I know this is an older thread, but don't see a newer one so thought I might try and get an answer here....

I typically get billed the CSR annual fee in October, but want to add my spouse as an AU shortly. Can anyone confirm recent experience is the same as above, where the AU fee is not charged mid-year, but only at the same time as the main $550 fee? Sounds like above, it's a separate line item (ie, as separate $550 and $75 line items, as opposed to a $625 line item)? And if above is still correct, can anyone confirm whether they will add a pro-rated fee for the time the AU card is issued until the full year fee is charged?
