American Express Membership Rewards - How do I get an AMEX in the United States?

Hi,

I am based in New Jersey, NJ. Although I am not a citizen of the United States, I was a student here for 4 years, and now am working in a consulting firm.

However, my credit record is not perfect, since I moved addresses several times during college, and applied for maybe one too many cards to get the freebies.

Anyone know of any way I can get an AMEX card?, are there are secured AMEX cards?. Can I open a bank account with Amex and get it?. I applied for the green card about 6 months ago, and was turned down. Since then, I have a good credit record. I also have a good salary.

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
I am really looking for any help that I can get on this topic.

Thank You,
Rajesh

Secured Amex : have a look at www.cobaltcard.com (http://www.cobaltcard.com)
-------------

If you have a bank account ouside of the US, with good credit record, you could apply for an International Dollar Card : http://home3.americanexpress.com/intldollarcard/default.htm

Opening an Account with Amex is certainly a good thing.
