Unfortunately, it will reduce your credit score. What happens is that the original credit card account shows as closed, and you have a newly issued credit card account with a new number through the same credit card issuer. It will take at least 2 years before the newer credit card account is seen as a seasoned trade line.

What is the difference between check card debit card and credit card?

A check card and debit card are the same thing. Basically, if you already have a checking account, you would use a debit/check card the same way you would if you wrote a check. You make sure that you have the money in your checking account, scan the card at the retailer, and they will deduct that money from your checking account. A credit card is a loan. You don't necessarily need a checking account to have a credit card. When you swipe the credit card, the credit card company is paying for your purchase out of their money. In turn, they will send you a statement or invoice at the end of each month detailing how much you spent and how much you must pay. The major difference is that a credit card can lead to debt if you aren't disciplined. If you only use a check/debit card, you will never go into debt. When you run out of money in your checking account, new transactions will be declined.

What is an 'authorized user' of credit card?

When you get a card you can request to have another user on your card, they will get there own card, but it will be under your credit card. (Example: my hubby has a credit card and I'm an authorized user, so I have a card with the same acct number.) added note:- When adding an authorized user to your account, you are agreeing to any and all charges that person places on the account. If the authorized user chooses to abuse the account, such as making purchases beyond the amount that you are able to pay or by exceeding the limit of the card, the negative effects goes against the primary users credit. The authorized users credit is not affected at all and they are not responsible for payments. So be careful who you chose to add to your card.
