Can I add authorized users to my American Express card?

Asked 2 years ago
Yes, it is possible to add authorized users to an American Express card. When a primary cardholder adds an authorized user, that individual receives their own card linked to the primary account, allowing them to make purchases using the credit line available on the account. This can be beneficial for those who want to share the benefits of credit and rewards with family members or trusted friends. The primary cardholder is responsible for all charges made by authorized users, and it is important to consider the financial implications of adding someone to the account. Additionally, the activity of authorized users may be reported to credit bureaus, which can impact their credit histories. To find specific details or requirements regarding the process of adding authorized users, individuals should refer to the American Express website. There, one can find the most current information and guidelines on this feature.
