Airline booking in different currency

Hi all!

I have a gold card, just wondering what the points would be if I book with an airline directly in a foreign currency.

Do I get 2x for direct and 2x for foreign currency therefore 4x?

Anyone done this before?

Does Amex check salary?

I’m thinking of getting an Amex gold card as my first Amex as I will soon be starting a graduate job in a few weeks with a very good salary. The thing is I’m seeing a really good offer right now of 30k points if you spend 3k within the first 3 months. Will Amex check my salary if I apply for the card right now instead of waiting and indicate my future salary or should I wait a few weeks before applying and risk losing the offer? For context I currently do not have any income as I am taking a break between university and work however I have a pretty good credit score from keeping a credit card and using it extensively for almost a year now. Appreciate any advice!
