Additional Card for a UK citizen on my US account.
I was wondering if anyone knew if it were possible for me to add my fiance who is from the UK as an additional card holder to my AMEX Platinum US account? I went to the additional cards form on the AMEX website and it requires I put a Social Security Number of the individual I want to add, but since UK citizens have NINOs instead of SSNs is it possible to maybe do it over the phone? Has anyone ever had a similar issue?

When I originally added a supplementary card for my husband several years ago (Danish citizen) on my U.S.-based AmEx, it was done without any SSN. Last year, my account had to be closed and re-issued due to a security breach, and they insisted on an SSN for his card. I gave the tax ID number that I had established for him for filing my taxes (not SSN) and they took it.
