How Credit Card Piggybacking Works

Piggybacking is when someone becomes an authorized user on another person’s credit card for the purpose of boosting credit scores. However, it can be risky.

Make student an authorized user on parent credit card would allow student to build up credit history and boost student’s credit history. If parent’s credit history is poor, probably not a good idea. Authorized user isn’t responsible for any charges (parent is on hook). Hopefully student doesn’t surprise parents with some absurd charge(s).
