However, do you really want to give your SSN to someone on "the Internet"? (the primary is required to provide this to Amex)

I'd imagine the going rate would be to pay for the primary and supplemental fee. Whether that's worth it or not for the supplemental is a different story...but id say for most Cents, it just wouldnt be worth considering any other way given the hassle.

any person who would be out of their mind to give a CC card, cent or not, to a complete stranger.
Remember that the primary would be responsible for any diligent charges even it is just 1000. never mind their credit history.
would any CENT (and they got to that level for a reason) give a complete stranger money (because that is what they would be doing as there is no garrenty the sup holder will pay the bill when it comes due) without due diligence???
and what benefit would the primary card holder get???

Risk vs. Reward just doesn't add up here. I also highly doubt the majority(not all, some just funneled business expenses) of Cent holders are in dire need of some one to pay their fee. There is more risk than just to your credit. If someone wants the card that badly, just do what it takes to acquire it.
