Can you transfer a balance from another cardholder to your new account?
by Mr Credit CardHere’s a recent question I got from a reader:
Hi
Congratulations on a very helpful blog however I have a quick question that I couldn’t find the answer too. Is it possible to transfer a credit card balance not in your name onto a credit card in your name? ie Could I transfer my partners balance onto a new credit card in my name?
Many thanks

Answer – Alistair, simple answer is YES. I called all the major credit card issuers to verify and yes, you can transfer your partner’s balance to your new card. The only time that cannot be done is if his card is from the same issuer as your new card.
