Had plane tickets post with only 1x instead of 3x on my Green, tried to get support to correct. They claim it’s ineligible because it is not in USD. Surely this can’t be right, there is nothing in the terms saying it’s only for US purchases, and I have gotten 3x on other travel and transit purchases such as hotel and subway so far in the UK.

Not giving it on foreign purchases would kinda defeat it’s purpose as a travel card..

Came over this seemingly abandoned skyscraper in the middle of LuJiaZui, just a couple blocks from the Pearl Tower. Plot completely overgrown and gone unkept. Photos taken from the Kempinski Hotel, where I’m currently staying. Staff said it had been like this for many years.

Anybody know the story? Crazy to me that such a building can exist in the middle of the financial district. I assume some developer that went bankrupt, but the land must still be worth a lot. Why is seemingly noone interested in buying it?

There were earlier rumors about a new KYAC EO requiring proof of citizenship. This order has now been signed by Trump, with some minor changes. Link

Perhaps most relevant to us, is section (vi), advising on risks on:

*the use of an individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN) to obtain credit products or open depository accounts where the applicant lacks verified lawful immigration status. Although an ITIN facilitates tax compliance, its use in lieu of a Social Security number or valid work-authorized visa may be identified as a risk factor requiring enhanced due diligence to ensure the account is not being utilized to facilitate the unlawful employment of unauthorized aliens.*

Exact effects are still unknown, as the Secretary of the Treasury shall issue a formal Advisory to financial institutions within 60 days of the order. If financial institutions decide the extra due diligence is not worth it, this might be the end of ITIN lending all together.
