I am a AU on my mothers and it reports.
Starting Score: 744
I'm an AU on 2 BOA accounts, and they both report. One account had a baddie and I had my DH take me off as an AU, and it was removed completely.

Have any of you had success with an AU being placed on a BofA credit card?
11 years ago my first tradeline (with no credit history whatsoever) was an AU on a Bank of America credit card. The card was opened specifically for my own personal use by a friend. A few years later Bank of America allowed me to convert my status to become a "coapplicant" with my friend so that we were both equally (jointly) responsible for the account. Once my credit scores were in the mid 700s (with three more credit cards of my own), we requested that Bank of America remove my friend from all responsibility for the account. Bank of America approved that request and that original account became an individual account owned by me alone. To this day it is my oldest account. I often reflect about what a great friend I had, who helped me so much.
This quick start on the road to an 800 FICO score was no accident. It was well planed and all of the steps that were taken where confirmed as allowable before the card was applied for.
Hopefully Bank of America is still one of the few banks who provide the option to go from "AU" to "Joint" then "Individual" on a credit card. Imagine how that could help the son or daughter of a BofA account holder

Needless to say I strongly encourage you to take advantage of the oportunity to be added as an AU on a BofA credit card. Now if the person who is adding you to the account doesn't really need the credit card anymore in a few years.... Maybe, just maybe...
