Anyone watching this??

I just learnt that if you are carrying someone elses CC then it will look very suss. I have Nigel's CC and was going to take it over to Oz with me to shop with, might have to go and get one in my name I think.

I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived!

I'm sure its illegal to use someone elses credit card anyway. Just get an additional card off his account but in your name. But if you have the same surname then im sure you could explain away carrying your husbands card around - just say you took it off him cause you didnt trust him while you were away, haha
although, id never joke around in Australian airports, they always make you feel so guilty!!

Its fraud to use someone elses card even if its your hubbys and got permission (not to say thousands do it)

But in oz you have to sign for it (unless getting money out of an atm) so you wouldn't be able to use it (unless you can also forge his signature u )

You can be an additional card holder on his account, he just has to ring creditcards to add you.

Or you can apply for one on your own. The benefit of that is if one of you lose your card at least you would have another as joint/additional cards if one is lost the whole account is stopped so your card would be useless....
