I know this is a silly question, but....

..... would making my OH a secondary card holder to my CC acc give us the same financial links as, say, a joint acc?

OH wants a card for emergencies, and I wanna monitor it (Vanquis don't do online, hence his £500 bill :mad: ) so I thought I'd make him a 2nd on my new RSPCA card - limits only £750

Cheers

    No it will create no financial links because you are solely responsible for paying his bills.

    Clapton is right is who ever the accounts name is in.

    I remember when my husband got a credit card and put me on the account. The woman in the bank said I did not have to pay a penny back as the account was in his name. So I said I would go and blow the lot she laughed and my husband never said a word :rotfl:
