Just getting ready to shift around my credit card situation and I have decided on the Amex Blue Card Preferred. When I started the application I came to the "employer" question and stopped.
My wife is a full timer. I am a happy full time dad, and part-time self employed. We live primarily off of her salary and save primarily from my less-frequent income. When applying for the card, I realized that there may be a disadvantage in putting the card in my name, which I would prefer to do, since it is her income/employment that will probably determine the credit limit. I would like a high-as-possible credit limit to help with our credit scores. We will have cards with both of our names.
Am I right? Should I put the card in her name instead? Generally speaking, are there Mustachian strategies, pros/cons, for whose name is the primary cardholder?
many thanks
