a Commercial Mail Forwarding Agency it will work sometimes. If it does, then banks will recognize it right away and deny your application.
