in Credit cards
Hi all,
Does anyone know a credit card company that allows you to add a second card holder who doesn't live in the UK? My wife is a Canadian citizen and due to study commitments won't be moving here for another year. I've asked Citi so far but they've said no due to her not being a resident of the UK

My recollection of obtaining an additional card on a credit card account is that they only want to know the name of the additional cardholder. As in many ares of life, don't volunteer information that you aren't asked for.0

Would they do checks to see whether or not she's listed as living at this address?0

Depends on the company. I added my (now) wife who is from South America when she wasn't living at my address. None of them asked any questions - however, Captial One has now been asking for proof of address and ID for her. Thankfully - she is now living with me.
