c m chase Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 I haven't heard either way about Target, but be careful with them anyway...they rarely report credit limits so your utilization always sucks. (Unless you charge it way up and then pay it waaaay down) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devil's Advocate Posted December 17, 2004 Report Share Posted December 17, 2004 Send the prospective companies an email and ask them. US Bank told me they don't because AUs are not responsible for paying, but Sears told me legally they have to report AUs. I added a friend to my Sears and just yesterday they started reporting to her EX. Hopefully it will be all 3 soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chara Posted December 18, 2004 Report Share Posted December 18, 2004 HiCitibank does, also. In fact, I gained my husband's 15 yr perfect history with them on my credit report by being added as an AU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J_Snow Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 Most will if you ask them and provide the SSN for the AU-Just adding an AU doesnt do it unless you give them the required information for them to report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CleanUp81 Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 I know for me AMEX reports me as an AU. But very true that if they don't have the information (SS#, Name etc..) they can't report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devil's Advocate Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 I know for me AMEX reports me as an AU. But very true that if they don't have the information (SS#, Name etc..) they can't report.A few years ago I tried to get on my father's AMEX and they told him they wouldn't do it. Makes me think you just have to find the right department or person to ask. I have a vested interest in raising my friends credit score. We bought a house together (as an investment) and I couldn't get grade A paper because, even though I had good credit, I didn't have the job history or documented income. She has the long job history and better income (she had to file medical BNKO 3 years ago). Once I get her credit score up we will refi with her name on the loan and bring our payments to about 1150/mo (down from 1800). Anyway anyone out there have luck getting US Bank to report AUs????? I'm thinking if I upgrade my card to a platinum they might do it. Thanks for giving me ideas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boogaloo Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 As of today, AMEX Blue started reporting my AU account to EXP and EQU - nothing on TU yet though. I've been an AU on the account for approx. 6 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
