Take a look at your report and you'll see for yourself that no Amex/Chase/BofA/Citi Business cards are on there.

I'm asking about AU. So AU (employee) card for AMEX business won't count against me in credit report, then?

Ok thanx. Not sure why I thought the regular account does. I got confused because the pull from a biz card does show up

They don't ask for it when added the card but they do ask for dob and ssn when activating. All amex biz cards are like that now.
That's what I thought. Thanks for clarifying.

Have an AU and was setting up online login. They asked me for ss and dob but I did not have.....so they asked me security questions and verified.....Will that hit the credit report without ss and dob?

impossible for them to add something to a CR without a SSN. As posted somewhere in this CC section about a rare case of matching addresses but thats a 1 in a few hundred case scenario.
