Additional credit cards

Many (if not all) card issuers offer additional cards for family members - ie two cards for two people but on the same credit card account.

Is it possible to get an additional card in the same name as the main one? The reason I ask is that I have two wallets (a work and home one) that contain different sets of 'stuff' but I could do with having my credit card in both.

Is this an unusual request!? :o

    Could you perhaps get one for "Joe Bloggs" and one for "J. Bloggs"?

    Hmm, I've not heard of it, however Barclaycard are happy to issue a card and paytag on the same account to the same person, so maybe. If your CC account allows you to add a cardholder online, give it a try, the worst they can do is say no.

    If they say no you could always apply for a separate card from someone else.
