AMEX pushing customers to add AUs?

[A1Credit]

It seems that whenever I chat with AMEX CRs they always ask me about adding AUs.  Can anyone tell me why they seem to push this so hard?

Other than more spend and more money for them? No.

Every time...they are always trying to get me to earn more cash back! I always tell them no, and sometimes they really dig in. I close out the window and go on with my day.

This made me laugh.  I'm much too nice to do that.  They are pushy and what's worse is I only have a $1000 CL.  Like how much of this could I possibly share with anyone???

Got a side question, since this is a fresh topic and likely to be seen.  If someone adds me as an AU, does it result in a HP on my report?  Never done it, so I have no clue.

No, it does not.  But you will not get the cardholder's full history, just the day they add you

@JimBo99. A1Credit is correct about Amex not giving the history of the card. But on the off chance you're thinking about a different card and was just asking because this is a post about AU's, other cards do report the history. It depends on the card.

I received an offer to add AUs to one of my Amex accounts the other day, so if you are going to add one, it may not hurt to hop on chat and ask.

"When you add Additional Card Members to your Blue Cash Everyday® Credit Card, you can share valuable benefits with those most important to you and earn even more cash back. And, with this special offer, you can earn up to $100 in statement credits -- a $25 statement credit for each of the first four new Additional Card Members that are added through this email and each spend $250 or more in purchases on their Cards in the first 3 months of Card Membership."

I'm willing to be anyone's AU if we split the bonus.
