Chase doesn't accept SIN number and as part of the credit check there's validation too (ie. previous lived addresses/zip code etc).
Gotta say I'm pretty happy with CSR........ be nice if they can add Aeroplan to UR rewards as well.
I do not have (nor should I have) an SSN (not entitled to it). My SIN # (Canada) happens (coincidentaly) to be the same as a US SSN of someone who is deceased. AMEX and Bank of America can't seem to stop their automated systems using it, that's all, in my efforts to get US issued credit cards; TD and RBC don't have this problem; Chase won't even issue cards to non resident aliens they say. I was complaining about it in this thread to draw attention to the fact that there are some of us who would like a USD card that earns Aeroplan, and it's too bad Aeroplan partnered with Chase on this. Especially because it will dilute the points pool given now easier access to the US market for Aeroplan. Oh well, such is how it goes.
