Me too. Was done in under 2 minutes yesterday. Still waiting for the points to drop in.
 
I tried to add an existing supplementary card holder a second time - like an account card for the primary card holder - and was told that this wasn't possible. Does anyone know if this can be done?
 
I made the call to Amex this morning....thanks for the heads up on this deal...
 
can anyone confirm the max numebr of supp cards is 4 or 5?

I have 4 on one account, and applied for a supp card,
I also have 1 on another

got the 2x5000 bonus points pretty quickly, however only 1 supp card arrived by mail today,

im thinking i got the bonus points but the system has stopped a 5th supp card going out
 
Are the bonus points documented anywhere? Have been severely burnt by Amex recently!

Nope, but I rang to confirm some things about bonus points for spend and the operator then offered the additional supplementary bonus points. I kept his name and call regference number if there were any queries. But both bonus points have posted, so no need to use it.

I always keep the name of the person I speak to and get a reference number for everything - never know when you'll need to quote a phone call that was recorded!
 
i'm pretty sure max is 4 and you will need to pay a fee on the 5th card, called amex 3 times to confirm this..

How many Supplementary Cards can I have?

You can have up to four Supplementary Cards connected to your basic Card Account.


This is why I always ask people as well for their expericnes as often Google can either be wrong or not the same in reality.

They gave me 7 supp cards on my explorer account. But only one bonus as I expected and they informed me.

They said the number of supp cards is at their discretion.

Well enough cards for me now

Of course not. Just put another name down.

Seems there is no consistency in what they ask for. All I gave was a name and DOB. Had the card sent to my address and away we went.

I have done this twice now (different campaigns), and they havent asked for a DL, I dunno what to do if they did, the dog doesnt know his DL number either.
 
Added two last Friday, haven't seen the cards yet, but points posted today.

10K points for very little effort is great.
 
They called and want ID - medicare, passport, drivers licence numbers. Ergh. My cousin is away for a while so that won't help. Anyone else get over that predicament in a timely manner? The previous supps were straightforward!

I have been getting Supps for over a decade.

Mainly they do not check. But every now and then do a random audit check to make sure the person is real.
 
Applied for 2 cards friday night. They only asked for name and dob of supplementary card holder.

But received a call today asking for a d/l or passport number to do an electronic verification of the supp holder.

Not sure if its sampling but be wary of using the dog/cat name.
