Do authorized users on amex business cards get reported? I know in general the primary card user doesn't but never tried authorized users.

Business cards do not show up on one's personal report until and unless you begin defaulting.

For most business cards but not all. Some business cards do report to your CR so the AU's will also.
Only on DDF does 24/6 mean 24/5/half/half

Last time a pulled a BR was around 08-09. At that time I had 10-15 (AOR days) different business cards. IIRC the only ones that showed up on the report were Amex cards.

No difference what company. The only time it's an issue is when you're a joint account holder, AFAIK.

And how about a card that I'm currently a joint and I downgrade to au, in this case the bank has the ssn, will I still be able too?

As long as you're no longer a joint, you should be fine.

Just got another email from amex requesting SS#s for authorized users. Should I continue to ignore? The last email was a couple of months ago.
