There's no pull.

Validation and vindication.

Can someone confirm this please?

Just called and spoke to 2 reps who both said there is only a soft pull.

Email Address
DOB
SSN

Isnt it $175 per additional AU after 3 why is it worth it to add them for 10,000 MR

you can add additional GOLD cards to your PLAT account for $45 for up to 5 additional cards.

$45 for 50k pts is always good

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.
that's not true.  there is no pull, but there is definitely a effect on the credit, because it's added as a new account on their credit.   depending on your credit score/report relative to theirs, is what will determing how it effects them.

Maybe you need to reread what I wrote.

First, if they do not get a SS#, it will not be showing up on your credit report, as they have no way of tying the additional card account to a member's credit without the SS# (or at the very least an address).

Second, see bold above. "May be" means--at least where I come from--that there is a possibility it will affect the credit report. If they report it, it'll show up as a new account. If they don't report it, it won't.

However, in BOTH cases, it will not result in a hard pull.

Clear enough?

So if one was to give an SSN then when you remove them as an AU it would remove the account from there Credit Report and there Credit status would return to how it was?
