My wife is an AU on my USAA card and they report to all 3 CRA.
A USAA CSR once volunteered that I could add my younger daughter to my card. I asked if it would show on her reports, and the CSR said that I could choose to have it report or not report.
If correct, that's a wonderful option.
anyone know if you can do this online?
thanks jon. i have searched every menu on the site & i can't find anything about authorized users. maybe i'm not eligible for one or something weird.

Hey Laz!
Login to your USAA account >> Click on your credit card >> Go to the menu on the right side of your screen and click on "I want to" >> Select the green arrow at the bottom of that list for "more services" >> Under "Card Services" select "Request Additional Card for Someone Else".
HTH!
i was able to find the "request an additional card" feature, but none of the relationships applied, so it wouldn't let me add her, even though she is a usaa member herself.
"request an additional card" makes it sound like you just want an authorized buyer card, like a store card would give you. strange. to me AU & "AB" are different.
AU means your just giving someone else permission to use your credit/charge card without being financially responsible for it; and I have never heard of an AB before on any card all cards I have (including store cards) all have an AU option though. The best way to know if a card com. is going to report the AU is if they ask for the ss# of the AU if it asks for it 9 out of 10 times it will report the AU
