1) No.
2) It can only help.
3) An old Citi or Chase card that has a low utilization ratio.

I have tried adding someone with bad credit & amex didnt let him on... just saying.. I did realize you mention Citi or Chase

Is it safe to assume that they don't keep records that "person A has gotten numerous AU's without giving ssn & said will call back later".

They will follow up, but you can push them off up to a point.

They require you to give birthday when you add an AU.  Are they verifying anything through that?

Anyone have any experience with Amex following up later on to get ssn on AU's, & if yes, were you able to just close that au or could they shut the whole account ?

They follow up, they send letters and emails and keep sending them. I have yet to respond to one letter or email, haven't had any issues

I'm no expert, but I feel like doing this excessively is asking for a FR.
Workflowy. You won't know what you're missing until you try it.

Would 5 per account be considered excessive ?
