Can't see Edge credit card details

Richchad

I recently applied for an Santander Edge credit card and awaiting delivery, however I saw on the opp I could activate the cards online to enable use before we get our cards.

I activated my card as main card holder and can see my card number, PIN etc but after activating the secondary card I cannot see any details for this in the app.

Surely I must be able to see the details of the secondary card in the app to know card number, PIN etc.

I realise I will know the card number and CVV when it arrives but not the PIN but seems strange I can now view the main card in the app but not secondary card.

I've never been able to view a secondary card in any of the banking apps.

However, is it that wise to activate the card before you get it?, surely you are confirming you have received your card so if it gets intercepted it could get a bit awkward.

To be honest, I've never bothered with secondary cards for years,  I just use my card on both my wife's and my android phone, it's never been a problem.

Thanks for your reply, yes I thought about the risk of activating the card before getting it but wanted to start using it now as had some purchases to be made, I was surprised it let me activate it to be honest, so if any problem I would inform them of this security risk.

I could always freeze it now until it arrives as I have completed my transactions.

I did think perhaps I don't need a second card as we both use Google pay and could add the one card to both our phones.
