“MyCard” on multiple devices

My problem: I am the lead account in our family iCloud account. My wife is a subaccount with her own Apple ID. We share one Contact app. How can we have different “my cards” on our devices so that autofill will enter her info on her devices and my info on my devises?

Apple ONE Family Plan - Contacts question. My wife and I shared the same Apple ID since the original iPhone, I finally switched her to her own Apple ID. We want to share contact we have both build over the years. But by doing this, the MY CARD, is the same card. When she uses your info, it switches on my iPhone and vices versa. How can we use the same contact list, but with our own MY CARD?

When I share My Card from Contacts, what information does my card share? Called Apple Support about this, but the agent seemed a little unsure when they reported that it only shares my email and phone number. This got me thinking about some other questions... Does it share all the numbers and emails I have on there? Does it share other info, like my home or work address? What about other details I have listed the Notes section, or where Siri has recorded my close friends and relatives? I think this is a good feature on paper, but there are some potential problems. The "Card" I want to share at a family reunion would look very different from the Card I'd share at a business expo. I don't want my weird uncle sending bad jokes to my work address, and don't need work contacts knowing how to reach me after hours. Does Apple allow us to customize what is/isn't shared? If not, could they make that happen? Maybe even let us set up a 'Friends/Family' card and a separate 'Business time' card. It's Business Time!

Family share - purchases My wife and I have iPhones (12 and 13). I set up Family Sharing for Purchases. I am the Family Organizer. I have my credit card in Apple Wallet. She subscribes to iCloud to purchase monthly storage that gets charged to one of our Apple IDs. Don't remember which one it is. Recently, my credit card was reported lost/stolen and I got a new one. I added the new card to my wallet and her wallet. I then removed the card from both of our wallets. However, the monthly charge for iCloud is still somehow linked to the unauthorized/removed credit card via the Apple ID. When trying to purchase iCloud space she gets the following message, "Your payment method was declined. To make this purchase, ask your organizer to provide a new payment method." We have tried but not been successful. How do we accomplish this? How do I figure out which Apple ID was used?

If you are sharing the Contact app, you can't because a change made on one device/computer syncs to the other device computer.

Is there a work around possible? Can my wife set up her own Contacts app with a copy of the original joint app?

I don't know of a way to get 2 Contacts apps installed.
