I just checked report and none of my AUs are listed by accounts.
Is AAOA still at risk?
Where can I see it?

If they are not on the report, they are not doing anything to your AAOA.

I tired to find the answer this in the thread, and by searching, and couldnt  locate it. If someone is an AU on your card, can they apply for a sign up bonus with the same card on their own? ie I have an authorized user on my Avios card, can they apply for an Avios card on their own and still get the bonus? or does being an AU on a preexisting card cancel that?  Thanks!!

Yes.

thanks... I assume that yes means they CAN get the bonus. I don't have to cancel their AU card, correct? I appreciate  the help!

Being an AU will not make you ineligible.

That's good. I don't know why i never thought of calling amex and asking then if i can use the card without ever adding socials, and just ignore the letters, even though the rules are that you have to.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

dont add with ssn & avoid all these problems
Has already been proven that AUs show up on your CR even if you don't give over your SSN as long as they have your DOB.
