Authorized Users - any usefullness in todays credit scoring climate?

I am going to wait to see over the next few months if AMEX reports to the other CRA's. They may have a weird reporting cycle that is different for each?

At this point I will just wait and see, since the difference in score between TU without the AU, and EQ with the AU is only 14 points I don't want to bother with having my father call AMEX.

Maybe TU isn't matching the AU to my credit file, that is also a possibility. Any thoughts?

If you are an AU, you are able to call AmEx yourself and ask them. Your dad doesn't have to be the one to make the call.
