F.A.Q About Authorized User Tradelines

Authorized user tradelines are credit card revolving accounts onto which an individual is added as an authorized user. "Tradelines" are the accounts listed in a credit report, such as mortgages, auto loans, credit cards, etc. An "authorized user" is a person who is given access to the account as a user but who is not responsible for the balance.

Please remember that we don't guarantee any specific credit boost. The results are individual in each case and depend on various factors, most of which are not under our control.

However, we have a firm refund policy that guarantees that you're working with a serious, experienced, reliable tradeline supplier.

Our guarantees:

1. Posting to 2 credit bureaus minimum

We guarantee that any tradeline purchased from us will post to at least two out of three major credit bureaus (Experian, Equifax, Transunion)

2. "60-day minimum" guarantee

We also guarantee to keep any authorized user added for 60 days minimum starting from the "posting date" you see on your confirmed and paid order.

3. Tradeline quality guarantee

We guarantee all our tradelines have spotless payment history and a utilization rate below 10%.

While there is no guarantee that 100% of tradelines you're purchasing post to all three bureaus, however, based on our experience, there are specific lenders that generally post to all three, which are:

Discover, US Bank, Navy Federal, Elan

We advise you to choose from these lenders if your goal is to increase the chances of getting tradelines posted to all three credit bureaus.

Remember that the above recommendation is more likely to be helpful only if the personal information (first name, last name, postal address, etc.) is identical across all three credit bureaus. Please make sure this info is congruent across these credit bureaus before buying our tradelines.

No, we don’t accept any alternate SSN, CPN, or anything else except real valid SSN. We verify all documentation submitted by our clients using third-party databases to protect our tradeline providers. if we find grounds for suspicion of intentionally providing invalid information, we will not process the order and we will not give a refund. More info about why we don’t work with CPN is posted in our blog.

The boost is different for everyone. It all depends on what is currently in your credit report and what you choose to purchase from us. Basically,

• The more credit cards we add to your credit report, the bigger the potential boost will be
• The fewer the number of credit cards that you currently have in your credit report showing as open, the bigger the potential boost will be
• The higher the limit, and the longer the history for the card(s) you choose to be an authorized user on, the bigger the potential boost will be.

Remember, if your credit is in a bad position due to recent delinquencies, failures to pay, consistent late payments, etc., purchasing authorized user tradelines will have little or no impact on your credit score or your ability to utilize authorized tradelines to their full potential.

Our pricing on tradelines ranges from $200 to around $1,000 depending on two main variables:

• The age of the tradeline
• The credit limit of the tradeline

The higher the card limit and older the tradeline is, the higher the price (and vice versa). There are cases where a tradeline may have an old age but a very low limit, or a tradeline with a high limit but very low age (and everything in between) resulting in an average price.

You should always understand what you are purchasing to ensure the best outcome. If you're in doubt regarding what will work best for you, please contact us for assistance.

Typically tradelines report 10 - 15 days AFTER the statement date assuming you placed your order at least 5 DAYS BEFORE the statement date.

To clarify, orders and payments must be made AT LEAST 5 days before the statement date for your tradeline to post that month. Each tradeline has a different statement date. If you have a question about your order, please contact support@gfsgroup.org and we will gladly help.

We guarantee our tradeline(s) will stay on your report for a minimum of two posting cycles from the statement date, which is at least 60 days. Certain tradelines like Discover, US Bank, Navy Federal, Elan, can remain on for up to 90 days. Once your lease term comes to end, you will receive a respective notification with an option to extend the lease if needed or desired.

Note that after your lease has expired, the account will remain on your credit report but the status of the account will change to a "terminated authorized user status". It's great that the account remains on your file indefinitely thus making your credit report more solid.

The most impact you will get out of the tradeline will be while you are in an active status on the tradeline. Your score may or may not dip slightly when your lease has expired. What we have seen historically is a dip when the authorized user is removed, but not as low as it was before the tradeline was added. Every file is different. Don’t delay. Plan your purchase accordingly and act as soon as your tradeline(s) have been posted to your credit file.

Sometimes, for a variety of reasons, the Tradeline Order does not report on the first billing statement following the date of the agreement. In such cases, the Client understands that the Tradeline Order will report on the next (second) billing cycle following the date of this agreement. If the Tradeline Order does not report on the second billing cycle, GFSGroup agrees to provide a replacement tradeline of greater or equal quality at no additional cost to the Client. If the replacement line does not report for whatever reason, then a store credit will be issued if the client does not desire an additional replacement line.

