Tradelines are lines of credit that you have and will show in your credit report. Being added as a user on a card will get the card added to your report. If that card has a high credit limit or has been open for long, then your credit report will look much stronger. Your credit score will go up as a result. You can buy tradelines from our site and many others.
What is a credit report
A credit report is a breakdown of your credit history compiled by a credit bureau. Credit bureaus collect financial information about you and create credit reports based on that information, and lenders use the reports along with other details to determine your creditworthiness.
In the United States there are three major credit reporting bureaus: Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion.
What is a credit score
A credit score is a single number that estimates your creditworthiness based on the information in the credit report. It usually ranges between 300 and 850. Some versions range from 300 to 900. The higher the score, the better the credit.

Interestingly it will also include “secondary tradelines” that are, in the context of this piece, that credit cards belonging to other people to which the person in the report has been added as an authorized user. If the credit lines are good enough (with high limits, or opened for a long time) will improve the credit score of the person added.
