Ally Cashback CC - Not showing in open accounts

[Anonymous]

HI everyone, 

I've noticed that my Ally Cashback credit card does not show up in most of my credit reports as an open account. I have a fairly large credit line with them, so it would be great so that it could increase my total credit available.

Has anyone else had this problem? If so is there any good way to fix this?

Thanks!

How long ago was the account opened?

This is a valid and important question. If your account was just opened, it might take a while for Ally to report to any major credit reporting companies. 

It usually take couple weeks to 1-2 months for accounts to show up. Sometimes it can take up to 3-6 months. There are also in rare cases where they just simply dont report at all and become like a "hidden tradeline" which most people like.

Thanks for the replies!

I opened the account back in June or July 2016, so I would think it would be updated by now. Wouldn't it be better to have it show up on my credit reports since it is a larger amount of credit available?

Is there a way to add the account somehow? Thanks for any advice!
