As I recall, they don't ask for enough details (i.e. address) about the second person to do a credit check - why would they need to, as they're not offering any extra credit, and you'll still be responsible for it?[size=-2]Matched betting profit: ~ £30,000 since Jan 2005

It's only fraud if you get caught.

I asked Egg where my 20 quid was...
"If you were one of the first 8000 customers to request a secondary cardholder, you'll receive the £20 credit to your account by the 31st October 2004. "
I guess Egg want a lot more than 8000 people to apply for their second card

Woo Yay, me too.
Many thanks Alared for highlighting.0 -
I have never known a CC issuer carry out a credit check on an additional cardholder; this is most likely because the principal cardholder is liable for any debt on the card regardless of which cardholder incurred it.I don't know whether they perform a credit search on that 2nd person or not, I presume so because they have to verify that they are over 18.0 -
also got credited here - thanks! :D
shame I forgot about it though (that I applied a few weeks ago)... just paid off the card recently in full, so now I'm £20 in credit lol..
is there anyway to get this money off the card?0 -
