>>Important information about participant credit reporting
If you're a participant, you can spend on the account but you're not responsible for payments. The account owner and co-owner are responsible for all purchases made by participants.
Credit reporting can assist people with no or limited credit history by establishing or expanding their credit file. Generally, accounts that have been established for a while, shown consistent on-time payments, and maintain low balances (e.g. below 30% of the total credit limit) may result in a more positive credit impact.
Participants will be reported to the credit bureaus as authorized users on the owner’s account, which is a signal that they are able to spend on the account, but are not responsible for payments. Being a participant on an account that has a negative payment history (e.g. the account goes past due) or is over utilized can have negative effects on your credit.
