Raise your credit score before you borrow

If a low score is blocking a good rate, the file itself has to change before the rate does. Authorized-user tradelines add seasoned card history — over-830 FICO cardholders, perfect payment history, under 5% monthly usage — to your credit report for 60 days.

Tradelines add authorized-user history to a credit file.

You will be talking directly with the cardholder, without a middleman.

Tradelines compared with credit repair

Credit repair disputes items already on a file and can take months with an uncertain outcome. Tradelines add positive seasoned history on a known reporting schedule. They address different problems and are not substitutes for each other.

Sequence matters

If you are heading into a purchase, start the tradeline before you shop terms, not after. The card reports on its normal cycle, and the client stays on the cards for 60 days with renewal available indefinitely.

What counts as a good credit score

Lenders read a FICO score in bands. The band a file lands in decides whether a loan is approved and what rate is offered.