Some lines do not post automatically so we need to merge the tradeline address onto your credit report and by doing this it will make the tradeline report to your credit file. It is the only way to get most tradelines to post. Do not be alarmed, this is just an address merge to your credit file. If you do not want this, there are only a few options of tradelines you can pick from that do not require a hard or soft pull. Please email us so we can guide you through it.

We do not work with CPNs or EINS. All of our clients' information is subject to verification via a third-party background check, social security check and identity verification. You or your client need to warrant that the individual to whom the Social Security number provided to us was issued to by the Social Security Administration.

We do require that all our clients declare and affirm under the penalty of perjury that the Social Security number and other information contained in their application with us is true and correct, is not a CPN, EIN or any other number other than a Social Security number issued to the Client by the Social Security Administration.

Our clients acknowledge that if they make any representation contrary to this that is false, they could be found guilty of criminal charges, fined or jailed. You will forfeit your right of refund if you attempt to defraud GFS Group and submit anything in lieu of your personal Social Security Number.

Hope these tips help for those of you wanting to buy tradelines. For example, should you get 5 cheaper tradelines or one powerful old one? Should you get an aged tradeline with a low credit limit, versus a high credit age with a high credit limit? Or should you select the cheapest tradeline? Should you select from the same cardholder?

Here are 5 tips for selecting the best tradelines:

Tip #1. Higher credit limits and older aged tradelines correlate with bigger credit score increases.

Tip #2. You should have at least 3 OPEN & POSITIVE tradelines (AKA accounts) on your credit report to qualify for most loans.

Tip #3. Within your credit monitoring site, go to the "credit factors" section. It will tell you exactly what you need as far as tradelines go. Are your accounts of low age? Then you need an aged tradeline at least 10+ years old. [The older the tradeline, the bigger your credit score increases.] Is your debt over 30% utilization? Then you need a high credit limit card to help balance decrease your utilization.

Did you apply recently for many loans and got denied? If so, you need to go through the inquiry removal process first.

Tip #4. Purchasing a tradeline while you have negative items on your credit is like putting perfume on a pig. If you have any negative items like delinquencies, charge-offs, or multiple recent late payments, you should go through a credit sweep to as many of these items as possible. Doing so will provide you with a nice and clean canvas for adding tradelines to your credit report.

Tip #5. Sometimes it is recommended to select tradelines with the same Group ID (2nd column from the right called “Group ID” on our Tradelines page) when making your purchases. Just click on the up or down arrows on the “Group ID” header to sort by the number. Each time you (or your client) is added to a tradeline, a new address gets imprinted to the back end of their credit report. That is okay, but you want to make sure that your client is not getting too many tradelines with many different cardholders as this may show as instability on their part. Stick with one or two cardholders (Group IDs) in a format where it looks like your client’s credit has improved over time.

To place an order, we need a copy of your driver’s license and a copy of your social security card.

These items are necessary for identity verification, fraud prevention, and because occasionally the card issuing banks will ask for these documents to add an authorized user to an account.

Also, please make sure to upload a payment confirmation to your order or email it to support@gfsgroup.org once your payment is complete. This will allow you to be added to the card as quickly as possible, preventing any potential problems and ensuring optimal performance.

Zelle, Chase QuickPay, CashApp or direct bank deposit.

• We will send you over the detailed payment instructions once you place your order.
• We DO NOT accept credit cards or PAYPAL.

It is a violation of Paypal’s user agreement for any credit related company to use their platform for their services.

Sure! You can choose as many tradelines as you want from our inventory. You will see the total price in the last step of placing an order, as well as in the email and text you will receive after you complete your order.

Yes, you can. We will send you an email 3 days prior to your booking expiration to kindly remind you about extending your booking if you need or require it for a longer period of time. If you know you’ll need an extension before we reach out, please contact us at support@gfsgroup.org

A cardholder is a person owning a tradeline. They are the primary account holder of the credit card and will be the one adding you to the card as an authorized user and eventually removing you from it once your purchase has expired.

Sure! Just reach out to support@gfsgroup.org. After becoming a cardholder, you can start registering your cards with us. Once approved, they will show up in our inventory and if someone orders your card you will benefit by receiving a commission for the order.
