Looks like you need reread what I wrote, again.

Without the SS# *(or at least an address tied to the name)* there cannot be any report activity.

Riddle me this:

How could there be report activity on a name like "John Smith" with no attendant SS# and/or physical address? What are they going to go on... "john Smith?"

Yea, uhu. 
yes, i'm sure john smith without a dob, ss or address would be a good one.  you should try that, see if they let you put it on.   but when your name is aaron jakobovitz and your date of birth is 3.14.85 and "coincidentally" they have in their files a aaron jakobovitz that has cards from them with the exact same dob, it's not very hard for them to do the math; with or without an address.   like i said, i've seen it happen; on just a dob.      now, you could keep talking (as it seems you're wont to do), but that's all it is; i'm telling you a fact.

"Wont to do"? Really? Well, Mr. Shakespeare, this may not have occurred to you, but what if you gave a different DOB?

So, for your benefit, let me repeat: No SS (sometimes they may not even ask). No address (not asked for). And different DOB.

Golden.

You mean a future 100k, right?

Just have a reg CSR add the additional cardmembers and *then after spending the $1*, call up MR a couple days later and say you want the points for those cards as well.

As long as you get the 10k for the other ones you signed up for, you should be able to convince an MR rep to give you for the second card as well.

Was Planning to lay low until I get some cards and then call. However he was going on and on that there is misinformation being spread by CSR and he will note the account for ALL the cards that I signed up for. Let's wait and see.

The trouble is I have a plat card that I need to cancel soon to avoid the fee . Was going to add  5 Gold AUs to the Plat . I'm not adding people if it might  turn into a 6-8 week complicated process. Not worth the $

Some encouragement for those who don't get it on the first call:
I had to call MR three times - All in the space of half hour.
First call: As soon as the rep heard me talk about the 10K for additional cardholders, she told me that it is only available for targeted accounts.
So I hung up and immediately called again.
Second call:
The rep had no idea what I was talking about. Spend 5 minutes looking up offer code 5721, and came back saying that it must be something cardmember services deals with, so he transferred me to that department. The rep from that department had no idea what I was talking about, so looked it up for 5 minutes and came back aplogising that she couldn't help me.
So I hung up and immediately called again.
Third call:
As soon as the rep heard me talk about the 10K for additional cardholders, she says "sure, I can help you with that!" She didn't even ask me for the offer code 5721. She notated my account, and she then transferred me to cardmember services to add the additionals. When the cardmember services rep heard that I want to add 5 additionals, she says, "this must be for the 10K offer for additional cardholders, right?" She was more than happy to help, and I did not need to supply SSN's.

My MR rep added the additional cards for me without transferring me to cardmember services.

So he basically said he notated that you would get 10k for each AU you added?

Sigh. I called 800-AXP-EARN three times... so far:

Call 1 @ 10:51pm ET: rep said I must be targeted.

Call 2 @ 10:53pm ET: rep said I must be targeted. She mentioned that there were blog sites promoting this.

Call 3 @ 11:08pm ET: rep said he'd transfer me to Cust Serv and they could add the cards for me. He said I would automatically get the 10k points per card. I said, "even if you don't add the offer code?" and he said "yes." When I told the CSR that I wanted to add 5 add'l cards, she asked if it was for the 10k promotion. When I said yes, she said I needed to be targeted and it wasn't showing up on my account. She didn't want to add the AUs only to have me _not_ get the points. She mentioned that blog sites were promoting this, but the sites had it wrong... you need to be targeted AND need to provide SSNs.

Not sure if I'll give up or try again tomorrow.

From your statement you seem to imply that more generous reps work during business hours. I haven't seem to find that consistent.

I've been wondering the same thing. I sure hope not.
