Company using SSN without Permission for Credit Card

[MkyMous]

Oklahoma-Texas,
My company has a new directive that anyone that travels for the company must use a Corporate Credit Card. The card will be under my name and sent to my home. I send in Electronic Expense Report and company will pay the bill.
My problem is that in order to get this card, my SSN was sent to AMEX. I did not knowingly give the company permission to do this.

Is this legal?

AMEX needs your SSN if the credit card is to be issued in your name and this sounds like a condition of employment.

Agree. I've had these AMEX corporate cards before and that's exactly what AMEX requires.
