No credit card required
Browse credit cards from a variety of issuers to see if there's a better card for you.
When someone is adding you as an AU from a diff address they can put their address. The card goes to them, and their address is added to your CR.
I particularly like Amex's AU management. Since the AU gets a different card number, the member can control/limit monthly spending and set notification levels for interim spending. This is a great feature for someone helping an AU establish credit while minimizing risk.

Well, most of that seemed to happen (added me as AU, put their address, card goes to them) but the account has not shown up on my CRs.

it can take up to 2mths or so sometimes for an AU to start reporting.

Thank you! I was wondering if it was possible to control and put spending limits on the card thanks for that info bro.
thats one of the cool things about AMEX charge cards and adding AU's
I've heard people adding themselves as an AU and setting a hard limit on it so that it will actually report another card with a high limit. (b/c charge cards do not report a limit)*

Thanks j_casteel.
As with most posters around these parts, (I assume) we all lack a bit of patience in these matters.
Isn't sometimes a good thing NOT to have it report ? Say if my friend adds me to use whenever needed but his not 100% making ontime payments ?
That could be a good thing.

Why would you want a TL and not have it reporting? Unless, the premise is to just have money and not get "credit" for it.
My wife is a AU on her mom VISA BOA 123 and she's not always paying her pills ontime forgets sometimes, that's why I was saying maybe sometimes it's good not to report as I'm worried if AU FICO/CR will be damaged.
