Possible to get a supplementary card as non citizen?

[dani28]

Is it possible to be added as a secondary/supplementary/authorized user on an Argentine person's bank account/debit card/credit card, without having any type of Argentinean citizenship or documentation?

I know that in the US or Europe, for me to add an authorized user to my credit card and get them a card UNDER my account, they ask for a very minimal amount of info and citizenship is not necessarily required, because at the end of the day, the person responsible for the account is me.

I need to get an Argentine AMEX for business purposes but am not an Argentine citizen. A friend who has Santander has offered to let me use his good standing with the bank to get me a Santander issued AMEX card, if it is possible.

Anyone have any experience here in this matter?

Have you thought of asking the bank or American Express?

Yes, you can get an extension of your friend's credit card w/o being an Argentine citizen. Your friend is generous to offer as he will be responsible for you.

Yes, I can personally vouch that Sergio is right.
