Well my anniversary has just rolled around. Saw the annual fee post...thought about it and SM'd AMEX switching to the no annual fee product. I don't stay a ton at Hiltons, and not near enough to justify the higher annual fee. Combined with Gold status now via the AMEX Plat, and a FOREX charge on the card (Had a few Hilton stays outside of the US this past year) I didn't see the value.

Overseas applicants
I spoke to the Amex calling centre and they said that if you apply by phone, rather than online, you don't need a social security number, just a US address (which I have access to).
This suggests I should be able to apply from overseas using my US address (I am not a US citizen)
Has anyone else done this? Not sure how they would go with my credit rating (or absence of)
My reasons for doing this would be the high earn rate and Diamond qualification.
