Log into your Amex account, at the top nav bar click Account Services > Order a Replacement Card for Damaged, Lost, or Stolen Cards > Damaged Card (Your damaged Card will be reissued with the same Card number and you can continue using your existing Card until the replacement arrives.) > Enter the 3-digit CSC > Answer your security question > Confirm Shipping.
ETA: Pretty sure Amex disables the old card shortly after you confirm receipt of the replacement card, so your plan may not work. If you add DH as an AU on the Ascend, it will show up as a new account on his credit report. One thing you could do is add your Ascend to DH's phone's mobile wallet (Apple Pay, Samsung Pay, Google Pay) and he could use that where it's accepted, but mobile wallet adoption is still limited.
Thanks for reminding me! I needed to order a replacement for my SPG Lux before all our beautiful Starwood Purple cards get converted over to Barfworthy Bonvoy. I don't care if the Bonvoy Barfiful will be metal; it's UGLY.
The replacement BCE hubby ordered last year is still working for me. Not sure if they made any changes lately for new replacements, but I just used it earlier this week and he's been using the original routinely. I know they told me when I got my replacement employee card that the original would be deactivated, but unfortunately it's still lost in the house so I haven't been able to test that. (my house eats cards... and socks. i'm afraid if I make it too smart it'll just order new socks with the cards it steals.)
