Is a supplementary card holder excluded from signing up for card in own name to get points offer and lounge access for 6 months
I know I cant sign up again for 6 months and just wanted to check if its the same for supplementary/second card holder

    No, the limits on account holders. A secondary cardholder is free to get their own and will be eligible for bonuses

    I have just started having a spring clean with my cards as I had got up to 8. I just closed one and will be closing another Today.


    Should be down to 3/4 by Xmas.

    If you get a referral from an existing member you get a bonus 2,000 MR points (assuming you are going for the gold card too) and the referrer also gets a bonus.

    Generally MR points ball park at 1p each so that bonus would be worth £20 to you (could be more or less depending on what you personally weight an MR point at).

    Clearly plenty on here would be happy to give you a referral link but if you are already a secondary cardholder with them then I guess you'd get your primary cardholder to recommend you and thus 11,000 MR points between the two of you.
