Appreciate all your content! (blog, IG and podcast) For business card like AA CitiBusiness, can I add my spouse as AU without hurting her 5/24 number? I thought your content said Citi biz cards won’t hurt 5/24, nor an AU on a Citi biz card. Thanks in advance for all your advice and suggestions!
Yes, you can do that – it won’t hurt her. 5/24 but can be trickier for her to get approved for the card herself so we don’t do that.
