    What's your UK income
    Don't put your trust into an Experian score - it is not a number any bank will ever use & it is generally a waste of money to purchase it. They are also selling you insurance you dont need.

    Depends how it's worded in the question. If it specifies "UK" then no. Or if it says "salary" and your income is from investments then no.

    It says "Your Annual Personal Income" and explains in a hint box that "Please provide your personal annual income before tax."

    I'm applying for the platinum AMEX cashback card.

    Sounds like you're free to include anything, as long as you can justify it should they query it.

    Thanks. Done that, applied, they didn't give me an answer instantly, so I need to wait for up to 10 working days.
