Why would my credit card be in their Apple Wallet?
- kelipso 2y agoPoint is that things happen if you are not super careful. They could use your phone, you could have forgotten about it, etc etc. Not everyone is some carefully planning nerd who remembers everything all the time.
- thrw42A8N 2y agoIf they use my phone to purchase something, abusing my access code in the process, they are grounded for weeks and many other privileges will be taken away. I myself have never dared to touch my father's wallet or phone, or even look at him typing his password.
- sourcepluck 2y ago> Not everyone is some carefully planning nerd who remembers everything all the time. I chuckled at this. The "carefully planning nerds" are being ruthlessly called out here, and I for one did not see it coming.
- criddell 2y agoFor very small children it probably doesn't make sense, but when they get a bit older it's not that unusual. My kids have my credit card on their phone for when they need it. They are also joint owners of our bank accounts. We've told them if they ever get the news that we have died, they should go withdraw a bunch of money to carry them over until all the estate stuff settles.
- tommica 2y agoDamn, it's impressive how trusting you are with them. My parents would never had done that. Seems like your kids are being raised well.
- criddell 2y agoSharing a credit card doesn’t take an huge amount of trust. Every time a charge is made on my card, a notification flies by on my phone. If they abuse the card, I would find out right away.
- johnisgood 2y agoYeah, it is definitely something unheard of around here (never heard of a kid having their parents' credit cards) in Eastern Europe, for all I know.
