Please confirm this if you know:
I get one Global Entry fee rewarded per card, so each free additional Green card (on a biz plat account) is entitled to one refund? And the name on the card does not have to match the name on Global Entry?
Thanks.

If I have clear can I add 3 family members and get it all refunded?

Also, would their membership renew when mine does or would theirs be separate?
120 characters? Hmm, I wonder what I could write with 64 characters. Boy, it's gonna be hard to use up 15 characters. W-

Agreed, this must be the biz plat, and you are making risky moves.

Interesting I can't add my new card to my online profile with the card number and temporary CID I got when being approved for the card.

Are you sure it's prorated for cancelling? I thought only for downgrading.
I canceled a card on amex and when I canceled the rep said I would get the prorated amount back for my annual fee and it never got credited I called CS and rep said only if canceled before 30 days.

Yeah ignore what I said above - I misread and thought he was asking about downgrading.

someone may want to add to the business card offer post an additional opportunity to earn an extra 20k points by adding authorized employee user and spending $4k on that authorized card.  It was under my offers section.  Green card is 0 to order and might as well spend 4K of the 15K on the Green card to get an additional 20k points so that's total of a minimum 155K points on the 120,00 offer or 185K points for those with the targeted 150,000 points offer!

incredible opportunity to rack up some amex points if you are doing the 15k spend anyway
