Interesting. I hope nobody out there has the same name as our pets

Funny you mention that! The company I consulted for had the same issue and the software makers (third party) ended up having a "PET" flag in the database to prevent it from "linking".

The point was that you aren't off the hook from a bill collector just because they don't have your magic 9 digit number.

This seems hard to believe. A primary cardholder, then, could just list anybody's name and address w/o even the other person aware of being added as an "authorized" user.

I suppose the could, but could then get in trouble. I believe the terms say the authorized user needs to agree to have a card.

yes

And still the full responsibilty for the card goes to the primary card holder not the authorized user so if authorized user run up the card then primary user is responsible for paying that card not the authorized user. I dont see any benefit in adding the user without their consent.

Really? I've signed up for additional cards for my parents. I know I have full responsibility for the account, but they've never really "consented" to the account as they never game me their ssn.
