Every other credit card my husband and I have list both of us as full account holders. The AT&T card will not - which I found out when I tried to call them about a problem. They would not talk to me at all and I had to get my husband to call them to settle the problem.
What really pisses me off is that the only reason we have that card is that I used to have AT&T long distance on the phone number that has always been in my name only and they issued me a calling card. At some point they "upgraded" the calling card to a credit card but for some archaic reason decided to make my husband the primary person on the account and me just an auxiliary card holder. Never mind that the original accounts were solely in my name, every check that ever was used to pay for any of the accounts, phone or credit was written by me. I didn't count because I am a woman, I guess.
For a while I still used the AT&T card for Amazon purchases since they made it easy to use the points accumulated on the card account. But not any more.
A similar thing happened with our GM card. I opened the account, thinking I might use the accumulated points towards buying a new car. Up to that point, I'd been a faithful GM customer. *I* opened the account, *I* filled out the application, *I* paid every bill, but they would only talk to my husband if a call had to be made. That card got put away in the filing cabinet - closing it would affect our credit - and has not been used in over fifteen years. They still send out new cards every few years, I don't even activate them anymore, just file them away.
The AT&T card will fit nicely in the same filing cabinet. The account balance has stayed at zero for over six months and will remain there.
Discover, no problem, AAA Master Card, no problem. Even the Bank of America card, no problem. The other two companies can just beg for our business.
