Does Citi report Authorized User to CRAs?

I just added my wife as an authorized user on my Citi Thank You card. I've seen some old posts say that the account will show on her CRs. The website did not ask for anything other than her name (we have different last names) so I wonder if this is the case.

Usually her name and address would be all they needed to report.

@ aj1901, do you recall when and if your fiancé only had to add your name and not any other information? I just want to to make sure nothing has changed.

I was added to my GF's Discover and Chase card.  They only wanted name and address.  I always wondered how it got reported on my credit file, but it did.  It did take 3-4 months for both of them to start reporting however.

 

I also got an alert saying there's been a change of address on my file.  Somehow either Discover or Chase got her old address on my report.....LOL.....   Not that addresses really matter.
