    Can you add it to Apple Pay so you always have it with you (if you have your phone with you that is).  I don't think you can have 2 cards on the same account in your name.

    You can please some of the people some of the time, all of the people some of the time, some of the people all of the time but you can never please all of the people all of the time

    Depends on your card issuer... certainly AmEx allows you to issue a secondary card to yourself on some of their products.

    Yes you can as they use there own individual tokenisation ID. 

    I have a few of my cards on my IPhone, Apple Watch and also my iPad.

    Say you paid for a bus using a credit card and your wife paid for it somewhere else using same card?

    would you only pay for one days buss pass?

    No, you'd pay for both transactions (and have a bus pass each).

    No you would each pay for your individual buss pass and be charged accordingly i.e 2 separate transactions, as you both would have paid separately.

    I don't think you are grasping that each device has its own unique token ID and its that which is used to identify which device was used to pay. 

    You can have your cards on up to 10 devices (depending on the card provider) if you have that many devices should you so choose to do so.

    Only way would be a additional card holder. But you are looking at a big security risk leaving card in a locker.

    So what if you use same card on one device in the morning and one in the afternoon and your wife used another device same card in the evening?

    That would be three transactions.
