in Credit cards
Hi,
My DH and i have joint Capital One cards and they both have exactly same numbers which is very useful for asking him to return stuff that I have bought on my card ;-)
They've come to end of their useful life (no more cashback) and we got a better deal with Lloyd's but the cards we got have 2 different numbers (even though money comes from same account), which is a pain.
Anyone else have joint cards which have same numbers and what lender are they from?
Thank,
Anna

What you have is a primary card holder and an additional card holder rather than a joint account.
It is normal to have different card numbers with the majority of companies, Cap One being the exception rather than the norm.

Also upon expiry, the card number remains the same but the cvv number at the back of your card will be different.0
