But since you have cc's of your own I have to assume his high utilization is not dragging down your credit score too much.

Did you say you're gonna call back with it or did he mention that you should call it in ?

No one said otherwise. The question arises when you try activating it.

Tried adding AU by chat and the rep said the system won't let him enter it without at least one of either SSN or Bday

Approximate bday might work.
