Wouldn't have helped. (Unless you give them names of people that don't exist...)
Because they would've matched my name to the primary account?
I'm thinking of adding my wife as well, but now I'm worried about too many AU. Everything I've read before today has said that just adding AU can't hurt your credit score or report (assuming healthy spending on AU's part), but now I'm not so sure. Does what CM wrote only apply if you add yourself as AU, or does it apply to adding any AU?
How comfortable would DDFers be adding another (legit) AU in this situation? I have 3 AMEX cards, 2 are from over 2 years old, 1 was opened 2 months ago. My wife was an AU on the oldest card for over a year now, I want to add her on the other 2 cards.
