Reply To: Moved to EU – Keep UK card and open NL card

[comeocome]

As a NL citizen who moved to the UK 2 years ago, I kept my Dutch AMEX card, with my pre-existing dutch address and opened a UK Amex card, even before I arrived with global transfer. Naturally the UK Amex now has a UK address. After you have opened the account, my understanding is that they don’t really care anymore about your “ongoing” eligibility – as long as you keep a local address and ideally a local number for future correspondence. Unless they do a ad-hoc financial review – in which case then I don’t know anymore.

Both the NL and UK Amex are pretty much the same, except that the NL one comes with Schiphol Privium (basically Amsterdam airport fast pass). Every month I travel between UK and NL so I can’t live without it. And correct, UK nationals no longer qualify for it after Brexit. (UK nationals who moved here pre brexit, and have a residence permit can though).

I don’t have a partner, so I don’t care about the supplementary platinum card, which seems to be NL only tho. Not UK or US.
