Is there a minimum age to become an authorized user? Not really looking to start credit, just convenience for me.

I tried to add my little girl as an AU on my Amex account but was told the min age is 15 years old. She is only 11. I am not sure if all banks have the same rule.
Thanks.

+1. I'm pretty sure I was 15 when I was added as an AU.

I'm curious. Do the CCs report for a minor?
I'm honestly not sure. I asked to be removed when I was 18, so I never had a chance to look. Maybe someone else would knew about this?

Would also like to know
Also very curious. If that's the case then, I'll put my little brother down right now as an AU for AMEX and give him a headstart. He's 15. Another thing, when you open an AU account does the AU have to use the card or would I be able to SD the card and let him get some history without having to swipe lol?
