Amex Gold - Car Rental benefits - Piggyback to additional member
I recently added my girlfriend as an additional member to my Amex Gold account. We received her card in the mail (has a different number than my card) and were planning a trip in the near future.
If I book a rental car under my name and pay with my card, will the rental insurance benefit apply to her?
If I book a rental car under her name, but pay with my card, will the rental insurance benefit apply to her?
Or....is that in order for her to receive the benefit, she needs to pay with her card and only her card?

Welcome to Flyertalk.
The terms of the benefit are here:

As I read it, either one of you can rent the car and pay with your own card. The other person needs to be listed on the rental agreement as an Authorized Driver (there may be a fee for this). Then, the coverage applies if either of you are driving.
