Additional Cardholder query

Options
Good afternoon all,

Just wondered if I add my partner as an additional cardholder on my credit card does this make a financial link between us with any credit reference agencies?

From my current findings I believe the answer is no, which is the answer I am looking for.

Tesco Credit Card customer services says no as well, just wanted to have that confirmed before going ahead. :D

Thanks in advance.

    Nope, you should be fine. As you will remain responsible for the whole debt yourself there would be no link. A link should only be created for an account you are jointly responsible.
