Topic Wiki


The main benefit you get is lounge access, a steal for $100 USD P.A - I bought a year off superultimate and I have enjoyed using it ever since.

Benefits
American Express Centurion Lounge Benefits | Unlimited Entry + 1 Guest
Lufthansa Business Lounge Access or Senator Lounge Access when flying in Business | Unlimited Entry No Guest
Delta SkyClub Access when flying on Delta | Unlimited Entry No Guest
Virgin Australia Business Lounge Access (Even for US cards, Australian ID though) | Unlimited Entry No Guest
Priority Pass Select | Unlimited Entry + 2 Guests for lounge access globally

Risks
You will need to lodge some personal information to the seller, in this case superultimate has been fantastic and would trust him going forward
You will need to submit your SSN BUT to American Express, not to the seller. If you dont have an SSN, a passport will do just fine, even if it isnt US issued (I used my AU passport)

How it is done
Assuming that you meet the requirements for becoming an Authorized User, the seller will send a request to American Express. You will need to call them to finalize the ID verification but apart from that its all taken care of from superultimate. You will receive the card to your home address, or you can have superultimate forward the card internationally through UPS.

After that, you will be given a log in into American Express, feel free to register for Priority Pass and when you receive both cards, its all done.

Thanks so much!  I want to get split this with some close friends and just wondering if there's anyway to put a spend limit on their cards -- like $5000 or $1000

I think so, and it's much lower than $5,000. If you end up doing it, please let me know. I'd possibly be interested in joining.

I believe the lowest you can go is $200 for spending limit on auth users?

3. What if the additional user doesn't pay their bill -- will the primary account holder credit get hit?   how about vice versa -- if the primary account holder doesn't pay the bill, will all the additional user's credit get affected? ONLY THE CREDIT OF THE AH IS AT RISK.
IINM that's not true. The card goes on the credit report and if the AH doesn't pay the bill it affect the AU.

+1 And it affects the AU for 5/24

I have a Platinum that will be open until at least January 2020 be"h. PM if you'd like to buy 1 of 3 Plat AU slots.

ETA: Realized I should post a price. So I guess $125 per slot.

The basic benefits:
Probably missing something, but:

Hilton Gold Status (gets you upgrades/lounge access pretty frequently)
SPG/Marriott Gold Status- same as above, less likely to get lounge access, but some extra perks
$100 Fee credit for Gobal Entry or TSA precheck
Hertz 5 Star status (comes with a 4-hour grace period, which is nice)
Some SoulCycle benefits
Access to Fine Hotels and Resorts- for vacations, sometimes great deals on hotels- pay same price, get a free upgrade, $100 food credit, etc etc
Access to the Centurion Lounges
priority pass
Eurostar (train) premier lounges (probably something you’ll never use, but who knows. Paris is the main one.
Airspace Lounges (several, but significant one is JFK T5)
Delta Sky club access, when you fly delta
Virgin Australia Lounges when you fly Virgin.

i have asked amex the question about authorized users getting hit with negative info they said a missed payment etc. doesnt affect the AU
about 5/24 if chase rejects application due to this AU card call up reconsideration and tell them its an AU and they will reconsider it

DROPR. It most certainly affects you. But there are easy ways to remove it, though sometimes requiring you to close the AU card.

Is $125 too high to charge per AU per year?

+1. And amex can be a pain when it comes to removing AU's from the report.
