How It Works
The Strategy:
Become an "authorized user" on an already existing and established credit card account (aka tradeline) with a solid payment history. You don't do this to use the credit card. Instead, the idea is to "inherit" the account's payment history into your credit file.
How It Works:
1.
Search the Inventory
Choose from dozens of established credit cards from Chase, Discover, Barclays, etc, all verified by the owners' Credit Sesame accounts.
2.
Buy a Tradeline
Verify your identity (Photo ID and SSN) and submit payment 100% online.
3.
Owner Adds You As a User
Tradeline Supply Co guarantees the new tradeline history will post to your credit report during the next reporting period.
What We Like:
“I purchased a tradeline because I had a very new credit history – about 4 months. It hit my account in less than 20 days and boosted my score over 100 points. I was LITERALLY ASTONISHED. Thanks guys! Highly recommend!” Joel Adrian Harris

* All score improvements are estimates and will vary by individual. We recently ran a nationwide survey on professional credit repair. 48% of respondents who stuck with their credit repair company for at least 6 months saw a 100+ point credit score increase. See study.
** Our official stance is not to buy a tradeline as a credit improvement tool. But we can say our experience with tradelines. Mark added authorized user tradelines to his credit as part of his well-documented Journey to a 700 credit score. He attributes 50-100 points to the authorized user strategy. Chris started out with a much higher credit score, but got added to a long established Southwest Airlines card and saw his score boost 30 points. Lastly, we ran a nationwide study on the effect of being added as an authorized user to card and found good statistical proof that it makes a positive impact on credit score.
