Cards that ask about household income

I'm looking to move the missus' overdraft to a 0% card but she's a SAHM she has no income of her own. Is there any card which asks about household rather than personal income?

Why don't you just apply for a card and add her as an additional cardholder?[size=-2]Matched betting profit: ~ £30,000 since Jan 2005
Quidco cashback: ~ £3,500 since May 2005
Topcashback: ~ £2,100 since Oct 2005
Rpoints: ~ £600 since June 2004
It's only fraud if you get caught.
I don't offer advice by PM so please post your questions in the appropriate thread.[/size]0 -
My mrs is a "homemaker" too.....and on the last two apps (Egg & MBNA) i've put £1200 which is roughly what she gets in child benefit and a little bit of tax credit, and then the next box is usually total houshold income which fortunatly is not that bad.
She got accepted on both, not a large amount but still
However the best one was Moument who give her 3500, so maybe worth trying them out.

Not 100% sure but I think Sky Card might ask for household income. I'm sure someone else will be able to confirm or correct this.0

m&s - I can confirm they ask for 'household income' - they asked the same question (why?) when I negotiated a limit increase too.Ethical moneysaver0

Thanks everyone - I will try those cards first.
I don't think I get an extra balance transfer if I add her as a second cardholder, otherwise I'd have gone that route.0 -
