Do he need an AMEX card to transfer the points to EB? As far as I can see on the SK EB page, you can book cars using EB points. That often means you can transfer points from Hertz too, but the transfer conversion is often so stupidly bad that I would never do it.

And you then still need to spend money. For the setting of two adults and two kids you need the Elite card. To qualify to get the two 2-4-1 vouchers you need to spend 300.000kr plus the fee for the card.

Another important factor: You might say, 4.000 SEK a year is not too bad as the insurance included in the card is kind of handy.... well, they will not help you if you are not registered to live within SE or NO. HAd that dance when my laptop was stolen on a trip and I was registered in Germany. They told me: "No! You need to be registered Swedish resident for the insurance to cover that". A year later after being back in Sweden, all claims have been dealt with swiftly and without any questions.

To get the personnummer you need to prove the tax authority you have work in Sweden or can afford your life here without aid. The second might work if you have work in UK but that will be hard. Skatteverket is a really mean agency!
And then, last but not least, you need to have a credit history to get the card approved by the AMEX risk management department. This means you have to have filed at least one full year tax return with enough income in Sweden.

There would be a need to have a bank account in Sweden as well to pay from. Or?
Though once getting all of the other requirements lined up that is the smaller hurdle. But if there is no income in Sweden, there is a need to make an international transfer to the account. As long as the UK remains in the EU, no biggie, once UK leaves fees may be back OK that.

A reputable history with AMEX is enough. Just ask for your case to be evaluated beyond the first line socialists. This also works in other countries, i.e. if you just moved to the US but have had an AMEX for years in another country, they'll happily provide one regardless of your credit status
