[Chase] Do Chase report additional users to the credit bureaus?

Hello,

 

I'm thinking about adding my younger brother as an additional user to my Chase Freedom card so his credit will age by the time he does apply for one. I've done it with Amex, and they asks for his SSN so I think they report to his credit reports (although I haven't checked).

 

I noticed when I went to add additional users on Chase, it only asks me for his name and address, not SSN. So I'm wondering if it even reports to the credit bureaus.

 

Thank you.

This is frequently asked so don't overlook prior discussions

but, yes, Chase does report for AU's and whether or not an SSN is requested is not necessarily an indicator of whether or not a TL will report for AU's.

Yup. A lot less creditors used to do it but when people started taking advantage of authorized user selling spots for profit, crackdown. its for identity purposes.

I myself am not a fan If wanted to play God and help someone's credit in my family without them knowing it's harder to do, and chase always gives you an extra hook up when you add users. I always use that!
