Using OH's Makro Card

Options
My other half has a Makro card which hasn't been used in a while but think we're going to have another look there soon.

I can't remember whether it is possible to pay using a credit/debit card which is in a name other than the name on the membership card.

Can anyone help me with this?

Thought I might go and stock up on washing powder, fabric conditioner etc.

Thanks all.

  • I used to use the brother in laws until he got me one! Used either my debit or credit and they didnt say anything about us having different names.

    Found my dads old work makro card and decided to go with my brother and it had been de-activated as it had not been used in a few years so had to scan my brothers through then

    They must knock cards off their system that have not been used for a certain amount of time

    Don't think Makro is as cheap as it used to be though

    That's not so good. The card was issued in 2002 and I don't think it has been used since about 2004. It's the old style (red) card so might it have been deactivated? How difficult is it to reactivate it?

    you have to have proof of a business to reactivate

    if you dont use your card in a few months then your card will become inactive and they will deactivate it.

  • Why don't you just get your OH to apply for one for you - I have one and my OH has one and we have one for another friend throught the company. We do have a genuine company but it has changed to a Limited company since we have had the card. I didn't know they had changed from red!
