SBS - How many cards did you register?

[rileywiles23]

Bump:

Never too early to start getting ready!

Didnt find this in the thread, does anyone have advice on adding AU's and not getting FR'ed?

How many should I sign up every time? How often?

TIA

There ain't no clear answer to your questions.

PGFHGS.  Most here have been preparing for the past month already.

Sam's Club was even earlier than Amex Checkout.

That reached the max rather quickly IIRC

I'm going to stay noobish on this until I figure out how to add personal AUs in my and DW's names and not have them show up on our CR.

Not worth adding them, not applying for cards and then cancelling/fixing it once SBS is done?

Once you cancel an AU, wouldn't it remain on your report for 2 years like a regularly closed CC?
If you're referring to disputing the cards, that's possible even right away, but just another hassle...

Even if it is on your report and even if you don't close it, you should be able to convince them that as an AU, it shouldn't affect you.

Convince a recon rep? Perhaps. I've never had to explain it before. But how could you explain why you have 1000 AUs in your name? Doesn't seem sketchy to a rep even though "it doesn't affect you"?

Maybe you just like having cards.

it's not a pull it's an account so it stays on your report for longer than 2 years. IIRC 10 years

Or you call the three bureaus like I did and tell them as an AU you are not financially liable for the account and therefore it should not be on your credit report at all and be removed. And it will be.
