Title: Op-ed: My kids have credit cards and yours should, too
Summary: Six million American parents have at least one minor child with a credit card, according to a 2019 CreditCards.com poll. Children under 18 cannot apply for their own cards, but they can be added to their parents’ accounts as authorized users and be issued a card. Some banks, such as Chase and Citi, do not have a minimum age requirement for authorized users. How do they do it? Do they bribe the card issuers with their kids’ photos and birthdays? Or do they use some secret code word that only they and their kids know? Or do they just hope for the best and pray that their kids don’t rack up too much debt? Either way, it’s a risky business, but also a fun way to teach your kids about money and responsibility. Just make sure you monitor their spending and pay their bills on time, or else you might end up with a lot of angry calls and letters from the card companies. And don’t forget to set some limits and rules for their card usage, or else they might end up spending more than you can afford. After all, you don’t want your kids to become the next generation of credit card addicts.
