Effects on Primary CardHolder when adding AU

I'm thinking about adding my sister to my 18 month old Cap One QS card in a few days & I want to know what effect that would have on me applying for the Chase FU in April 2019. I'm currently 2/24 so will adding my sister as an AU put me at 3/24 when I go to apply? I know chase factors in AU accounts, but not sure how that would show on my CR reports. Info in Siggy is current. Thanks for any advice.

Adding your sister as an AU has absolutely no effect on you applying for other cards.

Go for it OP. There’s no backlash to adding an AU.

FYI. The only thing that could create a problem for you is if she maxed out your card causing your UT to increase.

My sister is really good at paying back whatever she charges to my card, so not really worried about that. The only thing I wonder is if i ever needed to will cap one let u send a spending limit to the AU card?
