Re: Zync - can't add authorized user

Thanks for info.  I was able to add my sister to my Zync account and have a card ordered for her in her name by calling the number on the back of the card.  Im sure she will enjoy the AU CR score bump from almost 20 years of backdating goodness!

I think Webby added DH as an AU on her card; I believe others have as well.  I suspect this is simply a result of the discontinuation of the card no longer being issued, apparently that includes additional cardmembers as well.


I added my DH as an AU in March 2013 with no issues....  He uses his card daily, bought our McDs with it today! 

I'm going to be getting PRG next year, and I'll add my daughter as an AU in March 2015

I want her to have a card that she can use in emergency and not have to worry about CL. My NFCU would be good for this but its only 1 month old. This one should give her a nice bump. Plus it's a super über rare pretty card Smiley Wink

Duncanrr,

 

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe I am.  Amex stopped backdating additional card members last November (per a conversation I had with a rep), and your sister will receive a Card Member Since date of 2012.  I was added as an AU on a relative's account earlier this year, and they would not backdate.  However, when I got two cards of my own later this year, they did backdate those back to when I had an account in 2006; they would still not change the AU card - that remained as 2012.

Re: Zync - can't add authorized user

She will still get my AAoA bump if not full back dating, right?

Sorry I missed this.

 

I did not receive a bump in AAoA - it actually lowered mine because it reported as a new open account.
