Yup...my dad put me as an AU on his discover card...that was this past Sunday night. No SS# needed. Today it is showing up on my experian CR. Question....will it show up on TU and EQ as well ?

I guess it should but I put someone on a few of my cards and I see EX picked up all the cards while TU did not include Walmart on her report. Chase shows on both. EQ is another story.

that is funny, i had my brother as an AU and they did not come up on any reports. I had to put his SSN as well in order for it to show up. This was my citibank visa card.

I just added her to my DP. You need to put in the SS# on their website. Walmart just asked for a name. Well EX picked it up but TU did not. Chase did not ask for a SS# IIRC. Might be wrong on that.

This dog is an AU on an AmEx. AFNI just came after him for a Verizon bill:

My mother added me to her Wamu visa with no SS#. Card showed up on all 3 of my credit reports.

My two accounts are both showing on EX, neither are showing on TU or EQ. I called both companies tody to ask why.

They both said that it could be one of two things:

There has been no new activity on either card since I was added, and therefor nothing to report.

Also, both said that the CRAs can take up to 60 days to update, so I should call them and ask them why the accounts haven't hit my report yet.

I don't know if either are true, but both make sense to me. I'm just going to wait it out for now.
