I tried to activate an AU and AMEX required a SSN, is that new for business cards? They only required it on the card in someone else's name. They also wouldn't let me add it to the same login as another card in that person's name.

When I added an AU right after getting approved, it did not ask for AU's SSN.
I was successful in adding the card to the AU's login to combine w/ their other cards. It took a couple tries and wasn't straight forward, but start by logging in w/ their login, then go to add card. all else fails, call AMEX customer service.

I tried logging in first, didn't help. I could call AMEX, but I try to call as little attention to my account as possible since I have multiple AUs in my own name and I don't want them to question that.

are you doing that to get multiple amex offers? can you double/trip dip in the same offer using the AU accounts?

Assuming AMEX Offers actually show up on this card (which they haven't as of yet) each card is eligible, so if I have 4 cards (even if 3 are AUs in my own name) I'm eligible for each AMEX Offer 4 times (assuming its targeted on each card).

Thanks for the awareness! I honestly have not used this benefit before as I try to only shop in stores with reasonable return policies, but always good to have a fall back option on the credit card.
Me too but where I live most of the so called local boutique stores have about a 15 minute return policy LOL.

How do you activate the card without a ssn? When I activate online and via phone, I'm always asked ssn.

I just tested it to see if it was a problem with Dan's link or other affiliate links too. Obviously.

No real offer at the moment. OMAAT also wrote a quick thing on this that he's seeing the same. hopefully more offers will show up with time.

I thought it was just me, i tried chatting a few times, one rep mentioned it sounds like a technical error, inserting others are having the same issue..
My plan was getting 3PPD at Best Buy..
