Mileage Plus Visa. . .
I want to help my nephew establish credit and also earn miles. He has no
credit and can't get a card on his own. If I put the card in my name and add him (jointly if they permit it) or as an additional card can I put the miles into his account? Or does the account that gets the miles have to have the same name as the primary? Not sure if anyone would know but thought I'd ask. thanks |

Is it worth the $60+ to get the miles (which I presume will not be that many)? Most obvious answer is to call the mileage plus visa phone number and ask them. 60 dollars annual fee is the hang up because if you do not earn enough miles for a free flight within a reasonable enough time frame, the 60 dollar per year fee *could* add up to cost you more than you could buy a ticket in the open market. |

I have done it. No problem. It must be a joint visa account with both of your financial details provided to show that there is the capacity to cope with the credit card payments. But it can be in his name and he will accrue miles. If he buys groceries and other items on it, it will be well worth doing - providing he pays off the monthly balance. |

Too many "Credit Card Repair" schemes utilize piggybacking of accounts of others to falsely inflate the credit scores of credit challenged individuals. It will have its negative drawbacks on the legitimate people who piggyback off a relative's card. |

When I was last looking into cosigning, I could put a "to a maximum of 'x'" amount into the contract I signed, which would limit my liability. As it turned out it was less paperwork to simply borrow the cash myself and lend it out, since the goal was to help someone out, not to build their credit... -- If quitters never win, and winners never quit, what fool came up with, "Quit while you're ahead"? |
