Guru’s Wrap-up
A decent offer for adding a new user to your account. We often see similar offers for other cards as well. Usually best offers are found for Platinum and Gold cards. The only issue here is that you need to add Authorized Users and that would show up as another credit card on that person’s credit report. That would be a problem for those trying to stay under 5/24.
