    Just a word of warning on if you are associated to someone on your credit file who has irked Amex ever before. I did an IVA ten years ago so I knew i'd be on their life long blacklist. When my wife applied for an Amex they declined her, citing my association with her (we have a joint mortgage which links us on CRAs).
    Never argue with an idiot. Especially not this idiot because I'm always right anyway.
  • Thank you :)
  • The additional cardholder won't be checked, since you're the one responsible for making payments.

    Also, having your partner as an additional cardholder won't create by itself a financial association between the two of you.
