Interesting that adding a period works, my real gmail has a period in it as the one without a period was taken...
Hope that person is not getting my emails as well.

How long does it take for amex AU cards to arrive?
Workflowy. You won't know what you're missing until you try it.

I would test it out. Google says that it totally ignores periods, so there shouldn't be a way to have different gmail accounts with the only difference being a period.

I don't remember exactly, but most of mine came around 5-7 days after I ordered them, IIRC. Still plenty of time.

So I added a friend as an AU on an AMEX card. It worked out great and he got approved for two cards. Then AMEX did a security freeze on him (they just wanted to confirm his identity) and he didn't get back to them in time so they closed his accounts and wouldn't let him reopen them.

My question is how do I protect myself from any adverse action from Amex. Drop his card as an AU?

Unless he had balance on your card that he didn't pay, your should be fine.

Thanks!

Next question, how do you add a young child as an AU? I get the trick where you call and don't give a social, but what do you do with the birthday? Give a fake and change later? (this would be for a baby if it's possible...)

This is for credit building purposes.

I didn't realize adding yourself was an option.

When calling in to add AU is it risky to ask them to do 5 for all my cards?
Or should I call in separately?

I did two each for all of my cards in one call. Five of yourself probably wouldn't fly though
