Bottom Line

There are plenty of benefits of using an add-on credit card as it offers the same benefits and reward rate as the primary credit card but is also free of cost. Students and elders enjoy the most out of the additional cards as they have little or no income to get a credit card on their own. Though the add-on credit cards are great they also carry a risk for the primary credit cardholder. As the monthly statements for these cards are shared with the primary holder and they are liable to make the payments and settle the debt. Therefore, add-on cards should be used with care.
