Adding wife to account

Options
Evening all,

Just looking for some advice on asking for my wife to get added to my account for a BT.

The ball and chain....sorry wife has a barclaycard which is maxed out at £2.5k. She was recently refused by Tesco for a new BT card so i was wondering, as I have a CLEAR tesco card and they've offered me a BT at 0% for 14 months (2.9% charge) would i be able to add her as an additional card holder then transfer her barclaycard debt over? Or is only for the main account holders?

Any help is much appreciated.

    You don't even need to add her as a additional card holder, just do the BT.

    Yeah just do the balance transfer, she doesn't need to be an additional card holder. The only thing they ask for is the long card number. Thats it.

    Also, if she has maxed out one card i wouldn't recommend adding her as an additional on yours in any circumstance ;-) lol :rotfl:
