"Add someone to card", good way to build credit?

[seiyafan]

I want to add my wife as an additional card member to my AMEX Blue cash everyday, would this help build her credit history? What I mean is that does AMEX report credit history and credit line for additional card members to the credit bureaus? Thank you!

As long as your Amex card is clean and healthy, YES!  it will help your DW to build her credit history.  You have to provide your DW's SSN.

Amex will give a different card number for each AU and you can see the account activities under their name on your online acct.

They will report everything include your payment histories too.

Just type Amex AU in the search box ... for more threads/info

Being an AU on someone's card is a great way to rebuild granted the card has a good history.
