What Is A Tradeline?

Here at Splendid Credit, you'll see the word tradeline a lot on our website, so we wanted to go into a little bit more detail about what tradelines are, how they work, and how buying or selling them can benefit you.

What is a Tradeline?

A credit report tradeline is simply an industry term to describe a credit account. If you have credit accounts, you have tradelines. Tradelines come in the form of credit cards, lines of credit, car loans, mortgages, and payday advances. Here at Splendid Credit we focus solely on credit card tradelines.

How Does a Tradeline Work?

Authorized user tradelines are revolving lines of credit (credit cards) on which someone with excellent credit places an individual as an authorized user on their account. If posting is successful, the account then appears on the buyer’s credit report boosting their FICO score or increasing their available credit.

What is an Authorized User?

An authorized user is a person who is listed on a credit account that they do not own. Being an authorized user on a credit account can help a person boost their credit score or increase their available credit. With Splendid, authorized users do not have the ability to access or spend on your credit account. Our tool is used by people who want to establish or increase their credit for various purposes like signing a lease or purchasing a car.

How Much Can I Earn Selling My Tradelines?
