This could be a great thing if it worked.

I did that. I ordered a NW Visa by using my brother's Texas address. I only got it for the sign up bonus (and the Miles to Go promo) and plan to cancel it before I get charged the fee for the 2nd yr (first year fee was waived). Downside is paying the monthly bills. Cannot pay online from a Cdn bank, so had to get my brother to pay my bill for me, and then reimburse him.
