AU - you can use the card but won't get credit for it, so if the primary screws up you won't take a score hit (this comes into force next year). I have my daughter as an AU so she can use the card in emergencies, and I can easily "transfer" money to her by letting her use it. May people who have a lot of AU cards but none of their own will suffer when AU status no longer affects score. They will need to start building their own history
Joint - it is your card, it affects your score, good and bad. Nearly everything my wife and I have is joint, so we are both establishing better credit every year. If the co-joint screws up - you take the blame

The slide from grace is really more like gliding
And I've found the trick is not to stop the sliding
But to find a graceful way of staying slid
