I got an email  from amex asking me to supply the name of an authorized user which I obviously don't. Is this common? Is it safe to ignore this?

did you mean they asked for the SS#
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

 will Being an AU on a primary account that has bad history affect the AU negatively?  An Amex rep told me that it can only affect it positively. Not sure if she is right. anyone know?

Can each AU have an account so they are able to get some of the twitter/AMEX deals?
