Would be more than happy to refer any FTer interested in the French FB Amex which gets me a 5k referral bonus

and the standard 3k sign up bonus and first year fee waiver for the new card member. Please PM if you have any questions.
I already was referred through someone else, only I don't know if that's going to work out well, but that's another story.

First part: yes, you only need a French bankaccount. And for non-residents who don't have a French bankaccount it can be very difficult to get one. Banks normally only opens accounts when they expect profit from you, so if you only want an account for a creditcard, it's not quite simple. But if you have a French bankaccount, it should be no problem.
Second part: I don't know what the rules are for supplement card holders. For this French card I'm quite a newbee: it arrived just last week.
