Discover authorized user

Anonymous — Sat, 31 Mar 2012 22:04:39 GMT

Im an authorized user on my boyfriends card and it's been a month and still not reporting on my credit. How long does it typically take to start reporting? I called discover and they said they will manually send the info to the credit bureaus. Has anyone had luck with discover and reporting authorized users? We live at different addresses.

My father had added me many moons ago to his card dating back to 98 I think... and it took about 2 months I think. It has been sometime. It did wonders for my scores at the time so certainly worth the wait!

They're difficult reporting initially for primary's CR so i'd imagine it be the same (over a month) for an AU.
