I got a super-nice rep at the MR hotline. Told her I head there's a promo for 10K, and I want to add some family members. Added 5 family members to both my personal and business Gold cards. She asked for names and birthdates; never even asked for SSNs. It took a good 20-25 minutes for her to do all the "paperwork" because she had to do each card one-by-one (10 cards), and she said documented the record that I'm eligible for the 10K/card.
Though, she said the MR points should automatically post after activation of the cards. Is she mistaken on that point and do I need to make a purchase on each card?
She said they've been getting lots of calls about this promotion, and how nice it is that so many people are putting their family members on their credit cards to help their credit score

YMMV as always...

I have a business gold and was surprised to hear from the CS rep that I could add up to 10 AUs for free, and all would qualify for the 10,000 bonus 6-8 weeks after first purchase on each card. I could only give him 7 AUs, and he said I had up to 12/31 to add more. He was aware of the promotion and didn't have to look up anything. He just asked for the offer code at the beginning of the call and again at the end when notating my account.
I wonder how much discretion CS reps have since some have seen the points show up instantly.

Just called & was told Bus Gold can have up 99 FREE AUs (1st year free).
My case is --> MR folks 1st to add 5721 into my account & transfer me to CS to add AUs. SSN will be needed for my Peronal & Bus card cases.

I figured it came because said AU applied for a gold card of their own ~20 days prior to it arriving.
They do run some basic credit check based on name/dob. I had one AU declined who had no credit.
