Other than using an excellent score to gain access to better cards and rewards, or reward structures, save money by getting better interest rates and offers, or using your credit, or leveraging your buying power to create wealth through property investments and things of that nature, no.

Where'd you source that score?

Is it Fico or Vantage, and which version?

Are the AU's under 1 account owner or across mutiple people? 

Are the AU's store or bank cards?

 

Forum members can advise if any of this is incorrect:

I think 730 is more likely within the Good category. If all AU's are bank cards thru the same person, then your score might increase with 3 cards at $0 balance and only 1 card at or under 8.9% of the credit limit. 

 

An excellent score can help you SAVE money but the only way I can think to actually earn money is by using it for purchasing a substantial asset at an optimal interest rate and then sell to someone else for more than you all-in paid for it. Something like a house, car or boat.. or finance an investment property at a low interest rate to become a landlord with rents higher than the mortgage payments.

Not without a lot of risk.  Don't quit your dayjob and keep up your credit -- It will save you more than it will earn you in the long run.

I suspect they have something in mind.  If I'm right yes it's shady, something we don't talk about here, and has unpleasant consequences if caught.

730 isn't really "excellent" credit, at least not enough to get the kind of limits with the kind of cards to start gambling on a thing that is likely to get shut down quickly and bite you in the wallet.

If the particular thing worked as well as the people charging money to teach you how to do worked as well as they claim, they wouldn't be telling anyone about it, because they would be getting rich off of it, instead of selling programs on how to do it.

Re: Is there a way to make money off of my excellent credit score?

How about getting your own 3 cards. And build your file. Get some cash back for your purchases as the primary card holder. Theres your money. You dont get it right now. The primary does. Your just the AU. Its clear what you were asking about. Its a no no on here.
