<prompt> Human: Hey guys, my dad got approved for the Chase Sapphire Preferred and added me as an authorized user. I am getting married this December, so getting the point bonus was huge for me. A couple of things though; I must use my dads card for purchases to count towards the points bonus. I am totally fine with that, as I am able to pay off the balance alone. However, after I get the bonus, would using my card on the account, as an authorized user, help my credit? After the points are given, my dads card is going to be put away, and Ill only use mine, but I want to make sure itll help my credit score.  <response>: Technically your dad will get the bonus. He can choose to spend it for you though if hes gifting you the points indirectly. Also your card spend will also count towards minimum spending.
