Its the million-dollar question. On the one hand we all know about the concept of piggybacking to life someones credit and that can be from simply an added card onto an existing account. Now what about the reverse

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.

If you can get a rep to notate your account saying you will get the points after getting the additional cards you should be good to go. Once you get that notation saying you're eligible you're fine.

I think most CSR have no clue of the exact rules of this offer and are shooting from the hip. One CSR told me that *woods works I asked him if he's sure since its not a MR card , he came back and said oh! Your correct. Another one told me I could add up to 10 additional cards because the offer is max 100K MR per card. Another one told me 5 per card.

Let's just hope that when the dust settles we walk out with some nice MR points

Once you have the notation saying they will give you the points you should be good, because you can raise hell and point to it if they try and deny you down the road when posting the points.

just curious, why would you do that and not just let them add points for your *woods card?

He most likely doesn't have the card and was just asking out of sheer curiosity. No one is that dumb I think  :o

I just called about the *woods card and he said there is no offer but he can give me 3k per additional card holder.  No social needed.

10k MR for adding additional AMEX card
« Reply #252 on: August 11, 2011, 12:13:01 PM »
Can anyone verify that they were able to add an AU that already has that card of his own?

The 'woods' had this offer years ago I was able to get 2500 Spg points per additional cardholder.

Drop off topic but when I called I mentioned how they are doing a much better job with customer service than chase and she said she is making a note on my account about that. Any idea what that means?

Are they giving you 10k Starpoints or MR points for each card?
