[Anonymous]

I am trying to help my girlfriend get her credit started and was wondering if I added her as an AU to my citi account would it go on her credit report?

I added my children on mine and they did not ask their SSN I think ... at least you and your DGF have to have same mailing/billing address.   I haven't told my children that they are on mine, and has not pulled CR under their name yet.  So, I will find out it when they pull their CR.

Well, I couldn't pull my 20 yrs old child's CR through Credit Karma somehow.   Not sure it has to be 21 and over or not.

Anyway, I just added my friend online and it only asked Name.    I called Citi and first young female rep I spoke told me they don't report on AU.  Then I call back and spoke with older male rep, and he told me if I update the information they will report on AU.  So, I provided my friend's SSN.   We will find it out on next CR.

I added my wife as AU to my Plat. Select at application time. They did not ask for SS#. They report her to all 3 bureau's.

They do report AU on CRs. I am an AU on my mom's citibank card and it reports to all 3 CBs.
