Authorized User Activity

[Anonymous]

Hi,

Hoping for feedback.  I have received many different answers on this topic from Citi directly as well as calling Transunion, wondering if anyone has any real experience.  I have heard it's different rules if the name is the same, address is the same, but not sure what the answer is.

Regarding Authorized User Reporting:  I recently was added to a family member's card as an AU, approximatley 10/15.   It did require last four of SS# upon signing up.  As of today it is not showing up at any of the major bureaus.  Is it too soon, does it take more than 6 weeks, possily a few cycles?  or may it not show up at all?

Any insight would be helpful.   the card is Citicard Costo Card.

Patience...

I'd let the card you were added to report another month before worrying. Eventually the CB's should show the addition. My wife enabled me as a CU when she applied for her Citi Costco card and it eventually showed on my reports after her first statement cut. If you were added mid cycle it may take bit longer.
