<prompt> Human: Im trying to reach out for my first credit card. Never wanted one until now. Discovered on my credit report parents have me as an authorized user on an Amex card with a 10k limit for about 4 years now.The card is rarely used and had no outstanding balance or late payments.So I have a few questions. 1. Will currently being an authorized user on a said Amex line have have a negative effect when trying to get my own credit lines?2. Will removing myself as an authorized user hurt memy score in reaching out for my own credit lines. Whats the best course of action?Edit: Well that answers that. Thanks so much!  <response>: Keep the card. Its helping your score by a lot probably. A lot of parents do this so their kids have credit at 18. You can still get your own card but dont close the old one.
