Maybe because of this from DDMS

"Q: How many secondary cards can I have?
A: Officially up to 99, but trying to add 99 cards to your account is a red flag and can trigger a financial review where you must submit your tax returns or else your accounts will be shut down.  Some people have been shut down adding fake names as secondary users on their account."

why the need to add fake names? I never understood that? Doesnt everyone have family?

Don't add any amount that they can possibly double and put you over :) That better?

You can check how many AU cards you have for each card online. Shouldn't be too difficult to do that before adding more.
true, but my previous orders had been done too recently and weren't yet available online.

no, not better.. some people have large families  :)
Besides, adding 99 AU's doesnt mean anything.. except that you added 99 AU's

Mothers side on day, fathers side the other day. Though most people are not adding 40/50/60 in one shot.

DDF people arent the norm you know.. For some the mothers & the fathers side can be 200 AU's.
What I am trying to say is that if you go over the 99 AU limit it generates a paper mailing.

So how do you decide who gets to be on which card :)

Is there a general consensus on how many aus are safe to add w/o possibly triggering an fr? And would biz cards be any different than personal cards?

I don't want to be the guinea pig 😜. Started a new thread. I think that's (very) slightly less dangerous than raising red flags with Amex

There will be SBS, just waiting on amount, if any. I do not think that recognition will change anything.

You can check how many AU cards you have for each card online. Shouldn't be too difficult to do that before adding more.
Once again, a spreadsheet makes this infinitely easier to track using a pivot table.

i assume your doing phone becuase you don't want to do SSN or DOB? if you are adding SSN and DOB, then just do it online.
