yes, you can do it by phone without a ss#

Great, thanks. Did you just call the main CSR line? or MR?

I tried calling up to add an "Additional Cardholder" and they told me that I would have to provide the SSN when the card is activated if I don't provide it now...

i added the same 5 ppl to two of my golds one of my plats and one of the mrs's golds...was on the phone for almost 2 hours but the csr knew what i was doing and kept saying "wow you really know how to maximize your pts!" 2 hours for 200k pts is well worth it...will see if it triggers an F/R but i dont have anything to hide

but for business she wouldnt do it...so i am not sure bus is included.
Isnt it $175 per additional AU after 3 why is it worth it to add them for 10,000 MR

Adding a Gold AU is only $45 for 5!

We've only heard of one instance of success with Business Gold, anyone else try it for Bus Gold?

So what did you do paid $45 or paid $175 and will try to get a refund

I personally did the $175 as I would like the platinum cards for the people I added. After the points post I will downgrade my card to Green and the new AU's will downgrade as well and then I will ask for a refund.

Although if we are able to add without an SSN, I should be able to call up and add 5 Gold AU's or random names as they don't have the SSN to make sure they are real... no?

You might need to give them SSNs when activating the cards upon receiving them, if you didn't already give the SSNs.

Was going to do that but I wanted to be prepared for a FR . the people Im using arent giving me their SS# but would provide evidence that they are real people if I am questioned. If that helps I dont know

Is there a difference in the credit hit if one adds an AU or Additional Cardholder? If there is a hit involved I don't know why everyone is jumping?

Unless the level of the pull is weaker if these cases - something I have yet to hear of.

If they dont get an SS#, there isnt ANY effect on the credit. If they do, there MAY be, but even so, it likely wouldnt be a pull.
