Most credit cards, Chase included, don't issue new numbers for AUs. They can't really tell who's charge is who.
I'm also a bit surprised you're surprised by this. They literally say they will share the info with the credit bureaus when you add an AU. It's also literally one of the major reason people add kids as AUs. It's the easiest way to create a deep credit report before they even turn 18.
