Amex Authorized User??????

My boss just added me as an authorized user to his business Amex card, he had to give them my name, ssn and dob. My question is will this possible show up on my report as an authorized user or would it not show up because its a business account? It is a small business if that makes any difference, and I don't know why they would ask for all that info if it wasn't going too? Any ideas????

Because its a business account it doesn't show on personal CR unless the account defaults or due to late payments

Amex just requires all your info they're picky 

Before you app think...
Have you done your research of the CC?
Does it fit your spending?
Do you have a plan for the bonus w/o going into debt?
Can you afford the AF?
Do you know the cards benefits? Is it worth the HP?

If it's a business card they didn't really need your ssn and would have added you without it. I added a couple of my employees to my AMEX business card and they asked for ssn but I declined to provide. No issues, cards added. Chase was same way with Ink cards, asked for the ssn but I declined. I did add one employee to my AMEX Delta non business card and did provide a ssn but he needed a bump on his CR and it has helped a bit.
