Do authorized users on credit cards get a separate bill?

Question

My dad put me as an authorized user onto his credit card, and he told me that my purchases on it will go onto his bill.

So will my purchases be combined into his on his credit card bill, or will I receive a separate credit card bill that shows all of my purchases?

I just want to know so when I pay for my things will I have to go through his bill and find my purchases, or will I receive my own separate bill to pay just for the purchases I made on that card

You are an authorized user on his credit card account, not a separate account. All charges will appear on a single bill sent to him.

It's a good habit to keep all your receipts. It would be easy to have an envelope of your purchases on this card, so you can spot the items on his bill easily, and/or tally the total and reimburse him before he even pays the total.

Authorized users do not get a bill
Being an authorized user does NOT help build your credit score

A USER is not the credit-card holder. It's someone who is USING your credit, not establishing their own. So yes, you'll have to go through all the purchases on the ONE bill they will send to your dad and pick yours out of them.

As he told you, your purchases go on his bill

Your dad will receive one bill.  I'd guess you want to purchase some "adult" items and don't want him to find out!

His bill.

"Authorized user" means you are allowed to use his credit card. It doesn't create a separate account for you.
