Authorized users

[sammy n]

Have you ever done it? Was it simply over the phone no issue?

It was a while back but yes.

Anyone ever notice this... the 3rd and 2nd to last digits of amex cards are 00 for primary, 01 for the first authorized user, 02 for the next, etc.

Yup. I found that interesting, too.

[Redbull3]

Also found a pattern on the last digit... at least this is the case for me...
first 5 AU: 0, 8, 6, 4, 1
next 5 AU: 9, 7, 5, 3, 1 (1 less for the first 4 of the previous group, and the last 1 is the same)
next 5 AU: 9, 7, 5, 3, 0 (first 4 the same as previous group, the 5th is 1 less)
next 5 AU: 8, 6, 4, 2, 0 (1 less for the first 4 of the previous group, and the last 1 is the same)
next 5 AU: 8, 6, 4, 2, 9 (first 4 the same as previous group, the 5th is 1 less)
this continues on for me...

any one else??

pardon my crazy.

a little bored today?

lol, it's not useful, but I know the full account number for all subsequent AUs I order for this account (not at 99 yet), problem is I can't do much without the 4 digit code... THAT has no pattern.

[yitrap]

Ha! I'll bet nobody dreamed of the power of DDF when planning the algorithm for this!

[Square]

Unfortunately it's a known algorithm to match a valid cc. Each primary starts with the lowest valid number of a block,  and any additional will get the next valid number.

I am chatting to cancel 3 AUs on platinum card within 60 days (got GE benefit)- I thought I would get the full 300 back, rep is saying its prorata- is that true?

No

No

she says that you only get the full AF refund if the card has not been used since the day the AF was charged- thoughts?
now, a few minutes later she is saying the fee will be charged for 2 months- and at 25 a month - so that's 50- she said its 2 months because the card was used for than 1 month

It was a chat rep! I hope the entire 300 refunds and I don't have to worry about it

DROCR then , you should be fine.

Ok, I closed them, will see what happens

Well believe it or not, I only got refunded 250 per AU card not 300 despite cancelling within 60 days. Thoughts on how to get the full refund? Any specific language that says if cancelled within 60 you get the full 300 back?

I've definitely confirmed that with chat reps, and probably have a picture of the conversation somewhere.

ok, I will take whatever you can find, everyone here seemed so sure, usually everyone is on the mark

Is it still possible to backdate an AU on a Amex card?

Believe they stopped that a while back. It used to be.
