If you own several credit cards like I do and use credit monitoring services (also like I do), chances are high that over the past month you have seen several mysterious credit monitoring alerts containing “JPMCB CARD.”
Credit Karma provided me with this alert:
According to your TransUnion credit report, someone added you as an authorized user for their JPMCB CARD credit card.1
As authorized users, accounts that you are added to can impact your credit score in much the same way as regular accounts; so, be sure that the primary user trusts who you are.
Today is an important step in understanding this new account. Be sure to visit and see its details.
So I found it puzzling that, according to my knowledge, I hadn’t recently been added as an authorized user on any credit cards – particularly since the Equifax hack had just occurred – yet an alert appeared in my credit monitoring dashboard on that same day – more worryingly Mrs. 20SF also received her own alert on that same day! To add further worry and alarm, both she and I received exactly the same alert!
