If everyone is using 24/7 Parcel, won’t Amex find that strange? That there are a lot of people who live in Niagara N.Y.?
I already have my first US Amex card and I use 24/7. If the address got flagged does that mean all my future credit cards will he refused by Amex to be sent to that address or is it a problem only with the first credit card?
Great question, and for 90% of users who are already with 24/7, it seems to be safe. If you apply for a new card I’d assess it as being a riskier coin-flip, but the real danger is for people just starting their US game and having their applications turned down by the US Global Transfer team. Your current accounts should be safe, hope that helps!
This article could literally be summarized in 4-5 sentences
I personally enjoy the conversational tone, and appreciate that it takes time to explain instead of just hammering out confusing bullet points.

I’m skeptical of “data points” (aka unsubstantiated rumour) trashing 247parcel.com. Many of us use them and their customer service is beyond superb. I trust them to open express envelopes and repack my mail in smaller packaging. I trust them (and pay them extra) to carry my items across the international border and mail them in Canada, speeding up my reception of cards. I love the fact that they always appear on Amex’ annual Shop Small vendor list, subsidizing my payments to them by USD$50. I love the fact that when the border isn’t stuck like a booger that won’t flick, I can drive down there day or night to fetch my stuff. In the last year, I’ve submitted successful applications to Amex, Chase, Citi, using my 24/7 address. I don’t know what all the fuss is about.
It ain’t broke enough for me to follow another of Kirin’s cryptic adventures to Hintsville.
That’s a great piece of advice for people residing in Southern Ontario. Unfortunately, it makes up about 3-4% of the nation’s landmass and so there is no one-size-fits-all solution.
I’ve seen a few people get their denials denied myself and heard the phone calls. I strongly believe in the credibility of many enthusiasts and want to give those encountering trouble an alternative.
The unfortunate thing is that simply listing a forwarder can cause either a run on the supplier, causing credit cards to be flagged/banned (been there, seen it happen), or for applicants with such an address to start having issues with the GT team.
I’m happy you’ve been fortunate enough to avoid issues but that doesn’t mean they do not happen to others or, indeed, to addresses as a whole. For new applicants via 24/7, for example, I have seen many encountering real issues. There’s no need to go on the offensive against the data I’ve gathered from the community as simple “rumour”.
“That’s a great piece of advice for people residing in Southern Ontario. Unfortunately, it makes up about 3-4% of the nation’s landmass”
Seriously? What does land mass have to do with anything? 25% of Canadians live there. They are the ones applying for credit cards, not landmass.
No need to go on the…
Curious, why is your name trademarked? Or is that even your real name, Mr. denb?
Disappointed that this long winded article poses questions and identifies issues without providing solutions.
Maybe make an effort?
I’d be very surprised if the picture at the top of the post was irrelevant.
Hi Kirin.
So – no concrete recommendation of anything that actually works?
At least two of the forwarders used/referenced in this piece function. Don’t want to cause a run on a single forwarder or arouse the attention of unwanted eyes.
