They will get reported even if you close the next day IINM
Sorry should have clarified, after reading this is what my impression is, amex biz au can be added online without a ssn number and will not be reported to the cb for anyone, whether you are an au on  your own card or someone else is an au on your card. Is this correct?

Are there any ways to create a sign in for an au that doesn't have a ssn attached to it? They're saying I need to provide that info before making an online account

All amex and chase cards that Im an AU showed up on my CB even without giving my sun# or DOB. What funny is that on my wife account her amex it states member since 2012 (which is correct) and my brother whose name is spelled wrong and lives at a different address (never gave SS# or DOB) on his card it has member since 94. I guess they picked it up based on "family"

If I have a few au's with my name (I.E. primary card holders name), and SSN, are they considered primary cards or au's?

If they are au's how can they possibly be primary cards?

I can ignore amex emails reminding me to add an ssn to my au's, right?
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

Is there any reason why amex doesn't allow me to make a new/seperate login for any of my secondary/AU cards?
When I put in the billing zip code it says its wrong...

No,
if that's a problem, then how can I do it?
Do I make up a SSN?
