Chase and Citi don't ask for anything.

Although with Citi you can give the SSN if you would like and they don't ask for DOB.

Is this for Platinum only or for PRG as well?

Well IDK if there's a way to get the MR into AAdvantage they have a great million-miler status. Otherwise I'm sure there are other tings to do with unlimited miles. But obviously there's some kind of limit. We know it's more than 1, thanks to dangster. Ill call them soon and try to figure out.

You can't really get MR into AA at any decent ratio (via SPG it's less than 2:1).

I don't get it, why are you talking about other cards when only AMEX gives the AU bonus?

+1 -- MR cards that I have include Plat, Premier and Business Gold.  Can I get the bonus for all three, including the Business Gold?  Can I add the same 5 people for each account?

@pianodule we're missing lots of info. Definitely sounds like it'll work - the same people can be AU on two accounts for sure (what if your son is also making purchases for your business?), the question is if this bonus applies to all the dif acct's.

@ashero, if I remember correctly it's 3:1 that way... but then again, maybe you cna get these miles in the SPG card?

@nitantnel - Amex MR lets you transfer your MR to various Frequent flyer programs, although you don't always get Status miles

It's 3:1 but you get 25% bonus for SPG > AA (20k increments), so effectively .416 AA per 1 Amex, hence less than 2:1 (but more than 3:1).

Occasionally there are 2:1 AMEX:SPG transfer specials.

Just called for myself once, they told me that they will note the account, and after spending i'll receive the points. tried for my wife, called 3 times with no success, but I'll try again.

Have the PR Gold and Biz Gold cards.  Called MR and got a rep that said I'd need to call CS to add the AU.  She also said they'd only apply the bonus code if I was targeted.  Might try again but 0 for 1 so far.
