Amex Now Requires SSN to Add Authorized Users
American Express now requires you to enter a Social Security Number (SSN) or International Tax Identification Number (ITIN) right away in order to add an Additional Card Member to your account.
Previously you had up to 60 days from the date the Card is issued to provide Social Security Number (SSN) or International Tax Identification Number (ITIN) for an authorized user. If you did not provide their Social Security Number within 60 days, the Additional Card Member’s Card will be canceled. But you could still use the card during those 60 days.
