Authorized user question.

My cousin has added me to their CC and for some reason it wont report to equifax.I've called and asked EQ what the problem is and why is it not reporting. They say it takes up to 90 days. It's been over 90 days and i went online to see if it can be added faster. Some websites say it can be added in under 30 days but only if you pay an extra charge. That tells me there is a way for it to get done. Anyone knows what the process is for CC to be reported faster?

It can also depend on what card you are AU on some don't report AU's

Before you app think...
Have you done your research of the CC?
Does it fit your spending?
Do you have a plan for the bonus w/o going into debt?
Can you afford the AF?
Do you know the cards benefits? Is it worth the HP?

The problem maybe the CRAs cannot match the cc information with you. Do you and your cousin have the same last name? Share the same address! Did Chase ask for your SSN?
