Among many other reasons, that's why I have a spreadsheet with all my card numbers, names, expiration, cvv, etc that I keep on dropbox. Besides for being a PITA to lug around.

I use google docs. Why does everyone use dropbox?

Either way, lesson that people should only add real names and the people know about it.
You have that many people let you use their information to add as AU?

The signup bonus is for the primary after he completes the spend requirement.

Just got a bunch of new Amex Biz SPG AU cards, and in order to activate them you must call in and enter ssn and dob. Cannot be done online apparently (at least for this batch of cards). Major PITA.
Anyone else having this prob?

I applied for 6 AU cards for myself last week (2 for each of 3 AMEX personal cards). When my CK score was updated today, both scores (I think EXP and TU) dropped 35 pts each because of "new accounts opened". Will calling the bureaus to remove these as new accounts restore the previous scores?

I think ck puts way more weight on new accounts than fico does. See my post here comparing fico and ck scores
