Can I Have An Additional Cardholder On My Account?
You can have one or more additional Cardholders on your credit card account with most companies.
These details will normally be arranged at application, when you will be offered the opportunity to include details for extra cardholders. If you already have a credit card, you will be able to add an additional cardholder simply by contacting your credit card company either online or by telephone, and sending the request. As long as that person is aged 18 or over, they will be accepted.
As the primary Cardholder, you will be responsible for paying the entire bill, and the second Cardholder will have no legal responsibility for the card. Make sure that you do not hand out of any of your security details, such as user name and password, to anyone.
If you wish to change the details of or remove your second Cardholder, simply contact your credit card issuer to make the amendment. You will still be liable for transactions with the second Cardholder's card until you have returned it to the credit card issuer, having cut the card in half.
