    No, can only pay with a debit card.
    A balance transfer may work (even if they say it will not from a different person). So could try that.

    Probably better to let her deal with it and lean about money however. That is the kind optiopn.

    well there is a way of course - your husband withdraws cash on his card and uses the cash to pay off daughter's card. This would be expensive though. If you go this route it may be worth your husband applying for a new 'money transfer' credit card, where the fees for withdrawing cash are lower.
  • I think the easiest thing to do would be to just save the amount your daughter has on her credit card and pay it off that way. Like others said you could use a balance transfer but it depends on your financial situation.
