adding authorized users to mileage earning card?
« on: October 18, 2010, 12:06:53 PM »
I'm wondering if I add an authorized user to my Shtarvoods account (other than my spouse), will their spending count towards my $15000 threshhold, and will their miles earned deposit to my account?  Also how many authorized users can I add?  I have a close friend I know I can trust to pay me back for whatever he uses.  Will this work and is this considered a normal, legitimate usage in the eyes of the CC company?

Will it ask for that person's social? If not, can I call and add it?

I'm pretty sure the SSN is optional.

When I tried adding the social of the additional user on my Chase BA card, they refused me. They only wanted us to fill out a form making the other person a JOINT user which I wasn't interested in. But can I do it with Starwood?
