IIRC you need to put in your credit card number when you sign up

You can apply,but if you want amex to pay for it you have to use your card for the application fee.
The application can't be completed without payment.

Glad to be of assistance, You can start the application and fill out some of the info already,but that will only save about 5 minutes.

After you get the card,submit the application,and get conditionally approved for the interview,keep checking for cancellations...iirc I got a slot less than a week from applying.

Is there any way to check appointment availability online before applying?

Can I apply now while I can get the credit without a planned interview date, and just schedule an interview whenever after my app is approved?

I tried to start filling out the info, but it brings me to a page that makes me register for a GOES membership. Am I supposed to register?

There's no way to check availability before you apply & get approved for the interview,unless you have someone who can schedule their own appt look for you.
yes
You have to schedule an interview within 30 days(which can be in more than 30 days) of approval,but just keep changing the date.

You can start using it instantly,and your GE card which you only need for land crossings into Canada comes in the mail.

Nothing to worry about, just your basic information, maybe 10-15 IIRC.

My license has my old address on it. Will my bank-credit card statements work as proof of address ?
