Hi all,
Has anyone been successful getting an AMEX for their business as a non-resident in America? If so, what did you do?

yes, but how does a business get a card as a foreigner?

You apply for it as such

Yes, but if you have no SSN/ITIN?
Do you have a US entity? Amex is issued by banks all over the world. You don't have to be in the US to get an Amex.

Yes, I've got a WY LLC with an EIN, just no personal SSN/ITIN
Then you'll probably not be able to get a business Amex, unless you have a lot of cash and can get private banking status with one of the major banks. You can of course try applying with banks and see what happens. But be careful about running too many credit checks. It can start to reflect poorly on your company.
You might be able to get a personal Amex from a US bank if you manage to open a personal account and can show you already have a credit card with a decent limit (10,000 USD or above). Will likely have to be done in person.
