Not all of a sudden. They are always asking for it bc they want/need it for their records. I have been ignoring it for a looooong time.

2 years ago on SBS I added myself as an AU in my own cards with ssn over 150 times (across multiple cards). My credit score didn't suffer from that and I've gotten  approved for lots of cc since then. My problem is that I can't get approval for Barclay cards- any advice?
I will not respond to PM about the UPS method.

I will not respond to PM about the BBLD method.

Do AU's on the freedom card get a $1500 maximum spend amount for bonus categories as well?

No. It is the same card number for all AU's.

Need advice:

I have called all 3 credit bureaus to remove myself as multiple AUs across other people's Amex accounts.

Results from Experian came back as "updated" confirming that i am the AU, and was not "deleted."

i repeated with same results, both online and calling.

What can i do to have them all deleted? (getting issues with Chase and Barclay)

Are the AU cards still active?
