I think you can. I've done it recently, one of mine didn't qualify and I was able to add another one instead.Players4you said:If you add an account that subsequently doesnt qualify as active can you add another to replace it or does the non qualifying count as one of your 10?0 -

Anyone having trouble reconnecting Amex?
I go through Amex’s log on but when I’m redirected back to Yougov, I face an error.
I do have 3 days before it drops off so wonder if that’s linked?0 -
