    Yes, but since this card's 0% on purchases offer is a poor 3 months only, why would you each want to be second cardholders as well?

    Looking for transfer of balance not purchases. My husband does not need me but I need him in order to get high enough credit limit

    Having your husband as a second cardholder won't increase your credit limit.

    However, having a reasonable 'total household income' might increase your credit limit, regardless of whether he's an additional cardholder or not.

  • With ref to credit limit-I hold a virgin card (got it 6 mo ago) and I take home £1000 a month and my limit is £2000-I have never missed a payment on any credit cards

    My partner is older than me-has missed a couple of payments and earns less then me and his limit is £2500-so the limit is pretty much pot luck I reckon

    But i think it's a great card for the bal tfr-beware though..miss a payment and your 0% ceases immediatly-as my partner has just learnt! Whoops!
    Loan-£3600 only 24 months of payments to go!!!
    All debt consolodated and cards destroyed!!
    As D'Ream would sing 'Things.....can only get better'!!!
