So I guess AUs traveling without primary cardholder don't get this benefit ... or a checked bag. If anyone can tell me I'm wrong, I'll be pleased to be wrong. Thanks in advance.
The benefits do not extend to authorized users, although I have heard of AUs showing the card and not getting charged for a checked bag, but that was awhile back. The person I am referring to is now a primary cardholder, so I there is no longer that reference point
