Recently I PC'd an older standard US Bank Platinum card to the Cash+ card, and today I added both of my parents as authorized users on the card. When I asked if they reported AU's to the credit bureaus, the CSR said explicitly that they do no report AU's and that they only report 'co-applicants' (read: joint account holders). I triple checked if she was sure that they don't report, or just not able to verify that they do; she said she was sure that they don't report. I added my parents anyways as AU's in the chance that they do, and when I added them she asked if I would like to add their SSN's to the accounts as well. I did. I've read some threads where people with AU's on US Bank Platinum confirm that their AU's are getting reported, but I haven't been able to find one way or another on this specific card (not sure if it is card specific).
Does anyone with this specific card have an AU on the card and can confirm whether the AU is reported to the CRA?
I'm an AU on my wife's account and it is listed on my report(s) as "A" - authorized.
Which card in particular, Platinum or Cash+?

I see my Cash+ on my AU's report from May 2013.

Great! I just added my sister today to help her rebuild her credit, and gave them her ssn. Hopefully they report at the end of the month!
