Add on Card

• Add-on credit cards are great for students over 18, non-working family members, and elderly parents.
• Add-on cards offer the same rewards, cashbacks, and bonuses as the primary card, with redeemable rewards following the primary card terms.
• Add-on cards provide financial freedom to those without their own cards.
• They also offer features like revolving credit, mobile alerts, and interest-free periods.
• Users of add-on cards enjoy similar benefits as the primary cardholder, but sometimes premium perks are exclusive to the primary cardholder.
• You can withdraw cash from ATMs using an add-on card with a limit either the same or less than the primary card, depending on the bank.

Credit Score – Paying bills and how add-on cards are used are connected to the main account. If there are issues or mistakes with the add-on card, it can hurt the primary cardholder's credit score. Building a good credit history takes a while, so the main account holder needs to make sure the add-on cards are used responsibly.It's important that the use of add-on cards doesn't negatively affect the main cardholder's credit history.

Credit Limit – The amount of money you can spend with an add-on credit card is either the same as or less than the main card, depending on the issuing bank. The total spending limit for all cards, both main and add-on, is divided from the main card's total limit. So, each card, whether main or add-on, has its own specific spending cap. This also applies when taking out cash from ATMs – there's a limit for each card.

Tracking the Transactions – Every transaction made with add-on cards shows up in the primary account. This means that you can keep track of all the purchases and expenses made by each add-on credit card holder through the primary account statement.

• All spending shows up in the main account, and the main cardholder is the one responsible for paying the bill.
• If there's any late payment or misuse of add-on cards, the main cardholder has to pay any extra fees or interest.
• Misusing add-on cards can also affect the main cardholder's credit score, so it's crucial to keep track to avoid any negative impact.
• The main cardholder should talk to everyone using add-on cards about how to use them responsibly to prevent any problems.
• If the benefits on add-on cards are different, the main cardholder needs to know and explain them to the users.
• It's a good idea to avoid taking out cash with the card because the interest charged is really high.

Many banks provide add-on credit cards, but the rules for how many you can get and how much you can spend are set by each bank. The way you apply for them and who is allowed to get them also changes from one bank to another. Each bank has its own rules for who is eligible to get an add-on card.
