Is this a thing? I added my husband onto my SPG last weekend as an AU, tried online but it gave me a 10-14 day message so I just decided to shoot them a phone call and handle it. CSR helped me out and got him added and said his card would arrive in 7-10 days. I then received THREE alerts from experian stating that they had blocked three attemped hard inquiries from Amex?
I'm a little confused as to why they would need to do that, and to make three tries at it. Fortunately for me Ex is on ice and they didn't get through.

Yeah, I thought it was strange. I’ve never experienced this with any other cc account I’ve added him to. I would’ve been really peeved if my Ex wasn’t locked and they’d gotten through.
Odd.
Have they had any kind of negative history with Amex ?
I would check your other reports. I had EX frozen by accident when I app’d for a card and they pulled TU and never mentioned it. I called because it was pending and they said they needed EX unfrozen. No hint they pulled TU at all.

He has very minimal and young credit history, they didn’t pull him but they pulled me- the cardholder, but no negative history with Amex of any kind for either of us.
I wouldn’t have been surprised if they pulled him for whatever reason but I was kinda shocked they attempted to pull me. Nothing has showed up on my other reports yet, gonna hope it stays that way because I might spontaneously combust since I just had a ton of inquiries hit from buying a new car.
I would call Amex Credit bureau unit and ask them about it. Maybe new accounts
Both numbers can be found on the Back door number thread.
They shouldn’t have pulled your credit again to add a AU unless the CSR screwed up and did something wonky.
I could see pulling your credit again if you were adding a joint account holder but since Amex doesn’t allow joint accounts. I really have no idea.
Call them or maybe a mod will tag @Anonymous and he can shed some light
