My apologies to Oilersbaby for derailing the thread.

It seems, and this is somewhat hearsay, that if you own a Canadian AMEX card and have had it for two years, you can apply for an American AMEX card and they will issue you one.

This will then go towards your American Credit rating.

just rumour but for those of you with AMEX cards, might be something worth looking into. I am going to contact AMEX to see if that is in fact the case and if it is, I will apply for one, just so that in a couple of years from now, I can get the US one. I am not in a position to purchase a home there yet anyways.

Nope, skip that, I just spoke with AMEX and they said you must have a US social security number.
