Sears Card Authorized User Question

[victornewman]

Does anyone know if Citibank reports authorized users to the CRA's for their Sears store card?  I've searched online and it looks very hit or miss.  My Dad has offered to add me on to his Sears card to help with my AAOA. (35 year old account).   This would be a huge help for me as I've added several new accounts over the past 2 years.  I will be in the garden for all of 2016 which I know will help a lot as well.  Thanks in advance for your help.

If it asks for SSN then it will. If it doesn't, then its going to be a hit or miss.

Thanks for the reply.  He called and added me on to his account and he tried to give them my social security number but they said they didn't need it and that it would report.  Thing is, my last name and address are completely different than his.  And I have never lived with him at his current address.  So I guess if it ends up reporting, I will be lucky but I'm not expecting that it will.
