Tesco cc PIN

I ordered an additional card for my wife and we have received the PIN. It is the same as my PIN.

Is this normal, or a 0.01% coincidence?

    She should not have told you her PIN, but doing so is breaching the T&Cs of the account and could cancel out any fraud.

    Best tell her to apply for a new PIN and don't read it this time.

    I have a joint account with my oh (not Tesco) both cards were issued with the same pin.

    Maybe it's normal?

    From my experience its normal for the same pin to be used for both cards, you can change it though.

    Better to get her to change it at an ATM so she can choose one that suits her.
    loose does not rhyme with choose but lose does and is the word you meant to write.

    Yes this is what she will be doing when the card arrives. If we requested a new one I wouldn't be surprised if the PIN on both cards gets reset to the same number :S
