If I add users with their social security numbers, will the cardholders that I add have any tax / income implications? I can probably talk a few people into letting me add them but I don't want them to have any issues with it. Will their credit score get a hit from this?
Soon the persons whose SSN you used, would receive solicitation of credit cards from AMEX. Never failed each time I added my brother as an AU for AU bonus, that also applies to Chase.
One of the main goals for the issuers is to collect data for potential applicants. So beware.

I try to churn as much as I can but I haven't got the knowhow for it yet.My credit score is 800+ too but I don't get many invitations for cards with good bonuses for spending.
I am in the camp of 5K AU bonus is too small to be bothered.
Nobody knows how the invitations are generated. However it is very common for Aspire card ($459) upgrade offer on the HH no fee card. Not so common on the Ascend card ($95)
Check your AMEX online account - the Aspire upgrade often is showing in the AMEX offers. I have seen an Ascend upgrade in my AMEX offer. My husband has received an email a few months ago for the Ascend upgrade. We did not take such.
The Aspire upgrade offers once again show up in our AMEX offers, for the N times.
There is an AMEX site to check for the HH Ascend Upgrade offer - i.e. input your AMEX log in and the site would either show the upgrade offer or tell you there is a system error (you are not eligible). You may want to do some googling to see if you can find it.
