What is an add-on credit card?
An add-on credit card, or an additional credit card, is issued against a primary credit card and offers all the benefits and features that the primary card offers. Depending on the issuing bank, you can take up to five add-on cards for different family members.
Features of an add-on credit card
- The combined credit limit of add-on cards cannot exceed the credit limit of your primary credit card. Usually, the credit limit is divided among the primary and add-on credit cards
- Transactions made through add-on credit cards are reflected in the statement of the primary credit card. The bills are also combined into a single credit card bill
- Any misuse or mismanagement of an add-on credit card may have a direct impact on the credit score of the primary credit card holder
- Any interest or penalty on add-on credit cards is added to the primary credit card statement and has to be borne by the primary credit card holder
- Add-on credit cards offer the same cashback, reward points, and other bonus features as the primary card. The accumulated reward points on an add-on card are redeemable as per the primary credit card terms
- Add-on credit card holders can also use them to withdraw cash from ATMs
- Usually, banks do not charge any joining fee for issuing add-on credit cards. The annual maintenance charge is levied only on the primary credit card and not on add-on cards
