How To Add An Additional Card Holder
If you have someone special in your life, then it might be time to add an additional cardholder to your account. Whether this is a wife or husband, or even a child, adding an additional cardholder can be advantageous for a number of reasons. If you are unsure about how to add an additional cardholder to your credit card account, then here are some tips to get you started.
How to add an additional cardholder
Adding an additional cardholder is generally very easy to do, and usually involves calling up your card issuer to arrange it. All you have to do is give the details of the person that you would like to add to the account and then this will be arranged for you.
Who can I add?
In theory you can add anyone you want as an additional cardholder to your account. However, the most common people to add to your account are partners, spouses or children. You might want to add a partner or spouse if you are beginning to share your accounts with each other and pool your assets. Also, you might want to add a child to your account so that you can keep track of their spending whilst giving them some financial freedom.
Advantages of adding cardholders
The advantages of adding a cardholder are that you can reduce the number of accounts that you and the additional cardholder have, making payments easier. Also, it can help you to budget more effectively as a household if you all use the same accounts. Also, you can use the same pool of money but have separate cards, giving you the freedom to spend on your own whilst someone else does the same. It also allows you to keep track of both your spending and the spending of others, meaning you can make savings more effectively.
Disadvantages
Although there are some advantages, there can also be problems. If you add someone as an additional cardholder, then you are responsible for the balance that they accrue each month. The balance is part of your statement, so you are the one who will be liable. This might lead to problems if your child spends irresponsibly or if you are having relationship problems.
Cancelling an additional cardholder
If you have become separated or divorced from your partner or your children have moved away, then it is important to cancel any additional cards to stop them being used. To many people get landed with large bills after divorce because they forgot to cancel the extra card and their partner charged everything to their account. As long as you keep track of additional cards and cancel them when necessary, then you can reduce the amount of cards that you are your partner require whilst still having the freedom to spend.
Bridging the gap between learning and doing
Have you attended seminars, read and learned about real estate? Are you one of the many with nothing to show for it? Have you paid thousands for seminars and coaching but have still yet to do a deal? Do you love the potential real estate investing offers and the resulting lifestyle? Do you get excited?
It is easy to get excited and learn as much about real estate theory as you can. Now applying that knowledge is the tricky part. Have you heard that only 4% of seminar attendees actually do something with their new knowledge? Why are 24/25 people paying thousands of dollars and getting nothing out of it? The answers may surprise you, but best of all this can be overcome so the majority become successful implementing the material.
Do something – First off, some attendees are there because they got excited. They made an emotional purchase and think that deals and money will be thrown at them with zero effort and zero commitment. So the number one thing to bridge the gap between learning and doing is DO SOMETHING and COMMIT!
Have a plan Take what you have learned and create a very focused strategy and become a master at that strategy. If you only have 10 hours a week, avoid spending 2 hours on 5 strategies and spend all 10 on one killer strategy. You will become an expert.
Find a mentor or partner Find an expert in your strategy that will partner, coach, mentor and guide you towards success.
Have goals It is easy to push this off until next year, or until the kids are not in school or until your big project at work is done. That is not commitment. Write down what it will take to achieve your goals as daily tasks and complete them every day. You will be amazed by what you will accomplish by staying committed to your goals and to do list.
Pick the right strategy Pick a strategy that you can successfully master, mitigate risk and duplicate over and over. Delegate and create a system so you can really duplicate.
Delegate Time a problem, get an assistant or virtual assistant. Have them generate leads and do all the work you do not have time for. If a task does not absolutely positively need your expertise to do it, then delegate.
